STEPHEN ROBERT MURRAY

Stephen Robert Murray is the son of James Lafayette Murray and wife, Mary E. 
(Patton) Murray, of Bronwood, Ga.  They were natives of Schley County, Ga.  
James L. Murray was considered one of Terrell County's most progressive and 
prosperous farmers at the time of his death, July 6, 1924, at age of 68 
years.  His mother still lives on her farm near Bronwood.

S. Robert Murray was brought up in an environment of thrift and Christian 
culture which go a long way in making life a real success.  This early 
training, connected with his prudence, practical business judgment and 
persistent industry, have made him one of our most successful business men.  
While still a young man he is proprietor and operator of one of the oldest 
mercantile establishments in the city which has been continuously at the same 
location.  In 1920 he built a beautiful home on the south corner of Isabella 
and Pope streets.  He served on the City Council for several years and has 
been steward of the Methodist Church for a long period of time.  For some time 
he was a member of the Kiwanis Club.  He is a staunch Democrat.

He was married in 1914 to Lillie Roberts, the daughter of James Roberts, of 
Colquitt, Ga.  On her parental side, she is descended from the Roberts and 
Bush families of Miller County and on her maternal side she is descended from 
Martin and Curry families of Randolph County.  She is descended from many 
sires who helped to establish the Independence of America, and on both sides 
from Confederate Soldiers.

She is a member of the Missionary Baptist Church and a member of the Women's 
Club.
