M. Murray, banker, stock raiser and dealer in general merchandise, was born in
Scotland in 1840; came to America at the age of seventeen years, located at
Little Sioux, and was in the employ of the mail service at fifteen dollars per
month until 1862, when he removed to Denver, Col., and engaged in the stock and
freight business. Six years later he returned to this place and engaged in his
present business. He owns a fine stock farm of several hundred acres near town,
on which still stands the little old log house that he arrived at in 1857, a
penniless Scotch lad. It was the first building used for a store in Harrison
county.
