   T. C. MURRAY, manufacturer and dealer in boots and shoes, was born in
Louisville, Ky., June 22, 1854, and is one of only two children living, in a
family of ten, born to Dennis and Margaret (Coughlan) Murray. His parents were
natives respectively of Counties Wexford and Cork, Ireland; were married at
Manchester, England, in 1842, and four years after this event set sail for the
United States. Mrs. Murray died in 1877, but Mr. Murray has since re-married and
resides at Bloomfield, working at shoe-making. T. C. Murray removed with his
parents to Bloomington, Ind., when two years old, and from there to Brown
County, in 1857. He received only ordinary schooling advantages in youth, and
when yet a boy learned the boot and shoe business of his father. He came with
the family to Bloomfield in 1874, and on the 11th of June, 1876, the nuptial
ceremony of his union with Miss Matilda Doyle, was solemnized. Mrs. Murray bore
her husband a family of four children— Sadie, Mary E., Dennis E. (deceased), and
J. W.—but being afflicted with consumption bore her sufferings uncomplainingly,
and finally gave up this life for the better one in the year 1883. Mr. Murray is
among the enterprising young men of Bloomfield, and by strict attention to
business and doing first-class work, has an established trade which requires his
entire attention, and which he justly merits. In politics, he advocates the
principles of the national Democratic party, and he is the present V. G. of
Bloomfield Lodge, No. 457, I. O. O. F. He is a member of the Christian Church as
was also Mrs. Murray.
