In Memory of Polly E. Murray

Polly E. Murray the subject of this sketch was the daughter of
 [Unreadable ] Jervis of Madison County.  [Unreadable] Jervis  family was
one of the first to settle in the Western part of the State.
Sister Murray was born January, 11th 1825.  She professed religion in her
19th year and joined the Baptist Church at Little Ivy.  She was married to
W. B. Murray then of Tennessee February the 5th, 1854.  She was the mother of 
four children two girls and two boys.  The two daughters have both gone 
before.  The two sons Tom and Will both prominent citizens of the county, and 
the husband, W. B. Murray survive her.
Sister Murray was a kind and affectionate wife, being truly a help-mate to
her husband, a tender mother, a good neighbor and a devoted christian.  Tho
last years of her life was full of suffering, she had the misfortune to fall 
and so injured her hip that she was never able to walk the last five years of 
her life.  But mid her misfortunes she manifested the greatest patience, never 
loosing her sweetness of spirit.  She died at her old home on Californio 
Creek, to her the sweetest place on earth.
In addition to the husband and two sons she leaves a large number of
relatives, and a host of friends to mourn her absence.
She sleeps in Jesus blessed sleep, from which none ever wakes to weep.
