  AARON MURRAY, who, for forty-seven years has been a continuous resident of 
Girard Township, Clearfield County, Pa., where he is part owner of 204 acres of 
valuable farm and coal land, was born on this farm and is a son of Anderson and 
Perninah (Kyler) Murray, the former of whom, a native of Clearfield County, 
cleared this farm by his own efforts.
  Aaron Murray attended the district schools in his boyhood when his father 
could spare him, but from youth has been more or less engaged actively in 
farming and stockraising, coming into possession of the farm at the death of 
his parents.  They were among the best known and most highly respected old 
settlers of the township.  Mr. Murray takes an active interest in township 
matters, being especially interested at all times in good roads and good 
schools.  In politics he is a Republican and on the ticket of that party he was 
elected township assessor, in February, 1909.  He has served acceptably also on 
the election board and is considered one of the township's representative and 
trustworthy men.
  In 1903 Mr. Murray was married to Miss Fannie B. Graham, of Girard Township, 
and they have four children:  Genevieve May, Annabel, Zella Marie, and Hannah 
Perninah.  Mr. Murray and family belong to the Methodist Episcopal church.
