	MISS NANCY MURRY SPENT 75 YEARS OF LIFE HERE

	The daughter of a colorful early day sheriff of Coke County,
L. B. Murray, Miss Nancy Murray, 75 years a resident of this
community, went to rest here after a long illness and was buried
in Robert Lee Cemetery Saturday afternoon.
	Funeral was at the Robert Lee Baptist Church, with the
pastor, Rev. Bill Beaty conducting the service and Clift Funeral
home in charge.
	Death came at the Coke Memorial Hospital here Friday morning.
	She is survived by four sisters, Miss Effie Murray, with
whom she lived in Robert Lee, Mrs. Pearl Cave and Mrs. Trudy
Johnson both of Prosser, Washington, and Mrs. Susan Warren of
Arizona and several nieces and nephews.
	Miss Nancy and Miss Effie had lived here many years.  All
her sisters were with her in the last days, and had come from time
to time to be with her in the long illness.
	Her father, the pioneer sheriff, passed on in 1923.  The 
family lived at Sanco for awhile in early days, but came to Robert
Lee before the turn of the century.
	Nancy Murray lived her quiet uncomplaining life to the end 
among friends she knew in childhood.
