(Sackett) Murray, natives of New York, the father of Scotch and the mother of English descent. The father, who was by trade a tailor, raised a family of five children, of whom W. S. is the third. As his father died before he had finished the course of the common schools, our subject was early set to learn carpentering, which he followed for seven years, since which he has been employed by railway companies. Commenced railroading in 1858, and in 1863 he came to Meadville, which has ever since been his home. From 1863 to 1873 he ran an engine, and he was then appointed dispatching engineer, for which his long experience eminently qualifies him. He was married in Great Bend, Penn. , to Ruth A. Carpenter, and they have two children ? William F. and Fred H. Mr. Murray has served three years on the School Board; politically he is a Republican.
