JOHN
PHILLIP MURRAY (03 MAY 1851 - 28 APRIL 1913)
John
Murray, a pioneer resident of Bentley township died at his home one mile east
of Estey April 28, age 61 years, 10 months and 27 days. He was born at Round
Out, Ulster county, New York, May 3, 1851, of French descent. He came to Michigan 33 years ago, and located at Midland. While there he was married Dec. 21, 1885, to
Helen Strong who still survives. To this union was born nine children, eight of
whom still survives; namely, George of Saginaw, William serving in the U.S.
Marines on the Battleship Utah; Clarence, Ovid, Florence, Mabel, Edna and
Willard, Frank an infant, died 18 years ago. Mrs. Card, a step-daughter, is
also left to mourn, with his many friends.
In 1896 Mr. Murray located in Bentley
township, purchasing 80 acres of wild land which he afterwards cleared and
improved. Here he resided until his death, enjoying the successes, and meeting
the failures, incident to pioneer life, with the same irrespressible sense of
wit and good humor that characterized him through out his life.
Three years ago he became afflicted with
Bright's disease. Though his sufferings were sometimes intense, he never
complained nor gave up hope. A few weeks ago his condition became grave. His
children were called home and surrounded by loving relatives and solicitous
friends he peacefully awaited the end which came at 3:30 p.m., April 28.
The funeral held at the house April 30, at 2
p.m., conducted by Rev. Henry Anderson was largely attended. As a token of
respect to Mr. Murray as a member of the school board the school children and
others gathered trailing arbutus which Mrs. David Stone wove into a beautiful
wreath and placed upon the casket. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery
north of Estey.
"All was ended now, the hope and the
fear and the sorrow; all the aching of heart the restless, unsatisfied longing,
all the dull, deep pain, and constant anguish of patience."
"What is it that sometimes speaks to
the soul so calmly, so clearly that its earthly time is short? Is it the secret
instinct of decaying nature, or the soul's impulsive throb as immortality draws
on? Be what it may it fest on the heart - a calm, sweet, prophetic certainty
that heaven is near - calm as the light of sunset, sweet as the bright
stillness of autumn. Here let his heart repose troubled not by the sarrow of
those who loved him so dearly." Gladwin County Record dated 05-08/1913

they were fishing for lake trout in "very choppy water" near the
mouth of the AuSable
River. According to Oscoda-AuSable Township
police, an unidentified boater saw the Poole
boat capsize shortly afternoon and notified Patricia Brewer, owner of the Main
Pier Marina.

Oscoda Yacht Club and a member of the Oscoda Coast Guard Auxiliary. He and
three other club members rushed to the scene. Payne said the "water was
terribly rough," with waves up to eight feet.
The Oscoda man said he saw something in the
water that looked like a coat, but turned out to be Mrs. Poole's body. Police
estimated Mrs. Poole had been in the chilly water between 30 and 40 minutes.
