On 11 Apr 1909, a number of the relatives of Mrs. William Murray, formerly
of Round Plains, called at the residence of her son, Wesley
Murray, No. 1131 St. Clair St., Port Huron, Mich., to congratulate her
on her 82nd birthday. Many letters and token of remembrance were received from relatives
and friends in Ontario and other places.
Mrs. Murray is the daughter of John Pegg and Elizabeth Austin, U.E.
Loyalists, who moved from Pennsylvania into Norfolk County in 1792,
and is the sole survivor of her father's family, four brothers and
four sisters, having passed over the river.
She is active and retains her faculties to an eminent degree. She
can read and sew without the aid of glasses. We hope she may live to
enjoy many more returns of her natal day.
Among those who called to extend congratulations were Mr. and Mrs.
Wesley Murray, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Murray, Mrs. George Roberts and
children, Clyde and Greta, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Pegg, Misses Julia and
Beatrice Pegg and others.
Mr. C. G. Murray of this village is a son of Mrs. Murray.
