GEORGE MURRAY DIES AFTER INJURY AT WRANGELL MILL. George Norman Murray, 62, veteran mill worker and edgerman in the Wrangell Lumber Mills, died yesterday about nine o'clock in the morning, en route to the hospital after being injured at his job in the local mill. Murray was working at his job running the edger when he was struck in the throat by a large splinter. As soon as his death was reported, the mill shut down for respect for Murray. Murray had worked in mills at Ketchikan, Juneau and Sitka, as well as earlier operation of the local plant under other management. He was born in Earltown, Nova Scotia and became an American Citizen in 1948. Last year he visited a surviving sister in Nova Scotia and is believed to have brothers in Washington and California. A daughter Mrs. Maxine Peterson, Everett, Washington, has arranged for burial at Wrangell Memorial Cemetery, and will arrive here tomorrow. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 3 o'clock from the First Presbyterian Church of which Mr. Murray was an elder. The Reverend Paul Evans, according to Mr. Murray's often expressed desire, asks friends to omit flowers. However, those wishing to contribute toward a George Murray Memorial for the church, may do so.
