The Sudden Death Of Ward Murray. Ate Hearty Supper Tuesday Night, Died on Wednesday Morning.

Thomas Ward Murray died suddenly Wednesday morning at his home in the eastern part of the city. Tuesday night he was well and ate a hearty supper. During the night he was stricken and gradually grew worse until about six in the morning when he died. Heart trouble is thought to have been the immediate cause of death. The funeral was held this afternoon in the Vernal First Ward House in the presence of a large congregation.

Mr. Murray was born in Spanish Fork August 6, 1870 and has been in this valley for 28 years. He has been engaged in the cattle and ranching business at which he has always been more or less prosperous. He was well thought of by all who knew him.
