THE HISTORY OF JULIUS GUY MURRAY
A Brief Story of My Life 8-20-64
Born on Jul 3, 1890, at Jensen, Utah to Jeremiah and Christina Nilsson Murray at 2:00 A. M.,
I was born in a log house with a dirt floor on the bank of the Green River. My father was engaged in farming at this time. When I was 4 years old, my parents moved to Vernon, Tooele Co., Utah, which took us about 8 days travel. My father herded sheep for John C. Sharp that winter. Next spring, we moved to Fairfield, Utah, then called Camp Floyd.
There my father was engaged in the mercantile business. He also delivered meat to the Sunshire Mine about 6 to 8 miles west. At the age of 6, I started my schooling in this community. I played games, run races around the block, and had kid fights. I remember one day my father wanted a bucket of water.
There was running water just out in front of the store and a foot bridge crossed the creek and a small drop in the drop. I went after the water as big as you please, stooped over the edge of the bridge, dropped the bucket under the fall and you guessed it, in I went, head first. My father watching me all this time, figuring what would happen, well he pulled me out and took me home. The sad part of it was my mother had just bought me a new sailor suit (blue) and I was afraid it was spoiled, but it was okay. When mother got through with it, it was just like new.
