THE MURRAY CLAN OF ORANGE.
Ten members of one of the oldest Orange families, the Murrays, are now serving with the Australian Imperial Forces (writes our correspondent). The oldest member of the clan, Mr. John Murray, of Cudal neighborhood, is over 100 years of age and is still physically strong. A brother, Mr. Walter Murray, died few months back at the age of 93 years. The family came from Sutherland, Scotland, reaching Australia in the early thirties. They soon made their way to the Orange district and adopted pastoral pursuits, and later farming. Their immediate progenitor fought in the Battle of Waterloo. Messrs Adam and William Murray were members of the Soudan contingent, while Sergt. Adam Murray, Trooper Geo. Murray. and Trooper Miller Murray fought in the Boer war. At the beginning of the present war Sage and George Murray, of The Meadows, were among the first to leave, going with the first detachment of the Light Horse, to be followed by George Murray, of Cudal; John Murray, Cumnock; Roy Douglas, Eugowra; Miller Murray, The Meadows; James and Walter Murray, Cumnock; Frank Murray, Toogong; and Sergeant C. Murray, Orange. George and Miller were in the South African war. Roy Douglas has been thrice wounded.
