Show Foreword & Acknowledgements Murray's history is easily told through the homes and buildings that still surround us in our community of which we encourage community members to preserve and restore. This inventory of remaining structures built before 1920 was originally compiled to select 100 homes representative of Murray's past to be featured in a FREE brochure provided by a grant from the Utah Humanities Council. However, after much research and many volunteer hours later, we felt that the entire compiled information would be of great interest to former and current Murray residents -- young and old, longtime residents, and newcomers. A great deal of thanks goes to many volunteers and individuals who have taken the time to provide information for this publication. A special thanks goes to Maria VanDerHeyden for many hours of photography, Julie Davis for compiling a related children's curriculum and traveling photo exhibit, Dr. John McCormick as professional consultant and editor of the free history brochure, Adele Weiler as consultant for Murray history curriculum development, and as research coordinators - Aleen Phinney, Carma Walker, Marshall Brinton, Julie Davis, and Webb Snarr. By exploring the people and places of the past, we hope you will gain a growing appreciation for a dynamic community named "Murray". This publication is intended to be just the start of your exploration which we hope will encourage discussions between parents, grandparents, children, and gr~lI1d ::hildren. If you know of missing information regarding any of these homes or their early occupants, we encourage you to let us know! For many of you, the research and discovery has really just begun ..... .
