Founding of Oakland
editMurray was founded in 1868 as Oakland,[13] The Burlington and Missouri River Railroad (B&MR) extended its line from Burlington, Iowa, about 164 miles west, to Murray in 1867. Before that, for nearly two decades – since the first settlement – Clarke County was served by stage lines.[14] Since there alread was an Oakland in Iowa, the town was renamed Murray, the namesake of a railroad employee.
The village was laid out in 1868, by Messrs. Sigler of Osceola and Smith Henderson Mallory (1835–1903) of Chariton, and, in the beginning, occupied a 120 acre tract. It is divided into forty-eight blocks, each 316 feet square. The streets running east and west are numbered from the south, from First to Ninth. The north and south streets are, beginning at the west, Sherman, Lyon, Maple, Grant, Colfax, McClellan and Troy. Maple avenue and Fifth street are the principal thoroughfares.
Incorporation of Murray
editMurray was incorporated Thursday, October 21, 1880, thirty-four years after Clarke County had been established by the Territorial Legislature (January 13, 1846). Murray's first City Council meeting was held December 7, 1880.[15][16]
Murray is in western Clarke County – Section 10 of the Troy Township – about ten miles west of Osceola.[17] It is situated along the historic Mormon Trail. Driving distance, Des Moines is 57.6 miles via I-35 N and Omaha is 122.5 miles via US-34 W.

Murray Recreation Complex
editMormon Trail
editRailroad
editA forerunner of the BNSF, the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad (CB&Q) had a branch line across Southern Iowa, the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad (B&MR). The latter was incorporated in Burlington in 1852. Operations began over the first few miles of track on New Year’s Day, 1856. The railroad reached Ottumwa by 1857, through Murray in the fall of 1858 and was completed to the Missouri River in November 1859.
There were three train stations in Clarke County: (i) Woodburn, in Jackson Township; (ii) Osceola, in Osceola Township, and (iii) Murray, in Troy Township.
- "MURRAY - This is the name given to the new station of the B. & M. R.R. ten miles west of Osceola. It is locatedon a beautiful, high rolling prairie, in the midst of a splendid agricultural potion of the county. It is in Troy township and near the State road leading from Osceola to Afton, and also on the road from Winterset, running south. It is perhaps in the most fertile but least timbered part of the county. There is, however, good timber in sight on South river and Seven Mile Creek. The proprietors of Murray are the B. & M. R.R. and H.C. Sigler, Esq., of Osceola. It is expected to become an important shipping point."

- GPS: 41.025629, -93.946535
- Elevation: 1184'
Located ten miles west of Osceola on U.S. Hwy-34, the Murray Roadside Park offers travelers and local residents 12 acres for peaceful, rural outdoor relaxation. The town of Murray is just one half mile north of the park. It was the very first Clakre County Park. The park has a picnic shelter, a playground, rest rooms, and a variety of trees, shrubs and wildflowers that attract birds and other wildlife.
34th Infantry Division Highway
editOn July 31, 1948, by way of a ceremony at Red Oak, Iowa — about 71 miles (114 km) west of Murray via US-34 — US Highway 34 (the part that runs through Iowa) was dedicated as the 34th Infantry Division Memorial Highway, for the Iowans who served during World War II. Signs with the Red Bull insignia for the 34th are posted along the highway, from Burlington, Iowa, to Plattsmouth, Nebraska. The insignia was designed in 1917 by an Iowan, Marvin Dorwart Cone (1891–1965), while serving in the U.S. Army at Camp Cody, New Mexico.

Schools
editVicinity schools
editIn 1858 the Free School Act was passed by the Iowa legislature. This act allowed local property taxes to support the local schools. Because schools need money to operate, this act made it possible for schools to develop more quickly. This act also allowed for building one high school in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. A superintendent for each county was hired.

Brush College
editThe Brush College schoolhouse, also called Madison Country School No. 5, is five miles north of Murray on Route 15. It had moved from Madison Township (contiguous on the north border of the Troy Township). The schoolhouse was built in 1875. It closed in 1952 but was used as a voting place until the 1990s when it reverted back to the farm family that had originally owned it.
First Schools in Clarke County
editThere are at this time three schools in the place, and throughout the county a general system of common schools was organized in 1856 by Prof. J. H. L. Scott (John Hillis Lettson Scott; 1822–1904), and by him are the citizens of the county indebted for his zeal and labors in educational matters, in which none could have done better.[28]
Prof. Scott, while living in Osceola, also organized the Madison County Teachers' Institute in Winterset October 1858.[29]
Notable people
edit- Meridel Le Sueur (née Meridel Wharton) — American writer associated with the proletarian movement of the 1930s and 1940s[30]
- Glenn Parker — Justice of the Wyoming Supreme Court: December 5, 1955 – January 6, 1975; Chief Justice: (i) January 1, 1963 – January 2, 1967 & (ii) January 1, 1973 – January 2, 1975[31] He was a son of Charles Parker (1870–1943) and Mary Lavanchie Ball (1873–1958).
His paternal grandparents, Sherrow William Parker (1840–1913) and Lizette May Crew (maiden; 1844–1924) had a farm in the Madison Township: (i) in the southwest corner of Section 21 and (ii) the north half of Section 17. Sherrow had served in the 52nd Ohio Infantry Regiment of the Union Army during the Civil War.[32][33] One of his paternal uncles, Albertas ("Bert") Parker (1877–1971), had a small farm is the northeast corner of Section 9 of the Madison Township.
Infamous people
editIn Murray, Edward ("Eddie") James Adams (1887–1921):
- killed Charles ("Charley") William Jones (1870–1921) and
- seriously wounded Dr. Roy Ward Fuller (1889–1950), a Murray veterinarian. When the robbers were about to leave, one of them searched Fuller’s pockets and fired another shot into him. As a result of that, the bullet lodged in his spinal column, causing him to be paralyzed from the waist down.
Adams' and his gang wounded two others in the posse:
- Charles H. Eaton, a Murray auctioneer, had three bullet holes in his chest.
- John Miller, a farmer near Osceola and former night watchman at Osceola, had both bones of his forearm shattered by a bullet and a bullet hole in his chest.
The robbers then jumped into Sheriff Ed West's (née Edward Jocephus West; 1877–1955) car and started up the road. As they passed Jones, one took deliberate aim at him opening fire. He was shot through the lower chest cavity, once through the back and through the shoulder.
all while resting near Murray after escaping a bank robbery at Osceola, October 19, 1921.

Public policy
editOn January 13, 1902, Senator William Bell Tallman (1848–1946)[34] presented a petition of 218 men and women of Troy township, Clarke county, favoring woman's suffrage.[35] On July 2, 1919, during a Special Session of the State Legislature, Iowa Became the tenth state to ratify the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
On January 13, 1902, Iowa State Senator William Bell Tallman (1848–1946) presented a petition – signed by 218 residents of the Troy Township, Clarke County – to the state senate advocating for women's suffrage.
In 1894, the Iowa legislature granted women “partial suffrage," the right to vote on bond issues and similar matters but not where there were candidates running for office. In 1916, the state legislature submitted to Iowa voters (still all men) a constitutional amendment to remove the word “male” as a requirement to vote. Areas where pro-alcohol sentiments were strong opposed it as did liquor manufacturers. The Catholic Church, which pointed to biblical passages citing the man as head of the family, also opposed it. Counties along the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers where these two groups were strong racked up huge majorities to narrowly defeat the measure.
Clarke County Reservoir Commission
editWater Works Completion 1957
Edward Louis Patera, Sr. (1901–1976), and and son, Edward Louis Patera, Jr. (1927–2008), consulting engineers from Des Moines, completed a new waterworks system in Murray in 1956.[36][37]
The Clarke County Reservoir Commission (CCRC) was established in March 2003 for the purpose of creating a reservoir for water supply and other purposes. On November 3, 2009, registered voters in Murray authorized a local sales and services tax for the incorporated area of the City of Murray at a rate of 1%, effective January 1, 2010. As of January 2021, David Wayne Beck (born 1954) has been project manager. Beck earned a Bachelor of Applied Science degree in Wildlife Biology from Kansas State University (1976) and a Masters of Public Administration from University of South Dakota (1993). CCRC's headquarters is in Creston.
Formation of the Commission is the result of six groups filing a 28E Agreement with the Iowa Secretary of State. A Iowa §28E Agreement, as defined by Iowa Code §28E.1 (Chapter 28E: "Joint Exercise of Governmental Powers"; Subchapter 1: "Purpose") " ... is to permit state and local governments in Iowa to make efficient use of their powers by enabling them to provide joint services and facilities with other agencies and to cooperate in other ways of mutual advantage."[38][39]
CCRC's founding entities were:
- Osceola Water Works, Board of Trustees, Osceola
- Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA), Creston
- Clarke County, Osceola
- City of Osceola
- City of Murray
- City of Woodburn
Historic media
editNewspapers
editThe first paper at Murray was The Record, established in 1872 by John Edward "Ed" Wick (1832–1905), and by him run for a short time.
This was succeeded by The News, the first number of which was issued about April 1, 1876, by B.L. Harding.[40][41]
He was followed in a year or so, by Joshua Fisher Bishop (1831–1912), who lived at Afton and performed his editorial work at that place.
The next proprietors were the Bird Brothers, who in 1879, sold to H.D. Crawford.
He afterward received into partnership William H. Farner.[42]
In 1881 Crawford disposed of his interest to J.D. Martindale, and Farner sold his share to Ezra Theodore Dufur (1851–1940)
The firm of Martindale & Dufur existed one year, and then Mr. Martindale became sole proprietor.
The News is politically a Republican paper. It is a seven-column folio, issued on Wednesdays, at $1.50 per year.[16]
