Charles Timothy Murray, master of the Somerville (Mass.) High School, died at his home at 28 Franklin St., in that city, April 3, after a long period of ill health.
Mr. Murray was born in Southboro, Mass., August 25, 1857. After graduation he taught for two years at Penacook, N. H., and three years at Scituate, Mass., going to the Somerville schools in 1887. It was his boast that more men went to Dartmouth from the Somerville High School than from any other high school in the country.
He was prominent in the Masonic order, being a member of Soley Lodge, Royal Arch Chapter, and De Molay Chapter, Knights Templar, all of Somerville. He was a member of Excelsior Lodge of the Royal Arcanum of that city, and attended the Perkins St. Baptist church.
In 1894 Mr. Murray was married to Isabel Northey of Scituate. She survives him, as do three children, the oldest, Pauline N. Murray, being a student at Wellesley. Two sons are attending the Somerville schools.
