THOMAS T. MURRAY.
 



	A highly respected and esteemed citizen  of Saskatoon is Thomas T.
Murray, superintendent  of the Saskatoon Municipal Hospital.  He was
born at Helensburgh, Scotland, on the 7th of September, 1891, a son of
Samuel P. and Mary Graham (Thompson) Murray, likewise natives of
Scotland.  For forty years Mr. S. P. Murray has been active as water-
works inspector in his native country and he is a prominent and highly
respected citizen of the community in which he resides.
	The public schools of Helensburgh, Scotland, afforded Thomas T.
Murray his education and after putting his textbooks aside he worked in
the surveyor's office for four years. In 1911 he came to Canada and locat-
ed in Saskatoon, entering the city's employ in the auditor's office. He was
likewise employed in the cashier's office and was with the street railway
when the Great war broke out. He immediately put all personal interests
aside and volunteered his services. He enlisted and went overseas with
the Canadian Army Medical Corps and subsequently was transferred to
the Eighth London Regiment and was promoted to a lieutenancy, and
for sixteen months he saw active service in France and Belgium. He
was transferred to the flying corps, or the Royal Air Forces, and returned
to Canada in July, 1919. On the 1st of August, 1919, he was placed in
charge of the City Hospital at Saskatoon. He has indeed proven to be
the right man for the place and the hospital training he received while
overseas is invaluable to him.
	On the 29th of June, 1929, Mr. Murray was married to Miss Minnie
Miscampbell, a native of Ontario and a daughter of Andrew Miscampbell,
also a native of Ontario, and one of the foremost agriculturists in that
province until his death in 1893.  Mrs. Miscampbell resides with her
daughter, Mrs. Murray.  Mrs. Murray is a graduate nurse, having re-
ceived her diploma from the Saskatoon Hospital in 1918. Mr. and Mrs.
Murray have one child: Jean Mary, whose birth occurred on the 10th of
September, 1922.
	Since attaining his majority Mr. Murray has given his political alle-
giance to the Liberal party. He has never sought nor desired political
preferment, but is essentially public-spirited and is willing at all times
~ cooperate in worthy projects for the upbuilding of Saskatoon.  His
religious faith is that of the Presbyterian church, in which he is a zealous
worker, being a member of and an elder in St. Thomas Presbyterian
church of Saskatoon, and was president of its Young Peoples Society
for five years.  Fraternally Mr. Murray is identified with the Masons
and he is readily conceded to be an exemplary member of the craft. For
recreation he turns to outdoor sports and he is particularly fond of play-
ing tennis.
