Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal 10-3-1910
Waveland, Oct 3 -- This morning at ten o'clock the spirit of David William
McMURTRIE passed from his body and the sojourn of a good man on
this earth ended. Mr. McMurtrie had been ill for several months
of a complication of diseases and his condition has been serious
since last Thursday. He was born March 16, 1826 near Marsha,,
Parke County. On Nov 1, 1858 he was married to Martha COOPER and
she with six children survive him. The children are Mary of
Waveland; Mrs Margaret Noel of Rockville; Sophronia of Owatonna
MN; William of Mexico, MO; Prof IG McMurtrie of Al Canto, TX and
Clarence of Marshall. One brother, John McMurtrie of Marshall is
also living. Mr. M. was a lifelong member of the Presbyterian
Church and for many years an elder in that denomination. He lived
the life of a complacent Christian and his life was an open book
known and responded to all men. The time for the funeral has not
yet been made. - typed by kbz
