History
John Alexander Murray (1852-1934) was a blacksmith who had a forge in St. Eleanors, Prince Edward Island, for many years. His parents Richard Murray (1819-1898) and Elizabeth A. Jeffery (1824-1908) had a farm near Linkletter Road and were founding members in 1858 of the Summerside Church of Christ. In 1877 John married Amelia F. Ling (1852-1934) of New Glasgow, PEI and they had eight children. Two sons moved to the United States, William as an accountant and Verner as a minister in the Church of Christ. The third son John Melvin Murray (1882-1965) went into business with his father in approximately 1907 and around 1914 married Belle Elizabeth Mellish (1883-1981) of Montague. One of Melvin's five sisters was Margaret Ling Murray (1886-1972) who married Frank Austin Linkletter (1883-1979).
