He was born on April 24, 1932 to Arthur (Boston) and Myrtle (Astrope) Murray in Culbertson. He attended grade school at Flat Center Country School just two miles north of their home, fourteen miles west of Homestead. They moved to Medicine Lake, Mt.

so he could attend High School. He graduated Valedictorian of his class in 1950. Due to his father’s illness, he stayed home to help with the farming, and lived there the rest of his life.

He married his high school sweetheart, Imojean Lyson on March 20, 1954. They made their home on the farm for the next 64 years. David took great pride in his farming and ranching.

Being self taught on everything he never found anything that was too big a challenge. He added a bathroom onto his Mother’s house when he was 18 years old. It was probably one of the first sunken bathrooms in the country.

It turned out fine except the floor was about an inch and a half lower than the adjoining room. He loved bowling, camping and traveling, but his hobby was probably work. He was by nature a quiet man and a very hard worker.

He especially enjoyed following his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in all of their sporting activities.
