and contains a lot of material about John Murray Murdoch and
his family that has never been published before. It will be
a great addition to the Murdoch library of books.

MEMORIAL PROGRAM TO HONOR WEE GRANNY ON
JUNE 23, 2006
The James
and Mary Murray Murdoch family officers
are planning a memorial service at the
LDS Chapel in Scottsbluff on June 23,
2006, starting at 7:30 PM. This year is
the 150th year since her death on Oct.
2, 1856 near Chimney Rock as a member of
the Martin Handcart Company. One of the
special items that will be included in
the program is the dedication of a high
way marker that has been placed 9 miles
east of Chimney Rock on Highway
26. The marker honors the hand cart
pioneers that passed through this area
and uses the story of Wee Granny as an
example of all of them. It represents a
real tribute to her memory. All of her
descendents are invited to attend.
