BiographyCLEON BOICE MURRAY

Rejected by the examining surgeons of the United States Army, because of being underweight, when he volunteered for service upon the entry of this country into the World War, Cleon Boice

Page 381

Murray, of Ellenville, New York, has since shown that successful accomplishment is not a matter of avoirdupois. Twice he was before the board of examining surgeons, the second time drafted, and twice he was too light to be a soldier. So he went to work at his profession of the law, in which he had made a conspicuous success. Although not a native of this State, he has made it his home for so long that he has come to be regarded as such. His private practice keeps him busy, while his duties as counsel for various commercial organizations have brought him into prominence. Aside from professional interest, he takes a deep pride in the civic welfare of the community and a large share in fraternal affiliations. With room always at the top, Cleon B. Murray, by hard and conscientious work, seems destined to climb there.

He was born in Proctor, Pennsylvania, June 25, 1890, a son of Dayton and Myra (Boice) Murray. The elder Murray was secretary of the Rondout Savings Bank, of Kingston, and served as city clerk under Mayor Crane. His wife, the mother of Cleon, was a daughter of Peter and Ruhamah J. Weeks, of Kingston, a graduate of Whitestown Seminary. The Murray family is of Scotch origin, its earlier members coming to Vermont, Herkimer County, New York, and New Jersey, prior to the War of Revolution, in which conflict a number of them fought for American independence with the army of Washington.

Cleon Boice Murray received his education at Kingston Academy, from which he was graduated in 1908, and at Cornell University, where he took the course in law and received his degree of Doctor of Laws upon graduating in 1913. He came to Ellenville in 1915, establishing himself in practice, already having studied in the offices of Cunningham & Traver, in Ellenville and Kingston. Since 1921 he has been assistant district attorney of Ulster County, and is attorney for the Standard Oil Company of New York, and the New York Telephone Company. He served one term as Police Justice of Ellenville, resigning, and, since 1917, has been corporation counsel of the town. He is a Republican in politics and attends the Baptist Church. He is Past Master of Warwarsing Lodge, No. 582, Free and Accepted Masons, and Past High Priest of Chapter No. 246, Royal Arch Masons. He also is affiliated with Cyprus Temple, of Albany, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, and with Kingston Lodge, No. 550, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He belongs to the Kingston Club, to the Shawangunk Country Club, of Ellenville, and to the Cornell University Club of New York.

Mr. Murray married, at Ellenville, October 12, 1927, Katherine R. Houghton, daughter of Joseph T. Houghton, deceased, of Bayone, New Jersey, and of Anita (Raphael) Houghton.1
