• Notes

  Murray was born in 1890 in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada. In 1891, Norman Murray Stewart was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada as a young child with his parents and siblings. In 1901, Norman Murray Stewart was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada as a child with his parents and siblings. In 1911, Murray was residing in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada, with his parents and siblings. His niece, Margaret Stewart Ritter, says that Murray "married the daughter of a wealthy editor in Detroit, and went there to live and worked for his father in law. Rumor had it that his life was difficult, with a nagging wife, bossy father-in-law, and no children, although he became wealthy." This story seems based on some truth but the details are not accurate as his marriage record indicates he married Anita Runge in Cleveland, Ohio, USA where he worked for her father in what appears to be a printing company. In 1915, Murray immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, USA. In 1917, Murray was drafted to serve with the American military in WWI. He served until 1918. In 1920, Murray was residing in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA with his wife and her parents, Gustave and Alvena Runge. He was employed as an assistant manager in the Runge family business, Bingham and Runge Printer Rollers. In 1930, Murray was residing in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA with his wife and her parents, Gustave and Alvena Runge. He was employed as a treasurer in a printer rollers complany. Murray and Anita had no children. In 1940, Murray's wife was residing in Cleveland, Cuyahoga, Ohio, USA, with her parents but without Murray. She was still going by Anita Stewart. In 1944, Murray is listed as living back in Hamilton, Wentworth, Ontario, Canada at the time of his mother's death. Murray died 29 Jan 1946 Toronto, York, Ontario, Canada from coronory thrombosis. He was employed as a salesman at the time and lists Anita as his wife, though there is no indication that she was living with him as American census records show her still resising in Cleveland in 1940 and 1950. He was buried from Bates and Dodds Funeral Home, owned by his distant cousin, William James Stewart. Anita Stewart died in 1975 in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. Evidence would suggest that Murray abandoned his wife sometime between 1930-1940 and returned to Canada without her.
