From Nevada Representative May 14, 1890

Hon. B. F. Murray, father of the talented Miss Murray whose elocutionary entertainment delighted Nevada people a few weeks since, died Wednesday. "The Boys" of the old Third Iowa Infantry will remember him as their comrade. He was a man of brilliant gifts and in former times distinguished himself in the State Senate; but it is said for the last fourteen years he had been a patient in the hospital at Mount Pleasant. His death was with his family in Winterset.
