<p>From 1856-1859, Murray studied at the Musical Institute in North Reading, Massachusetts, under <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_a_mason_l.html" >Lowell Mason</a>, <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_r_o_root_gf.html" >George Root</a>, <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_b_r_bradbury_wb.html" >William Bradbury</a>, and <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_w_e_webb_gj.html" >George Webb</a>. In 1862, in the midst of the American civil war, Murray enlisted as an Army musician. His first song, “Daisy Deane,” was composed in a Virginia camp in 1863. After the war, he returned home to teach piano, but soon joined the Root & Cady publishing house in Chicago, Illinois, as editor of <em>The Song Messenger</em>. He stayed with Root & Cady until the great Chicago fire of 1871, when he returned to Andover and resumed work as a music teacher. In 1881, Murray moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to work for the John Church Company, editing <em>The Musical Visitor</em>, and taking charge of the publishing department.</p>
