Murray City was a huge coal mine boom town from 1873-1930. Many people from Hungary, Poland, Germany, England and Ireland mined coal in Murray City in 1900. I have compiled several books about Murray City and have lots and lots of pictures. The books have info Such as Murray City Cemetery Transcriptions, Salem Hollow Cemetery Transcriptions, Obituaries and Related Genealogies, Murray City Coal Mine Rent book, Descendants of Emily Allen Skinner Spurgeon, List of Soldiers of WWI, WWII, and much more historical info. I have copies of the Murray City Merchant's Directory 1907, Murray City 1900 Census, 1924, 1947, 1957 and 1960 Murray City yearbooks. Also did you know there is a video about Murray City? At the end of the video is some actual footage of the 1930's showing coal miners coming out of the mines, and children coming out of the schools, and also the Main street of town. Please e-mail me if any of this information is of interest to you! We are trying to start a historical society and restore the train depot there.
