Dear Dorothy Thank you for your note! I know exactly which house you are talking about in Dundas. My dad amd mom both told me that the bricks for the house were made on the property too. Dad knows we are related to the Murdochs but never was too sure how until I started doing my genealogy. I know of one Murdoch who moved to Muskingum county - he was once the County Superintendent of Schools when I was teaching down there. Unfortunately at the time, I did not know we were related, nor did I know he was from Vinton Co. I am hoping that posting all these obits will trigger some new finds, help others and perhaps get everyone to share at least 1 obit! Just think how busy this list would be! Thank you again for writing! I appreciate it!
