Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:
Wallace Pierce MURRY was b. 20 Oct 1896 in Chicago, IL to Wilson R. MURRAY (1869-1961) and Myrtle Allice or Alice PIERCE (1874-1966) who were married 5 Oct 1895 in Wheeler, SD. Wallace married Clara Louise LUNN (1899-1989) and they had two children including Gene Louis or Lewis MURRAY (1921-2012) and Robert Allen MURRAY (1929-1997). Wallace died in 1953 and is buried in the Craig Cemetery in Craig, NE.
His mother Myrtle was b. 8 May 1874 in Plainview, MN to parents Hiram “Hy” Ira PIERCE (1847-1938, born in Wisconsin) and Sarah Kathryn or Katherine “Kate” JOLLY (1843-1934, born in Ohio). Myrtle was one of four children born to this couple including Myrtle Allice or Alice; Earl Edwin or Elwin; Katherine “Kate” or “Kittie” or “Katie” Ethlyn; and Hugh Clarence PIERCE, all born between 1874 and 1884. Myrtle and her husband Wilson MURRAY were living in Chicago, IL during the 1900 census. Myrtle died 1 or 15 Sept 1966 in Craig or Oakland, NE and is buried in the same Craig Cemetery in Craig, NE.
I’d like to get the photograph to a family member and would appreciate you contacting me at your earliest convenience regarding the photograph and this family.

Lizzie was one of 6 children born to this couple including Nellie Helen; Mary; Rose Agnes; Elizabeth Josephine; Margaret “Maggie” T.; and Annie T. MURRAY, all born between 1857 and 1872. It appears that she married more than once including to Ernest Albert SCALES (1871-1947) on 10 Jul 1906 in Manchester, NH and then to Mr. MCAFEE after her husband’s death. Elizabeth died 21 Jul 1959 in Manchester, NH.
I would love to get the photograph back to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
