Obituary -- Mrs. Annie Murray [Nora Anna Fallon]

Mrs. Annie Murray, wife of Martin Murray, passed away Tuesday morning, shortly before 6 o'clock, at the family home on Montvale Ave., aged 60 years. Heart failure caused her decease. Her death was unexpected, although she had been in rather poor health for the past few weeks. Mrs. Murray had been a resident of this town for many years past, coming to this country at an early age. She was well known and respected, and a large circle of friends mourn her decease.

Besides the bereaved husband who loses a faithful wife and the companion of a lifetime, five children are left to mourn their great loss. They are Mrs. Holland of Dorchester, James and Patrick J. of this town, Mrs. Hatch of Dorchester and Miss Nellie of this town.

Funeral services for the deceased were held Thursday morning, solemn high mass of requiem being celebrated at St. Patrick's church. The interment was made at St. Patrick's cemetery on Elm Street. There were many floral tributes.

KILDUFF - MURRAY

All white Madonna lilies against which were placed tall, golden vases of deep pink snapdragon, decorated the beautiful candlelighted altar of St. Clement's Church, Somerville, last Saturday morning for the ten o'clock nuptials of Miss Helen Agnes Murray, daughter of Mrs. Mary Murray of 47 Rogers Avenue, Somerville and Lawrence Richard Kilduff, the son of Mrs. Catherine T. Kilduff of 12 North Warren Street, Woburn.

A large number of Woburn residents journeyed to Somerville for the lovely holiday morning ceremony and later attended the subsequent wedding reception and breakfast at the Hotel Copley Plaza, Boston.

Miss H. McGlynn was the organist for the nuptials and Miss Alice Goodhue was the wedding soloist, rendering Schubert's "Ave Maria," "Panis Angelicus" by Caesar Franck, "O Lord, I Am Not Worthy," and "On This Day O Beautiful Mother," during the Nuptial Mass.

Four ushers assisted in the guest seating, Mr. Edward Boyle of Woburn and Messrs, John W., William H. and Joseph Murray, brothers of the bride, of Somerville. Upon the arrival of the bride shortly after the ten o'clock hour, they led the processional followed by Miss Mary Virginia Murray, a sister of the bride, of Somerville, as maid of honor, and the charming bride who was escorted by her brother Mr. James J. Murray of Somerville, followed to be met at the Sanctuary by the bridegroom and his best man, Mr. David Roche of Woburn.

Monsignor Robert Barry read the marriage service and was also celebrant at the Nuptial Mass which followed.

Miss Murray chose a portrait wedding gown in lustrous white satin, full skirted which cascaded into a long train and her simply draped veil of matching bridal illusion billowed over the train of her dress. Her round formal bouquet of bride's roses was centered with orchids.

Her sister as her only attendant carried an arm bouquet of talisman roses, as she rustled faintly [sic.] down the church aisle in a gown of dusty pink taffeta, made with a smooth, small bodice and full, draped skirt. Her hat and accessories were in the same becoming shade.

Mr. and Mrs. Kilduff will honeymoon in New York City and Washington, D.C., and upon their return they will live in Woburn.

The bride, a Boston secretary, is a graduate of the Chandler Normal School. Mr. Kilduff who was educated in Woburn schools, was graduated from Woburn High School with the class of 1931. He is employed by the Financial Transportation Company of Boston.
