William King Murray ’29 *30

Body

King died Nov. 3, 1997, after some years in a nursing home.

He prepared for college at Flushing H.S. At Princeton he roomed with Harry Luderbough. His engineering career was largely at the New England Electric Systems and its subsidiary companies. In 1969 he shifted from their electric to their gas operations.

During the war King was in OSRD at the MIT Radiation Lab. He was very active in the Trinity Episcopal Church of Melrose, where he was a warden. In 1936 King married Helen A. Reynolds. The survivors include brothers Edward M. '34 and John N. and daughters Louise M. French, Katherine M. Sodergen, and Anne M. Heinz. The class extends sincere sympathy to King's family.
