Margaret Murdock and her Daughters
Margaret Molen Murdock died in Lehi, Utah on 29 Jan 1864. Her daughters, Margaret and Lurany died within a few years of her death. All are buried together in the Lehi City Cemetery.
Their marker was broken off over time and was repaired by setting the broken stone in a concrete form.
Information update from John Lisle: Margaret was married to Orrice Clapp Murdock, a descendant of the Robert Murdock and Hannah Stedman family of Newton, Massachusetts. His father was John Murdock, b. 1792. John arrived from Nauvoo in SLC in 1847."
