Herman McDaniel did much of the online research and assembled the materials collected to create this new section of the museum. Bobby Mosteller enlisted the help of his coffee buddies. Robert Green found graves for several of the dead soldiers, a surprising number have tombstones in Murray County. The following assisted greatly in the research effort: Pat Ausmus Anne Brindle Emily Cogburn Diane Davis "Miss Mary" Dill Robert Green Tim Howard William Leonard Carolyn Luffman Bobby Mosteller and Marcelle White. We continue searching for reliable information about Ben Moore, Jr. This project only succeeded because of the dedication and determined efforts of about a hundred individuals who assisted the museum's endeavor to collect and record history that should have been saved in the 1940s and 50s.Īlthough the monument on the courthouse lawn contains a listing of Murray County's war dead, including the names of those who made the supreme sacrifice in World War II, it appears that nobody bothered to collect and record the faces and facts belonging with those names.Ībout a dozen people interested in local history recently joined together, working to identify people who might know details about these dead men.
