Murray Residents,

Start your spring cleaning and set aside the things you no longer want or need.
Have a garage or yard sale and make some cash for your summer fun!
Make your yard signs and do your own advertising.

This is a good time for Scouts, sports teams, and other nonprofits to have car washes, bake sales, rummage sales, etc.  Nonprofit groups, send info for your sale to Editor@MurrayNebraska.com for posting in the Wednesday Newsletters.

Feel free to post the flyer above on your social media outlets, too!


MEMORIAL DAY will SOON be HERE!

These are actually 'HONOR' bricks, for those Veterans still living or deceased, no matter where they are living or where they're laid to rest,  and a beautiful tribute to any Veteran.  The bricks will be placed on a walkway in the military section at Oak Hill Cemetery in Plattsmouth, NE.

  2024 04 17 RED CROSS BLOOD 1

BLOOD SHORTAGE CRISIS

There is a blood-shortage crisis facing each and every one of us.  We never know when we, or a loved one, might suddenly be in the need of blood.  It's time to step up to donate your own blood to someone, anyone, needing this lifesaving gift. Donating is purely an unselfish act, it doesn't cost you a penny, and can save a life. Make this contribution and you'll sleep well knowing that you've given of yourself to improve, or perhaps even save, another person's life.

2023 09 06 KIDS EATING 1

The Conestoga Backpack Program continues to furnish food to local families in need. The program serves the Murray, Nehawka, Union and Beaver Lake areas in southeast Nebraska, and will not turn anyone away.

Just by adding a few of the items listed below to your shopping list and picking them up, you'll be helping someone in a big way. Keep in mind that some of the children are very young and are possibly 'preparing' their own meals, so easy-to-open containers are a good option for little hands.

Canned soup
Granola bars
Fruit snacks
Dry pasta
Spaghetti sauce
Dry soup mixes
Canned meat (chicken, tuna)
Boxed prepared meal kits (Hamburger Helper, Rice-a-Roni)
Peanut butter
Jelly
Canned fruit and vegetables

Single-serve cereals

Also needed are hygienic supplies, toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, cotton swabs, tissues and toilet paper.

To make a monetary donation instead, a check made payable to 'CONESTOGA BACKPACK PROGRAM' may be mailed or deposited at Cornerstone Bank, 102 W Main St, Murray, NE 68409. 100% of all monies collected is used for food and hygienic supplies for the families.

To have the items picked up, call Jill at 402-660-3543 to make arrangements. As another alternative, you may drop them off at Cornerstone Bank in Murray or at their Beaver Lake location.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

2023 11 08 history book 1

Dear Readers,

We want to build an online history about Murray.
Please submit any information you might know about our town to start creating this project.

If you own a business, let us know when you started and any informaton about the building and/or business located there before yours. Do you know the little gray building, CJ's Hair Salon, on Main Street used to be an ice cream shop?  Do you also know that the Murray Christian Church used to be located just east of the Murray Repair Shop?  In the early 1900's Murray's Main Street was devastated by a fire.  Have you heard any information about that time that's been passed down from your ancestors?

You can also send information about your house - when it was built and any background about it. Was it one of the first homes in town? Is it haunted? What do you know about it?  There's a little house in town that used to be the old railroad depot!  Do you know where it is now, or that the old Murray Elementary School's mascot name was the Mustangs?  

Any information would be helpful. Please send photos, too, if available!  Photos should contain people's names and location and any other helpful information.  This should become a fun, educational and informative piece of history that will continue to grow, and one that we're all building together! Thanks for your help!

Email your information to:
Editor@MurrayNebraska.com
