| Caption: | John Murray, c/o The Free Presbyterian Manse, 30 Broadstone Park, Inverness. Born at Badbea 14th October 1898. He served with The Black Watch during the First World War, was wounded and lost his right eye in 1918. Post-war he attended the University of Glasgow, this photo taken at about that time. Following his acceptance as a theological student of the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland he pursued further studies in America at Princeton Theological Seminary, but broke with the Free Presbyterian Church in 1930 over that Church's treatment of the Chesley, Ontario congregation. He taught at Princeton for a year and then lectured in systematic theology at Westminster Theological Seminary to generations of students from 1930 to 1966. Murray preached at Chesley and Lochalsh from time to time until his retirement from Westminster in 1968. He married Valerie Knowlton 7th December 1967 and retired to Scotland where he was connected with the Free Church. He eventually returned to Ross-shire and died on 8th May 1975. |
