“Gr<strong>and</strong>ma Murray moved into the big house with us a while after Gr<strong>and</strong>pa died,” says Beth (Davis) McClary. “She had a room<br />
for herself where the library is now <strong>and</strong> her kitchen was where my bathroom is. She would only come into the other side of the house<br />
when you forced her to. She loved to have us visit her but I think she didn’t want to be in the way. As if that gentle women could be in<br />
anybodies’ way.” Gr<strong>and</strong>ma Murray had three brothers, Herman, Charles <strong>and</strong> Oliver, <strong>and</strong> one sister Tressa. Herman Litschgi is the only<br />
one to have children. He had one son, Herman <strong>and</strong> he lives in Evansville <strong>and</strong> has two daughters, Mindy age 24 <strong>and</strong> Edie age 21.<br />
Gr<strong>and</strong>ma Murray’s father, Conrad Litschgi, was born in 1841 in Germany. He died in Evansville, Ind. Her mother was the former<br />
Bertha Bilger. Bertha Bilger was born in 1854 in Germany. She died in 1923 in Evnasville, Ind. Conrad was married once before he<br />
married Bertha <strong>and</strong> had four children <strong>by</strong> his first wife.<br />
Bertha had at least two sisters, Ida <strong>and</strong> Lena, <strong>and</strong> one brother, Charles. Charles Bilger was a priest. He was in the seminary in<br />
Germany in 1870 <strong>and</strong> entered the seminary in America when his family moved to America. He served most of his years in the priesthood<br />
in Indiana.
