Thomas Patrick Murray (June 10, 1880 – October 1, 1981) was an Ontario lumber merchant and political figure.
Born in Barry's Bay, he held a number of jobs prior to founding a lumber firm in 1902.
[1] He worked as "a wood chopper, lumberjack, railway laborer, farmer, log maker and manufacturing lumberman"[2] prior to establishing his own lumber firm, M & T. Murray, with a mill in Martin's Siding in 1902.
He served on the municipal council for three years, beginning in 1921, before being elected reeve in 1924 of the Sherwood, Jones, and Burns townships that made up the then-unincorporated village of Barry's Bay.
[1] Murray returned to his lumber business following his defeat, but also remained active athletically, playing curling at a regional senior's level.
