Murray passed away on Thursday, January 7th, at age 82.  His father,
Edward Clark, started Clark's Trading Post in 1928.  From the 1950s
onward it was conducted by Ed Clark, Jr., and Murray, then in the
past couple of decades by Murray, with much help from children and
grandchildren in the extended Clark family.  Murray is survived by
his wife Barbara and four children: Nola, Maureen, Murray, and Andrew.

Clark's Trading Post, on Route 3, Lincoln, New Hampshire, has featured
automatic musical instruments for many years.  Among those on view are
Wurlitzer and other band organs, a Tangley CA-43 calliope, Wurlitzer LX
orchestrion, double Mills Violano-Virtuoso, and, throughout the grounds,
various coin-operated pianos.  The Trading Post is open in the summer
and features a steam train ride, trained bear show, museum, and many
other attractions.

Murray, always hospitable and friendly, was a great friend to
collectors of automatic musical instruments, and will be greatly
missed.
