There is a tree that has her birth as 7 May 1897 Avondale N S
Father George Evans Murray
Mother Jane Grant

You could check 1901 Census Pictou   Nova Scotia
Gabriel E Murray age 33 born England ..farmer
Janie Murray age 33 born N S
Olive R Murray age 3 born NS 7 May 1897
Other family members listed
1911 Census looks like the same family under the name of Evens same district

Might be worth checking out

A tree also has her married to James Lyttleton Wood

Thanks Rosie.

So it’s Olive Ruth Murray rather than Ruth Olive.

Yes with that family George could have been mistranscribed as Gabriel.

She married in 1916, so a birth in 1897 fits ok.

Does that tree have a marriage for Olive?

Thanks again.

Can anyone make out the cause of death and manner of injury please.  I can make out "struck by train" but struggling with the rest.

[rosie17]

Looks like fractured skull not sure of the rest but struck by train ..Maybe someone else might be able to help can make out ??  In which he was riding struck by train

Must have been a mention in Newspaper as it gives his age 56 years according to newspaper

Thanks Rosie.  The more I look at it now it looks like fractured scull.

There’s quite a few searchable old newspapers from Nova Scotia but I’m yet to find one that mentions the accident.

I’ll keep looking as it would be interesting to find.

Coming somewhat late to this but the report appears to say "Truck in which he was riding struck by a train" and it appears from the comment at the end about the location that this took place on a rail road crossing. I agree about the fractured skull!
