Born in Baddeck Forks, Cape Bre­ton, on March 26th, 1925; he was a son of the late David Murray and Catherine Isabel (Buchanan) Garland. Predeceased by his brothers, John and Robert; sisters, Ethel, Isabel, Mabel, and Catherine; son, George, and grand­daughter, Sarah.

After many years on the farm, he moved his family to Hantsport where he worked various jobs. His last job was Minas Basin Pulp and Power where he retired with 28 years ser­vice as a carpenter.
