Murdock assisted more emigrants across the plains than any other man. In the spring of 1864 he was ordained a bishop and sent to preside over the Beaver ward. For 13 years he acted in this call ing, when in 1877 he was made president of the Beaver stake. For 14 years he acted as president when in 1892 he surprised the people and the church authorities by asking for his release. As a citizen he served eight days. From the President of the ten United States a very important message for Governor Cummings or General Johnson to be delivered to Brigham Young, was carried by the group. Upon arrival at Fort Bridger it was deem ed adviseable to send the message on ahead. Murdock was chosen as the rider to make the last 115 miles. In 24 hours the message was in the hands of Brigham Young. Murdock says," I rode the same horse, Painter, that I had ridden the entire trip to Omaha and back." In 1868, four years after moving to Beaver, he received a call to make his last trip across the plains for emigrants. The railroad was nearing the valleys and the loading was at Laramie. Speak " I had ing of this trip he says, train. Fifty of 75 wagons in my them belonged to the church and 25 were privately owned conveyances.

His crops failed, and it wasn't long before Ed'a home and furnishings were up for auetion. Half the town turned out, and Ed must have thought his neighbors were a bunch of hungry vultures buying up all his precious possessions for a song. When it was over, and the auctioneer had left, Sam Abernathy tarns to the crowd and says: "All right, folks, let's take time out for a glass of beer, and then put this stuff back where it belongs!" Two hours later, Ed was in possession of his home and furnishings ; and the folks who'd paid for them were sitting around Ed's fire enjoying a neighborly glass of ber to show their friendship awf their confidence in Ed. Today, Ed's back on his feet another constructive member of the community.
