P01366Lady Mildred Murray (1878-1969) was born and died in London, England. She
was the daughter of Earl Charles A. Murray and Countess Gertrude Murray, also known as
Lord and Lady Dunmore. After her mother experienced a healing while studying
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures in 1894, the family
became devout Christian Scientists who made many trips to Boston, Massachusetts over the
years and met with Mary Baker Eddy. In 1901, at the invitation of Eddy, Lady Mildred,
her parents and her sister Lady Victoria took the Normal class taught by Edward A.
Kimball in the Board of Education of The First Church of Christ, Scientist. They all
joined The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 4, 1898
and, along with her brother Alexander E. Murray, were also made honorary members in
September 1903. She was listed in the directory of
The Christian
Science Journal as a Christian Science practitioner in London from 1900-1904.
In February 1904, along with her parents and sister Lady Victoria, Murray helped
establish the General Association of Teachers, London, England. Murray married Gilbert
B. S. Follet in June 1904. Follett was killed in 1918 while fighting in World War I, and
Murray married John P. M. G. Fitzgerald in 1919. Based on the records available, we have
found no further information concerning her involvement with Christian Science after
that time.
