![["The indenture is a legal document made between Wm. H. Murray, Mrs. Alice H. Murray, and A.M. Oliphant in Indian Territory. It allows Oliphant to erect a new house on two acres of land owned by the Murrays, with the condition that they may sell the land to Oliphant at double the appraised value after securing the patent. The document also outlines the terms of payment and possession until allotment, with provisions for removal of improvements if the land cannot be allotted. The document is signed and acknowledged by all parties involved."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/William%20H.%20Alfalfa%20Bill%20Murray%20Collection/Personal%20and%20Family%20Records-CAC_CC_041_6_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_041_6_6_36_0000-Real%20Estate%20Papers,%201901-1919/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_041_6_6_36_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Indenture for Land Allotment in the Indian Territory")
![["William Henry Murray was born in Texas and became a lawyer in Oklahoma, where he also served as a Governor. He played a significant role in the drafting of Oklahoma's constitution and was known for his strong leadership and enforcement of tax laws. Murray also served as a Congressman and later founded a colony in Bolivia before returning to Oklahoma and becoming Governor in 1931. During his term, he focused on reducing taxes and state expenditure, and called out the Oklahoma Militia to enforce his orders. His term ended in 1935."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/William%20H.%20Alfalfa%20Bill%20Murray%20Collection/Subject%20and%20Personality%20Materials-CAC_CC_041_1_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_041_1_4_34_0000-T%20Correspondence,%201929-1946/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_041_1_4_34_00013_thumbnail.jpg "The Political Career of William Henry Murray: From Lawyer to Governor")
