BBC Scotland Story

Murray Hall was born in Glasgow and lived a lot of his life in NYC where he was a politician, a bail bondsman and many other things.
The only problem was that Murray was female and lived for 60 years as a man until his death from cancer in 1901.

What a great story.

Sad!

Poor Murray, was buried in women's clothes. Had he not died, something he would not have been caught dead wearing.
