A president of the United States, Canada's most noted author on fishing northern waters, two Justices of the US Supreme Court, an important Canadian historian known as the authority of Canadian-American relations, a Montreal philanthropist, motivated by the death of his daughter due to childhood leukemia, to finance research which led to a cure, a Scottish minister with sailing in his blood — all called the Murray Bay Protestant Church their summer place of worship. Rose Tiffany summered frequently in Murray Bay — note the stained glass windows crafted by that pre-eminent firm at the back of the church and shown at right. They were given in memory of Beach Jones. Noted architect Phelps Stokes also summered at Murray Bay and he married Edith Minturn. Edith was a descendent of Susannah Shaw Minturn whose home was next to the church and who was the first American woman to settle in Murray Bay, whose home was next to the church, also summered at Murray Bay.
