Although he never became an American citizen, he became influential in Los Angeles, where he owned a prosperous bakery concern.

In pre-Truce Days he was also visited by Father Flanagan, Mr. P. J. Fleming and others in the national struggle at home. The Taoiseach, Mr. de Valera, tollowing the gave full allegiance following the Treaty, was also a visitor at his home. Mr. S. T. O'Kelly, An Tanaiste, and Mr. F.

Mr. Daly Clarke, son of Mrs. Tom Clarke, spent from 1921 to 1926 at his home, and Mrs. Mellows visited there in 1925. Mr. Murray also befriended Fr. Albert when at Santa Barbara, Fr. was with him when he was dying. He was one of the biggest subscribers in the States for arms for the struggle at home, and to funds for the relief of people in need, due to the War of Independence. Unmarried, his last visit to Ireland was on the occasion of the International Eucharistic Congress in 1932. His 89 years old father, Mr. John Murray, 310 Howth Road, Dublin, who spent about 50 years in California, has received the following telegram from Mr. de Valera: "I have heard with deep regret of Mr. Murray. Sincerest sympathy." Mr. Murray has also received from Mr. Sean T. O'Kelly, An Tanaiste, the following telegram: "Shocked at news of Peter's death. Offer the sincerest sympathy to you and all the family." A telegram was received from Mr. George Murray (brother), living in California, stating that Most Rev. J. Cantwell, D.D., Archbishop of Los Angeles, was attending the obsequies.
