NASSAU COUNTY PHONE BOOKS The following is a complete compilation of Billy Murray's listings in the Nassau County telephone books, published by the New York Telephone Company. It is interesting that the phone books list him as "Billy," rather than under his real name of "William." They also suggest when Murray first moved to Freeport, and although it is odd that he disappeared from 1935 to 1937, they also show that he lived at the same residence until his death in 1954. It's been said that Murray never forgot anyone's phone number (his nephew Frank M. Hickey, Sr., also inherited that trait). His numbers are fairly easy to remember, considering that they use the same three digits fairly consistently: 578. These listings are arranged by date, followed by the page number, and Murray's listing transcribed exactly as it appears.
