She was born on Feb. 11, 1923, the daughter of Coleman Agor Jr. and Helen Tilford Agor. She was born in the building located on the corner of Myrtle Avenue and Brook Road in Mahopac Falls. This building was built by her great grandfather, Coleman Agor Sr. around 1918. It was the first general store in the area, known as Agor Brothers, operated by Muriel’s father and his brother, Kelsie. This building replaced one that was built earlier which was destroyed by fire.
