Edits

I did some cleanup work on the article. Some minor notes/comments:

The cites could use article titles and authors. I recommend using the {{Cite news}} templates, e.g. {{Cite news |title=Article_title |last=Author's_last_name |first1=Author's_first_name |date=14 December 1921 |work=Natchez Democrat |page=5 |accessdate=17 October 2019 }}
Are there online archives of these sources (not required, just useful)?
The NRHP reference is to the MDAH's application (accepted) for the entire Upriver Residential District, not just the one home. Is the home itself separately registered? It would be good to have a cite directly to the NRHP and the architect and exact date.
Dates should be in a consistent format per MOS:RETAIN, though I would have chosen MDY American dates in this case because of MOS:TIES. Days of the week are unnecessary in cites unless there's something notable/useful/relevant about the source being published on a particular day of the week.

Categorization

I made the edits I did regarding categorization of Murray as a historian, because the notable books described the the article about her are both about the history of Natchez, Mississippi. "As an author, she wrote books about Natchez local history: Early Romances of Historic Natchez and My Mother Used to Say: A Natchez Belle of the Sixties." It does not change the fact that she was a historian of the local area, and per WP:SUBCAT, the most narrow categorization should be retained. Apart from certain exceptions ... an article should be categorised as low down in the category hierarchy as possible, without duplication in parent categories above it. In other words, a page or category should rarely be placed in both a category and a subcategory or parent category (supercategory) of that category (unless the child category is non-diffusing – see below – or eponymous). For example, the article "Paris" need only be placed in "Category:Cities in France", not in both "Category:Cities in France" and "Category:Populated places in France". Because the first category (cities) is in the second category (populated places), readers are already given the information that Paris is a populated place in France by it being a city in France."

Non-diffusing categories are described at WP:DUPCAT, and that section of the guideline describes recipients of notable awards or Subcategories defined by gender, ethnicity, religion, and sexuality should almost always be non-diffusing subcategories.
