1840. When he was thirteen years
of age his parents came to this
country and settled at Fall River,
Mass., where he remained until 1860
when he went to northern Michigan,
where he resided until the spring of
1878 when he came to this county
and settled on a farm four miles
northeast of this city. He was one
of the pioneer settlers that formed
what was known for years as the
Michigan settlement northeast of
this city. He was united in marriage
at Hancock, Michigan, to Mrs. Brid
get Murphy in 1868. To this union
four children were born three of
whom are living to mourn the death
of a kind and loving father. The
children are: Con *G. Murphy, of
Grants Pass, Oregon; Mrs. Louie
Storm, of Gregory, S. D., and Mrs.
T. J. Enright of this city, all of whom
were at his bedside when he passed
away. There is also one step-son,
Felix Murphy, who resides in Oregon.
Mr. Murphy always enjoye'd good
health, never having a severe sick
ness until 4taken with what proved to
be his fatal illness some four weeks
ago. He did not suffer any pain
and enjoyed visiting with those who
called to see him. He retained all
his faculties to the last.
Deceased was well known and
admired by a large circle of old
lived here for forty years, with the
friends and acquaintances. Having
exception of about four years, which
he spent in Montana, he was widely
known to all the pioneers of the
county, and there will be genuine sor
row in their ranks when they learn
of his passing. He was a kind and
indulgent father, a good citizen and a
true and loyal friend.
The Frontier joins the many friends
of the family in tendering them its
condolence in their hour of sorrow.
