James Murphy [1816-1894]
Mr. James Murphy, whose death we mentioned last week as among the earlier residents of the county, having come here in 1861 and settled on a farm in Douglass township where he lived until he moved to town about a year ago. Though not very strong he was quite for one of his age and down town every day until he was stricken with pneumonia a week before his death which occurred on the evening of January 15, 1894.
Mr. Murphy's father was a member of the English army and wounded at the great battle of Waterloo, which occured in June 1815. His mother went there to take care of her husband and they remained in that region for several years, where the subject of this sketch was born June 11, 1816.
When he was six years of age his parents came to America, first living in Quebec, and coming to Wisconsin in 1843. He and the aged lady who survives him were married more than fifty one years ago. Seven sons and six daughters were born to them and all of them grew to maturity except one son. The others are all living now except one daughter, Mrs. Will Hilton, who died in Dakota several years ago. Two of them live in California, three in Dakota and the other in this county.
Had Mr. Murphy lived till June he would have reached the age of 78 years. The funeral services took place at his late residence at 10 o'clock Thursday morning and were conducted by Rev. E. J. Lockwood, of the M. E. church. The burial took place in the family lot in the Brownville Cemetery.
