John Murphy who died in August of 1929 and who was married to Ellen Tracy was survived by 5 children: Kathryn (now known as Sr, Mary Claude Agnes Murphy, of the Visitation Convent, Dubuque); Marguerite, Los Angelos, CA, Mrs Emmett Wood of Farley, George and Harold Murphy of Farley. He was also survived by 2 sisters - Mrs Louis Breitbach and Mrs Frank Breitbach of Cascade, Ia, 3 brothers - Joe, Farley; Max of Independence, and Patrick of Chicago. He was buried from St Joe's in Farley in the adjoining cemetery.
John's father's name was Michael Murphy and Michael died in 1918 in Farley at age 85. Michael was born in Cty Antrim, Ireland Nov 2, 1833 and came to U S in 1857. In Nov. of 1866 he married Miss Katherine Bell at Dubuque. She died in 1875. In 1879 he married Miss Rose Cunningham at Dubuque. The couple farmed near Farley until 8 years before he died when they moved to Farley. Michael was survived by his widow, Catherine, and 4 sons and 2 daughters - John, Joseph, P.C. of Dubuque, Michael of Dubuque, Mrs Louis Breitbach and Mrs Frank Breitbach of Cascade. Funeral at St. Joe's in Farley.
I believe John was the son of Michael Murphy and Catherine Bell. I have quite a bit more info on this family and would be glad to share it. Please email me direct. Too much to type here.
