Notes for JOHN R. MURPHY:

He had a bad arm which he called his "lady's arm," but was still noted for his exceptional strength and would readily except the challenge to it. He was short, but had a muscular build. John R. built a home on Turkhill Rd. on land given him by his father. He probably also farmed this land. His daughter Katharine of his first wife Catherine Patton was raised by in-laws in Michigan. In 1904, John R. visited his daughter, Katharine, in Michigan for the first time.
