John and Elizabeth Murphy


































In the 1880 U.S. Census, John Murphy was residing in Sandusky, Erie County, Ohio. He was age 46, and he was a native of Ireland. His wife, Lizzie, was 44 years of age, and they had three children:  Ellen, Peter and Sallie. John was employed at a handle factory. Mrs. Elizabeth/Lizzie Murphy died in 1890. At the time of his death, in November of 1907, John Murphy had moved to Chicago, Illinois. After his death, his remains were returned to Sandusky, Ohio for burial at the St. Joseph Cemetery.  This lovely monument, created by Conrad Keim, was erected by Mrs. Nellie Seger in honor of her parents.
