Representative George H. Cooper

MR. A>D MBS. M. B. MTRFHY DEAD
"Our Father who art the Mighty
Maker and do er oi all good things"
came and called from our midst on
Dec. 26th, 1922 one of our neighbors,
Mr. W. B. Murphy. - He had been
sick only a few days with influenza
when pneumonia set in and death fol
lowed quickly.
He was fifty-four years of age, and
a devoted ^nd faithful member of San.
dy Creek* Baptist church, who, was al
ways willing to do whatsoeVer he
thought bis duty, ever anxious and
itady to serve his Master. He was
also a well known farmer and a great
believer In education. Mr Murphy
attained considerable ' prominenc?
through his honesty and kindness.
Therefore the news of his death cast
a sad gloom over the entire commun
ity. In his death we feel that we
have lost a very dear friend and in
deed all who knew him caniyt fall to
regret one who was so amiable and
unselfish.
Yet only one hope can comfort us
in these sad hours the hope tnat some
where in the "Many Mansions" of our
"Father's house" the one we loved so
well and miss so much are there, wait
ing to meet and greet those whom he
left behind.
The body was tenderly laid to rest
in a concrete tomb in the family bury
ing ground at the old Murphy place,
on ^Thursday afternoon in the pres
ence of a company of sorrowing
friends and relatives.
Surviving the deceased are his two
sonB, Gray Bird and Ollle Jack Mur
phy, four brothers Mr. J. G. Murphy,
A. D. Murphy, D. N. Murphy and J.
T. Murphy, three sisters Mrs. L. L.
Gupton, Mrs. D. E. Aycocke and Mrs,
W. S, Brewer.

B. Murphy, God saw fit to take from
this world the wife and mother of
the home, Mrs. Lucy A. Murphy.
This made home more sad and louely.
Just why they were both snatched
away so suddenly we cannot under

In humble submission to tne Divine
will, assured that these chastenlngs
of sickness and .death are not sent in
anger but are proofs of a loving Fa

sea and His fooffeteps are in the deep
waters." He causeth all things to
work together for good to those who
put their trust in Him.
Mrs . Murphy was thedaughter of
late deceased Weldon Stallinga and
Harriet Stalllngs. In her youth she
professed faith in Christ and Joined
Red Bud church. Later she Joined
White Level Baptist church of which
she was a loyal and faithful member
and did her duty as an humble Chris
tian until her death. She was a lov

neighbor always willing to lend a help

She is gone but not forgotten.. .
She leaves to mourn their loss two
children, G. B. Murphy and O. J.

number of friends and relatives . The
remains were taken tc the burying
