At the beginning of the oil strikes he returned to Bradford, where he purchased another farm, and also engaged in the production of oil.

This ancient family which MURPHY from its original home in the Green Isle has sent many of its members to render valuable assistance in the development of our industries, is repre- sented in Custer City, Pennsylvania, by Tim- othy B. Murphy, one of the most progressive and prosperous business men of that com- munity. The history of Mr. Murphy's family is traced through the following generations :

(I) Timothy Murphy, born in county Cork, Ireland, where he passed his entire life as a farmer. He married - - Callahan, a native of Fernoy, county Cork, and two children were born to them : Patrick, of whom further ; Mar- garet, born in 1829, married Patrick Golden, like herself a native of county Cork, and emi- grated to the United States, where her husband found employment at railroad work. Two of their six children Daniel and Ellen -, are notv living in St. Paul, Minnesota. Mr. and Mrs. Golden, both of whom are de- ceased, were members of the Roman Catholic church. Timothy Murphy and his wife were of the same communion, and died at Fernoy, county Cork, Ireland.

(II) Patrick, son of Timothy and

(Callalian) Murphy, was born in 1827, in Ire- land. He lived for a time in Wales, and in 1861 emigrated to the United States, settling in Wilcox, Elk county, Pennsylvania, where he was employed by different railroads, help- ing to build the Erie branch from Carlton to Mount Alton. In 1867 he recrossed the ocean (his wife having died the year before in Ire- land) and returned with his two sons. He afterward went to Minnesota, still working as a railroad employe, and subsequently removed to Custer City, where he lived for twenty years. He was a Democrat, and a member of the Roman Catholic church. He married, in Ireland, Margaret Barry, born in 1828, in county Cork, where both her parents were born and died. Mr. and Mrs. Murphy were the parents of two sons : Timothy B., of whom further ; James, born in 1864, in Wales, died on Ward's Island, New York, having contract- ed a fever on shipboard while his father was bringing him to this country. The mother of these two sons died in 1866 in Ireland. Like her husband she was a member of the Roman

Catholic church. Mr. Murphy married (sec- ond) Mrs. Mary Wall, by whom he had no children. He died May 16, 1897, at Big Shanty, Pennsylvania, where he had at one time lived.

(III) Timothy B., son of Patrick and Mar- garet (Barry) Murphy, was born April 8, 1862, in Wales, where his parents lived for several years, his father being employed as a coke manufacturer of Wilcox, Pennsylvania. Timothy B. Murphy obtained his education in the public schools, the father and son lived in varions places until the former married a sec- ond time. Timothy B. Murphy was then thrown on his own resources and accordingly found employment at the oil business to which, with commendable pluck and perseverance, he steadily adhered, gaining as the years went by not pecuniary profit alone, but much val- uable experience, and building up a reputation for ability and integrity which laid the foun- dation of his success. He came to Custer City when that place was in its infancy and was called Shep's Crossing, and as the result of a long period of wisely directed enterprise is now, as an oil producer, at the head of a large and lucrative business. In addition to this he has interests of considerable magnitude in the Pennsylvania Mutual and the Metropolitan Insurance companies. In politics Mr. Murphy is an Independent, holding himself aloof from partisanship, but giving his vote and influence to the man whom he deems best fitted for the office. Like his ancestors he is a member of the Roman Catholic church.

Mr. Murphy married, January 19, 1898, Ellen C. Sullivan (see Sullivan III), and they are the parents of two children : Frederic, born October 15, 1901 ; Helen, born August 7, 1902. Both were born in Bradford and attended school in Custer City.
