PATRICK J. MURPHY, the well- known hotel keeper, of Mckeesport, Pa., is a native of Mifflin township, Allegheny Co., Pa., where he was born in the year 1859. All the schooling he ever received was during the three years when he was from six to nine years of age. When he was nine years old he went to work for I. D. Risher, in what is known as the old Montooth mines, and between that time and his twenty-fifth birthday he filled every position about the mines, both
below and above ground. During these years Mr. Murphy lived the strenuous life, being several times arrested for taking the part of his fellow workmen in the mines, which finally forced him to give up the business and seek a more congenial occupation. His mother died in 1874, while the family were living at Fort Pitt, Pa., and his father was killed in the fatal Camp Hill cut in 1875. This left him at the age of six- teen without the sympathy and advice of his parents, and since that time he has fought the battle of life in his own way unassisted. When he was barely twenty-one he was elected to the office of con- stable, and was re-elected annually for fifteen years. Three years after his first election to this office he opened a private detective agency in the city of Pittsburg, which he conducted successfully until 1895. In 1893 he started a restaurant and liquor store in Mckeesport, which he managed until 1898, when he opened his present place of entertainment at Nos. 212 and 214 Smithfield St. Mr. Murphy is a republican in politics, and his party fealty is of the kind that never wavers. He was elected in 1901 to the McKees- port common council from the fourth ward, and was re-elected in February, 1903. He was married, in 1878, to Miss Gertrude K. Meyers, of Coultersville, Pa., and they have had seven children. Five of their children-Elizabeth, Mary, Emma Katherine, Gertrude and John E .- are still living, and two daughters-Annie and Sarah-are deceased. Mr. Murphy is a member of Mckees- port lodge, No. 136, B. P. O. Elks, and of Pittsburg Aerie, No. 76,

Fraternal Order of Eagles. Whatever degree of success he may have obtained is due to his energy and inherent force of character. Thrown upon the world at an early age, with a limited education, he has met and overcome obstacles as they presented themselves with a courage that is highly commendable. In business, in polit- ical circles and in his fraternal organizations, he has made friends by his good nature, which is almost proverbial, and by a steadfast adherence to correct principles.

Elisha Bennett served in the Mexican war, and on the advent of the Civil war enlisted in the 19th regulars. Five of his. sons also fought in the war. William Bennett, the subject of this article, was born in Alle- gheny City, Pa., Oct. 13, 1845. He attended the public schools, and in early youth commenced working in the Pittsburg glass factory, where he remained about two years, and also in other places until the out- break of the Civil war. On Sept. 24, 1861, he enlisted in Company E, 54th Pennsylvania volunteers, where he served three years, and then re-enlisted and served until the close of the war. During this time he fought in the battles of New Market, on the Shenandoah, Piedmont, Lexington, Lynchburg, Winchester, Fisher's Hill, Cedar creek, Fort Gregg, in front of Petersburg, and at High Bridge, Va. At High Bridge, April 9, 1865, he was taken prisoner with his com- mand, but on the fall of Appomattox and Lee's surrender three days afterwards, he was released. Returning to civil life, Mr. Bennett was married, July 3, 1865, to Sarah Ann, daughter of Jesse and Elizabeth (Hamel) Critchlow, both parents being descended from pioneer families of that section.

D. NEWTON GREER, principal of the Greer business college, which occu- pies the third story of the building at 837 Braddock Ave., was born in Mechanics- burg, Indiana Co., Pa., Dec. 26, 1859. He attended public schools in his native village, and the Lumber City academy, a classic school of high order, of which his father was principal.

Morrell, was leased, the school was called the Morrell institute, and soon had an attendance of over 300 pupils, and became of more than local repute. After the sweep of the Johnstown flood (1889) little remained of the institute, but Mr. Greer, with remarkable energy, went to work again to build up the school, nor did he relax his efforts until the enrollment crept up to the former number. In 1895 he disposed of his inter- ests, and in 1898 opened the Greer business college in Braddock, Pa., which is now thoroughly established and enjoys a reputation for thorough work, holding sessions every day and evening, except in the month of August.
