Mary was born April 14, 1868, the eldest daughter. She never married but fostered and cared for many orphaned nieces and nephews than if she had been married or raised a family. She was a comely, pleasant, happy, hard working soul. The Almighty provided her with the gift of tickling the taste buds and juices of the digestive tract; still can taste the mouth-watering delicacies she used to provide as if by magic. When the Murphy Household was bereft by the death of the husband and Lather,  “Little Tim" Grandma Ann Murphy and Aunt Mary were directed to live in Uncle Dan's and Aunt Mary’s first farm home. The couple had purchased an adjoining farm owned by Charles Scanlan and added to their present acreage. It possessed a beautiful stone mansion. To this the family moved.  Grandma and Aunt Mary lived for many years in the pretty little home.  The latter had a "green thumb”. Each year she made, or I should say, enhanced the spot with her beautiful garden and flowers, especially roses and geraniums. During her years at this residence, Time was never boring for Mary. The maiden lady was a popular candidate by her brothers, sisters and relatives in the area when illnesses, new arrivals, baby sitting, etc., presented a problem in the household. She capably took over the helm and ran the ship in a smooth manner.

In the late 1920's, Uncle Dan’s health failed and he had to retire. He sold the farm and moved to Napanee, Ontario some eight miles away. Grandma took up residence in the House of Providence, Kingston, Ontario. Aunt Mary went to reside at Uncle Jim's, her brother, in Buffalo, New York. A few years later, Grandma took ill, and Aunt Mary returned to Kingston, Canada.  She sought and obtained employment in this city and for many years was housekeeper for Dr. Phelan.  Mary died in Kingston May 9, 1952. Her brother, Father Michael Murphy celebrated the funeral at Holy Name of Mary's Church, Marysville, Ontario.  She was buried in the family plot with her mother and rather.

When Buffalo changed this mode or travel to electric cars, Uncle Jim was one of the first employees to be trained to operate them. He met his wife, Jennie Johanna Muir, born in November 6, 1874, while in this service. She was born in this city.  James and Jennie were married June 8, 1898 at Annunciation Parish and Fr.

This property had a beautiful stone house and surroundings. When Grandpa Murphy died, Grandma Ann Murphy and her daughter Mary were directed to take up residence in the small white residence that they had vacated.

Uncle Dan and Aunt Mary were very industrious, hard working people and enjoyed life and this proved a profitable investment. In 1925 Uncle Dan developed a heart condition and he had to give up his beloved farm. He and Aunt Mary sold the farm to a Mr. Crossman and moved to Adelphi Street, Napanee, a small town some ten miles east of their home. Dan’s health did not improve and he died on January 4, 1930.

The father died in 1947. Aunt Kate, Marie and Michael moved to New York City about 25 years previous. Fr. Michael Murphy visited them in 1957. Joseph Jr. remained in Rochester.

Michael born February 24, 1877. He received his early education at S.S.# 10 Tyendinaga and passed his Entrance in 1891. In 1895 the Sacred Heart Juniorate opened its doors to help interested boys obtain an education of higher learning. This Institution followed the Curriculum offered by the University of Ottawa. Michael was one of the first candidates to enroll. He spent five years here and earned his Intermediate Certificate.

In 1900 he reported to the Novitiate of the Order of Mary Immaculate (O.M.I.) situated at Lachine, Quebec.

In 1901, he was assigned to Ottawa College to prepare for his Bache1or of Arts Degree and help the Staff with teaching and discipline. In 1902, Michael made his final vows to be a member of the Order. In 1903, he graduated with the Degree of Bachelor of Arts and reported to St. Joseph’s Scholasticate, Ottawa, to study Theology and the other subjects necessary to complete the Course.

In 1906, Michael was ordained to the priesthood on June 9, 1906 in Holy Family Church, East Ottawa, by the Most Reverend Albert Pascal, O.M.I. Bishop of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, Canada. The newly ordained priest had one more year to complete his studies at Ottawa Seminary of Ottawa University, at the same time helping the Staff by teaching Arithmetic, Algebra, and Botany. After the year of this assignment, he remained teaching until 1915.

1915 Father Michael was appointed to the Alberta—Saskatchewan Province of the Oblate Order and was stationed at St. Joseph’s Church, Edmonton, Alberta. While in Edmonton, he acted as the Juvenile Judge with his Lordship, Bishop Gray of the Anglican Diocese, the Senior Judge.

Father Michael was assigned in 1922 to St. Patrick’s Church, Lethbridge, Alberta. Here he persuaded the Sisters of St. Martha of Antigonish, Nova Scotia, to open a Catholic Hospital; the present St. Michael’s General Hospital. He built a school and started a fund to enable the parish to complete their partly built structure.

After ten years tenure in Lethbridge, Father Michael had many sudden and unexpected appointments. In 1932 he was made Superior and Novice Director of the Holy Rosary Scholasticate at Montreal Road, Orleans, Ontario. In 1935 directed to take up the Principalship of the Kootenay Indian Residential School in British Columbia. In 1938 assumed the same position at Cariboo Indian Residential at 150 Mile Mouse, B.C. In 1942 the Provincial directed him to come east and take charge of the Oblate farm on Wauoos Island, near Picton, Ontario.

In 1944 Fr. Michael’s health was failing. He was advised to have surgery. This took place at Ottawa General Hospital, Ottawa, Ontario. For the remaining year he recuperated at Holy Rosary Scholasticate, Montreal Road. In 1944 The Oblate Orders purchased property at Arnprior, Ontario, to establish an Oblate Novitiate. Father G. Keighley was appointed Superior to oversee this undertaking. He approached Father Michael to come with him. Father was delighted to be useful again and gladly went to this site. As Father Michael spoke English and French, not only did he teach and advise at the Novitiate, but also relieved priests on either side of the Ottawa River. (Arnprior is situated in Ontario close to the Ottawa River about 50 miles from Ottawa City).

In 1956 Father Michael celebrated his Golden Jubilee with his brother, Fr. Stephen Murphy O.M.I. Since both brothers had served in the East and West, both Provinces feted them on this occasion. In the West a celebration was held on May 22, 1956 at St. Peter’s Church, New Westminister, B.C.; and on June 12, at Holy Rosary Scholasticate, Montreal Road. Father Michael died August 30, 1957 and is buried in Arnprior, Ontario.

Stephen was born January 1, 1879. He attended S.S.#l0 Public School for his primary education. With his brother, Michael, he enrolled in the Sacred Heart Juniorate in 1895. This Institution followed the curriculum offered by the University of Ottawa. He spent five years here and earned his Intermediate Certificate. In 1900, he reported to the Novitiate of the Order of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (0.M.I.) situated at Lachine, Quebec. In 1901 he was assigned to Ottawa College to prepare for his Bachelor of Arts Degree and to help the Staff with teaching and discipline. In 1902, Stephen made his final vows as a member of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate. In 1903 he graduated with the Degree of Bachelor of Arts and reported to St. Joseph’s Scholasticate, Ottawa, to study theology and the other subjects necessary to complete his course. Stephen was ordained to the priesthood on June 9, 1906 in the Holy Family Church, Ottawa East, by the Most Reverend Albert Pascal, O.M.I. Bishop of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. The newly ordained priest had one more year to complete his studies and was sent to the Ottawa Seminary of the University of Ottawa, while at the same time helping the Staff to teach Latin, Greek and History.

After nine years of teaching, the brothers Fr. Michael and Fr. Stephen came to the parting of the ways. They were given assignments in the Western Province in Canada. In 1915 Father Michael was given orders to report to Edmonton Alberta. Father Stephen to St Peter's Parish, New Westminister British Columbia.

Again he was given teaching duties for two years at St. Louis College, New Westminister, also helping out with pastoral work. In 1917 Father was sent to St. Mary's Parish, Cranbrook, B.C., a struggling little parish in the Crow’s Nest Pass of the Canadian Pacific Railway. While stationed in Cranbrook from 1917 to 1926, he raised money and built a rectory. He had sufficient money set aside ($30,000), when he left, towards constructing a new edifice. In 1926 Father Stephen was commissioned to return to St. Peter’s Parish in New Westminister with the responsibility of Superior to the Oblate Order of the district and as pastor of St. Peter’s. Again, due to the conditions of the times, the financial responsibilities and procurement of funds to operate and solve problems were almost insurmountable. However, he made repairs to the Rectory, Church, and procured funds to help the unemployed. In 1932 he was directed to return to St. Mary’s Parish, Cranbrook, B.C. It was during the stressful years of the Great Depression and this locality was not any different than any other place at this time. While here, Father suffered a heart attack. He was advised by doctors to return to sea 1evel to regain his health. In 1935 Father Stephen returned to St. Peter’s Rectory, New Westminister and remained there until his death. Despite his condition, he was never an idle person. As British Columbia was newly settled and there were few priests to do the work, Father filled many positions: Chaplain at St. Mary’s Hospital, New Westminister, visited and celebrated mass at prisons of the area, Psychiatric Hospital, convents and other duties. His teaching skills came in handy-—tutored students in Greek, Latin, and Mathematics. Like Father Michael, he taught many peoples to learn the English language and in turn he became acquainted with their language.

In 1956 Father Stephen and Father Michael celebrated their Golden Jubilee. They were honoured by the East and West Provinces of the Oblates Of Mary Immaculate—May 22, 1956 at New Westminister, B.C., Holy Rosary Scholasticate June 12, 1956; Father I. Donoghue, parish Priest of Holy Name of Mary’s Church, Marysville, hosted a celebration for the Kingston Diocese to honour the two former parishioners June 21, 1956.

1964 Father Stephen died at St. Mary’s Hospital, flew West Minister, B.C. on Jan. 6th. His funeral mass was celebrated by his nephew, Father Thomas Patrick Murphy, C.S.S.R, at St. Peter’s Church, New Westminster, B.C. He is buried in the Oblate Cemetery, Mission City, B.C.
