Murphy, James Unmarked grave of James Murphy, (the right-hand half of this grave). Why James was buried in half of a grave that seems to belong to some other family, in what seems to be the RC section of the cemetery is a mystery. He died in 1918, in the influenza epidemic. His name is included on the obelisk that stands on the Murphy family grave. |
