Angela, I have your Wilie Murphy listed as Wiley E. Murphy. He was born about 1857 in Lauderdale County, Alabama and died about 1912. He was first married on 22 July 1880 in Wayne County, Tennessee to Mary Elizabeth "Bettie" Bevis (1855-1890), daughter of James M. Bevis and Mary________. The children of Wiley and Bettie were: 1. Issabelle Murphy, m. John Holliway. 2. Lucille Callie Murphy, m. Bill Bailey. 3. Ada Murphy, m. Tom Lindsey. 4. Bernice Murphy. Wiley was second married in 1891 to Mattie A. Burns. Their children were: 1. Lewis Murphy 2. Amanda Murphy. 3. Rosie Murphy. 4. Carl Murphy. 5. Addie Murphy. Wiley E. Murphy was the son of Matthew Murphy (b. 1811/13 Laurens County, South Carolina) and Anna Murphy (b. 1815/19 South Carolina). Matthew Murphy was the son of John Murphy (b. 1775/80 South Carolina) and probably Nancy "Ticy" Lindsey. Anna Murphy was possibly the daughter of Ephraim Murphy (b. c1787 Maybinton, Newberry County, South Carolina). John Murphy and Ephraim Murphy were part of the westward movement in the 1820s from Laurens and Newberry Counties, South Carolina to what I like to refer to as the tri-state area of Wayne and Hardin Counties, Tennessee; Lauderdale County, Alabama and Tishomingo County, Mississippi. So far I have found no relationship between John and Ephraim. Hope this helps. Jerry W.

Is there anyone on this list that could assist me with an obituary? Don't require a hard copy - just the data from the obit of ALVIN TRAVIS who died in Florence on 1 Feb 1998. Thanks Jackie

I hope you enjoy this! Jane Foley Cornelius, NC The Census Taker It was the first day of census, and all through the land, The pollster was ready....a black book in hand.. He mounted his horse for a long, dusty ride, His book and some quills were tucked close by his side, A long, winding ride down a road barely there, Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air The woman was tired, with lines on her face, She gave him some water as they sat at the table, and she answered his questions the best she was able. He asked of her children....Yes, she had quite a few, The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two, She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red, His sister, she whispered, was napping in bed, She noted each person who lived there with pride, And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside, He noted the sex, the color, the age, The marks from the quill soon filled up the page, At the number of children--she nodded her head and saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead The places of birth she "never forgot", Was it Kansas?or Utah? or Oregon....or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear, but, she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such, They could read some, and write some, though really not much, When the questions were answered his job there was done, So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun, WE can almost imagine his voice loud and clear, "May God bless you all for another ten years", NOW picture a time warp....its now you and me. AS we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow, AS we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long-ago day, That the entries they made would affect us this way? If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel, and the searching that makes them so increasingly real? WE can hear if we listen the words they impart, Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart. Author Unknown......

I received this from another list and thought you might enjoy! Jane Foley Cornelius, NC The year 1904 Maybe this will boggle your mind, I know it did mine! The year is 1904. One hundred and one years ago. What a difference a century makes! Here are some of the U.S. statistics for 1904: The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years. Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub. Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars. There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower! The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents an hour. The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year. A mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home. Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee was fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason. The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was 30!!! Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented. There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day. Two of 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write. Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores. According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." (Shocking!) Eighteen percent of households in the U.S. had at least one full-time servant or domestic. There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S. And I forwarded this from someone else without typing it myself, and sent it to you in a matter of seconds! Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years .. it staggers the mind

I am hoping someone can help me with information regarding the marriage of MARY LONG. She was in Colbert County in 1900, but I cannot find her after.

FLORENCE GAZETTE 18 July 1846 Obituary- Departed_ This late near Lexington in this county, on the evening of Thursday the 9th inst., at four o'clock Mrs. Mary S. Pettus, consort of Mr. Horatio Pettus, in the 66th year of her age. The deceased was the aged mother of our esteemed Sheriff, and after a life of three-score and six years has gone to her final home, lamented by an aged husband, several children, numerous relatives and acquaintances. She was born in Macklenburg Co., Virginia-- and settled in this county in 1819. She had for 40 years, lived a member of the Baptist Church, and as the time of her death expressed full hope of finding favor and eternal life in the land of the blest in Heaven. The spirit of the veteran husband, may in the evening of his long life, be made glad in the thought that his loss is her eternal gain. When the weight of years and increasing infirmities, under which he totters as a drooping reed, shall have been brought to a close, may his hope be like that of his lamented companion, that he may yet join with her and the sainted millions in the upper and better land, where affliction, trouble, and sorrow are no more. Enquirer

Concerning the post I made April 30 th about the James Robert Bumpass Diaries I transcribed a few years ago. The Bumpass, R.

Here is the whole article. Some of them are pretty easy to transcribe. FLORENCE ALABAMA LAUDERDALE COUNTY FLORENCE GAZETTE 11 July 1846 Image 12, 13- July 11, 1846 pg 1 column three (1) Paymaster in The Army- We are pleased to learn, that our worthy countyman, Major Andrew J COFFEE, has been appointed by the President, Paymaster in the Army. He is a son of our deceased townsman, Gen. John Coffee, who performed such distinguished and efficient service in the cause of his country during the last war with England. The appointment is a good one, and will give general satisfaction, for we are of the opinion that a more competent, or deserving gentleman could not have been selected. Major Coffee will leave here in a day or two for New Orleans, where he is directed to report himself to the Commanding Officer. He, will we presume, be sent at once to the Rio Grande.

Farrar, a citizen of this county, on a return trip from New Orleans, was robbed, a few days since, while in the town of Florence of about forty-one hundred dollars; which money, we understand was sent by him from Commission merchants to several gentlemen in this county.
