Hi, I'm not sure how much help I can be but there was an inquest for Lillian B. Murphy 5-27-1924. Does not mean date of death just inquest date I have noticed the dates very as much as 3 months from death date. There are 10 Murphy's listed in the inquest book 1851-1939 one an R. B. was killed in an explosion. Found a marriage for Morton J. Murphy and Lillian B. Nighsonger 11-7-1898 L-328 several other Murphey marriages listed. Census for 1870 and 1880 list a Murphy family but no Morton. No mention of Morton in the 1890 Great Register either. I have no census info after 1880.
