Uncle Joe says that Richard/James Joseph was killed on a train but have been unable to locate any confirmation on this.I ordered some newspapers Microfilm from Minnesota hoping to find info on the Dunphys in there but could not locate anything.I have been unable to verify where Permelia and James/Richard died.I will definitely keep your info in mind and be looking for a connection.
