NATHAN E. MURPHEY, M. D.
    Dr. Nathan E. Murphey has been actively engaged in the practice of medicine
at Clarendon for nearly a quarter of a century and enjoys an enviable reputation
as one of the skilled and successful representatives of the profession in Monroe
county. His birth occurred in Decatur, Alabama, in 186S, his parents being J. I.
and Sallie (Stevenson) Murphey, the latter a daughter of Arthur Stevenson. J. I.
Murphey, who served as a soldier of the Confederate army during the Civil war,
was also a native of Alabama. L. G. Murphey, brother of Dr. Murphey of this
review, is a successful attorney practicing at Holly Grove, Arkansas.

    Nathan E. Murphey obtained his more advanced education in the University of
Alabama and further prepared for a professional career as a student in the
medical department of the University of Louisville at Louisville, Kentucky. It
was in 1898 that he took up the work of his chosen profession at Clarendon,
Arkansas, and here he has remained continuously to the present time, being
accorded a practice that has steadily grown in volume and importance as he has
demonstrated his skill in checking the ravages of disease and restoring health.
He belongs to the Monroe County Medical Society, the Arkansas State Medical
Society, the Southern Railway Surgeons Association and the American Medical
Association, and through the proceedings of these bodies keeps thoroughly
informed concerning the latest scientific researches and discoveries of the
profession. Aside from his professional interests he is a director of the
Merchants & Planters Bank of Clarendon.

    In early manhood Dr. Murphey was united in marriage to Miss Anna L. Palmer
of Kansas City, Missouri, a daughter of Mrs. A. T. Palmer. His religious faith
is indicated by his membership in the Methodist Episcopal church, while
fraternally he is a Knight Templar Mason and member of the Mystic Shrine. During
the period of the World war he served on the advisory board for two counties. In
his practice he has ever conformed to the highest ethics and standards and has
therefore won the confidence and esteem of his professional colleagues and
contemporaries as well as of the general public.
