R. MURPHY Tuesday last at 3 o'clock PM Mr. W. R. Murphy died at his home in Barnesville. He was one of Barnesville's oldest most honored and respected citizens. He was seventy-six years old. He was a grand man; was fearless in his denunciation of wrong and a strong advocate of what was right. The first half of his life was spent in this county where he ranked among our best citizens. Of him it may be said a good and useful man is gone. The Monroe Advertiser August 27, 1895 issue
