The Covington Star, May 13, 1885
     Mr. Wm. M. Murphey, an old citizen of Snapping Shoals, died on last 
Saturday night, of paralysis sometime on Thursday morning, when he fell on the 
floor of his room in a helpless condition, and was not found until dinner time.
He was unconcious when found, and remained so until his death, on Saturday 
night. Mr. Murphey was a native of South Carolina, but had been a citizen of 
Snapping Shoals for over 30 years. He was postmaster at that place, and was
also engaged in merchandising. He was never married, and had no family. He was  
a quiet and good citizen, and was honest and fair in all his doings. His remains
were buried at Hopewell Church on Sunday afternoon, the funeral services being 
conducted by Rev. Mr. Todd, of DeKalb County. Peace to his ashes.
