  E. E. MURPHY, merchant, Robinson, was born in Licking County, Ohio, February
18, 1834, and when quite young removed with his parents to Michigan, where he
remained three years. In 1854, he came to Palestine, in this county, and
commenced clerking in a store there-an employment he continued for some three
years, when he commenced merchandising on his own account. He remained at
Palestine until 1875, when he removed to Robinson, continuing the merchantile
business in his new quarters. He built a store house which he still occupies. He
does an extensive business, selling annually about $20,000 worth of goods. Mr.
Murphy was married June 11, 1857, to Miss Eliza Alexander, of Palestine, by whom
he had two children-Jeanetta and Mary B. His wife died in 1867, and in February,
1872, he was married a second time to Miss Sallie C. Swearingen, who died in
October, 1875. He was married again, in July, 1878, to Frances Davis, of
Greenville, Illinois.
