Biographical Sketch of John B. Dumphy, Washington County, Missouri >From "History of Franklin, Jefferson, Washington, Crawford and Gasconade Counties", Biographical Appendix, Goodspeed Publishing Company, 1888. ********************************************************************** John B. Dumphy, book keeper for the Union Mining and Smelting Company of Old Mines, is a native of Washington County, and was born August 20, 1857. His father, Paul Dumphy, was a native of Ireland, who immigrated to this country, and was employed as foreman on the Iron Mountain Rail- road. He enlisted in the Confederate Army during the late war, and died from a disease contracted at Vicksburg, Miss. He married Lucy Portell, who was born and reared in Old Mines, Washington County, and is still living. This marriage was blessed by the birth of two children: Mary E., now the wife of James Catlett, Jr. and John B. The latter was rear- ed in his native county, and followed different occupations until 1882, when he commenced work in his present position, and the length of time he has remained with the company is evidence of his efficiency and com- petency for the position. ==================================================================== USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free information on the Internet, data may be used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material.
