MURPHY, M.D. Cincinnati, The Queen City, Vol. 3; published in 1912 Transcribed by: Jody Clayburn Among the specialists in the practice of medicine in Cincinnati who have won a high standing on account of eminent ability and are now well established in their life work should be named Dr. Walter E. Murphy. He devotes his attention to the treatment of diseases of the eye, nose, and throat and during a period of fourteen years has demonstrated his worth. He was born on a farm in Green Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, March 3, 1871, a son of George W. and Edith (Donovan) Murphy. Reared on the home farm Walter E. Murphy attended the local schools and later became a student at Lebanon (Ohio) University under the celebrated Dr. Alfred Holbrook. After leaving the university he taught school for three years and then began the study of medicine. He was graduated from the Miami Medical College, Cincinnati, in 1897, and during the following three years was a member of the staff of the Ophthalmic Hospital in Cincinnati. He is now ophthalmologist and laryngologist to the Episcopal Hospital for Children and is associate professor of otology and laryngology at the Ohio-Miami Medical College of this city. He has specialized in the treatment of the eye, nose and throat ever since he began practice and has met with marked success, being now a recognized authority on the subjects to which he devotes his energies. He is a member of the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine, the Ohio State Medical Society, the American Medical Association, and is also a member of the American Academy of Ophthalmology and Oto-Laryngology. In 1905 Dr. Murphy was married to Miss Matilda Calhoun, a daughter of the late Dr. John Wesley Calhoun of this city. Fraternally he is connected with the Masonic order and is an earnest advocate of its principles. From his early manhood he has been a student and investigator, and his profession has furnished a steadily broadening field for his talents. His success is due to a deep interest in his calling, keen powers of perception and discrimination, and a knowledge as to the cause and treatment of disease which he acquired through years of patient observation and study. A man of irreproachable character, he has attracted many friends and by a life of true service has proved a blessing to his fellowmen. ________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ ------------------------------ X-Message: #2 Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 22:29:40 -0500 From: christina m hursh To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: <20000812.104012.-207217.0.frog158@juno.com> Subject: Bio: MURPHY, John W. - Hamilton county Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit JOHN W. MURPHY, A.M., M.D. Cincinnati, The Queen City, Vol. 3; published in 1912 Transcribed by: Jody Clayburn Dr. John W. Murphy, prominent as a representative of the medical profession, specializing as an oculist and aurist, was born in Logan, Ohio, September 14, 1856, a son of John a. and Sarah J. (Cunningham) Murphy. The former is of Scotch-Irish extraction and has been represented in Pennsylvania for a number of generations. The father was born in that state but the greater part of his life was spent in Logan, Ohio, where he became one of the successful merchants, conducting a profitable business for many years, and at all times enjoying the respect, confidence and good will of his fellow townsmen. He died in 1893, at the age of seventy-five years. In the public schools of his native town, Dr. Murphy began his education and afterward prepared for college in Delaware, Ohio. He graduated from the Ohio Wesleyan University in that city with the class of 1888 and received the degree of Masters of Arts from his alma mater three years later. His preceptor in the study of medicine was Dr. John McDowell, of Delaware, and in the fall of 1888 he entered the Miami Medical College, in which he completed the regular three years course with the class of 1891. He then removed to Cincinnati and after five years general practice went abroad for post-graduate study in Berlin, Halle and Vienna, carrying on his investigations as a specialist in the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. He had the benefit of instruction from some of the eminent oculists and aurists of the old world and his preparation well qualified him for the work to which he has since given his attention. After fifteen months he returned to Cincinnati, where he began practice as a specialist. Since that he has been abroad for further study three times, making the last trip in 1911. Most of his time on these trips has been spent with the specialist in his broad field and in the hospitals at Vienna, where he has seen the work of some of the most distinguished representatives of the profession in the old world. Aside from private practice, Dr. Murphy has served on the staff of the Cincinnati Hospital as laryngologist, was professor of laryngology at the Ohio Medical College at Miami, and is a member of the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine, the Ohio State Medical Society and the American Medical Association. He also belongs to the Ophthalmologic and Oto-Laryngological Society and to the Oto-Laryngological and Rhinological Society, while in his college days he became a member of the Alpha Kappa Kappa. Dr. Murphy was married in 1893 to Miss Anne Morrison, a daughter of Robert Morrison, of Delaware, Ohio. They are members of the Walnut Hills Methodist Episcopal church and are prominent socially, having a circle of warm friends who entertain for them high regard. The consensus of public opinion places Dr. Murphy in a prominent position as a specialist and his view are always listened to with interest by brother practitioners, who recognize the fact that he has long since passed beyond the point of mediocrity and stands among the successful few. ________________________________________________________________ -------------------------------- End of OH-FOOTSTEPS-D Digest V00 Issue #246 *******************************************
