The Murphys According to Fannie Graffis
Early History by Hazel Kerk Murphy Wiesjahn
Jen Murphy (my aunt) [Sarah Jane Murphy] took it so hard the way grandpap Slane ate at the table. He always left his hat on, ate out of all the dishes just as tho it was a side dish for him, so Uncle Will told Jen to always give him a good helping of everything in a dish by his plate and I remember so well how he took it. He always called her Jinny. He said, Why, Jinny, how thoughtful of you. So you see she had that problem solved.
