Murphy – Mahala Ann Epperson was born Jan. 18, 1849, near Albia, Ia. She was the last surviving member of a family of nine children born to Thomas and Letha York Epperson. She came to this county in 1866. She was united in marriage to Hiram H. Murphy Dec. 31, 1868, with whom she lived as a faithful partner for 47 years, until his death in 1916. Ten children were born to this union, two of whom are deceased, Frank dying in infancy and Mrs. Dora Lewis in 1911. They began their married life and lived on the same farm, nine miles northeast of Clarinda. After her husband's death she bought a smaller farm nearer Clarinda, where she lived with her son, Martin, whose unfailing love and thoughtfulness made the burden of failing health seem lighter. In later years she has made her home with her children. At the age of 17 she was converted in her home while kneeling at her father's knee. She later became one of the charter members of the North Grove Methodist Episcopal church when it was built in 1877 and has retained her membership until her passing. Her religious faith was to her a source of great strength and help in all problems in rearing her children and the later days of weakness and infirmities of age. At the ripe old age of 83, after a long period of ill health she fell asleep March 28, 1932 at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Ashmore, in Clarinda. She is survived by eight children, three sons and five daughters, Cyrus, Martin, Bert E. Murphy, Mrs. Effie Krucker, Mrs. Anna Harris, Mrs. Jennie Cooper, Mrs. Mae Ashmore and Mrs. Alice Swan, 16 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren and many other relatives and a host of friends. The funeral services were held Wednesday first at the John Ashmore home, later at 2:30 in the North Grove church, burial being made in the family lot in the church cemetery. Rev W H Meredith of the Clarinda Methodist church, assisted by Rev Wayne Emry of the North Grove church, was in charge of the services. Six grandsons served as pallbearers, Doran Swan, Dale Ashmore, Francis Murphy, Wendell Cooper, Gerald Murphy and Clyde Lewis, while four granddaughters carried the flowers, Mrs. Dudley Hoskins, Edith Miller, Mabel Shepard and Janice Murphy. Mahala Ann Murphy, born 18 Jan 1849 near Albia, Ia; died wed 21 Dec 1868 Hiram Murphy; father Thomas Epperson; mother Letha York; interred North Grove. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, 07 Apr 1932
