Scope and Contents note
The Murphy Papers collection contains two series: Account books and Scrapbook.
Series I: Account books date from 1946 to 1959. The series includes eight account books from Murphy’s medical practice. The books entail patient visits, including names, owed fees, and any prescribed recommendations to or observations about their health.
Series II: Scrapbook dates from 1917 to 1972. The series contains Murphy’s AEF identification card and various memos, special orders, telegrams, and health records related to his service in World War I. The series also includes an English language newspaper circulating in Europe ca. 1918 (Kaiser Wilhelm II’s exile is front page news) and a condolence letter sent to Mrs. Murphy after her husband’s death. Due to its fragile state, the scrapbook was disbound and each page (including loose documents) was transferred to its own folder.
