NOTES
1). From the People s Water & Gas Company newspaper on his death With the deepest regret, the Installation Department and Warehouse advise of the death of Silas P. Murphy, Installation Superintendent. By now, almost everyone has heard of his recent illness. But for those who have not, may I explain that Mr. Murphy suffered a heart attack on Wednesday morning, May 2, and entered the hospital that afternoon. During the week that followed, complications of pleurisy, then pneumonia and peritonitis set in. During the following week, because of his overall good physical condition, he had managed to show a daily improvement. His doctor was very optimistic because of this response to treatment, and it appeared that only time was needed to mend his ailments. However, he suffered a second attack during the week, then, sometime after midnight May 20, he had a third attack which proved too much for his heart to take. I d like to take this time to extend the condolences of the Installation Department to Mr. Murphys family in this, their hour of bereavement, and to thank all of his friends and co workers, on behalf of this Department, for the concern shown, and the good wishes sent to Mr. Murphy during his period of illness. To say He ll be missed by everyone would be inadequate. I know I can say He ll be remembered . By the old friends who have worked with him through the years by the newcomers who got to know him. For me, and probably for most, a memory of a gruff, hard working Irishman, who laughed when something was funny, and swore when it wasn t. A Boss who raised hell when your job wasn t done right, but the first one to tell you when you did a good job. A man who performed, and demanded performance. One whose knowledge of the job inspired confidence in those who worked with him. A man whose fairness made a job worthwhile. He ll be remembered.......
2).  Mary Anne Murphy Stone  Grandmama always meant love to me.  We  her grandchildren  always felt we were perfect and I think we were, in her sight.  If not quite perfect yet, she just over looked it.  I really think it made us try to be so.  She was a wonderful cook and never used recipes.  I had never cooked when I married but all the years of standing in the kitchen watching Grandmama, gave me a good basis to work from.  One of my favorites was her buttermilk pie.  After I married, I wanted the recipe andremember having to stand and watch when she made one.  The two of us were trying to figure out the amounts to use.  The benefit of that was that I got to eat some of her delicious pie, after getting the recipe.  She made green mango pies also.  When Grandmama went to the hospital before she died, she wanted all of her family to come see her.  I lived in Orlando then and Bill, Linda, Dianne and I drove to Miami.  Grandmama asked what we had to eat because she had  given Lois some extra money forsomething good . That was Grandmama  always thinking of her family.  She once told me that when she had her children, she just wanted to live to see them grown and happy.  When she had grandchildren she wanted the same thing and then with her great grandchildren.  After everyone went to visit her over a period of days and with both her daughters on either side of her bed, she closed her eyes and died. The doctor said there was no physical reason but she was just ready. My cousin Harriet and I both said,  What a heritage  what an act to follow .  There was more though.  After her death, we each got a box from her.  Before going in the hospital, she separated and packed up things  letters, pictures, gifts, etc.  that we had given her over the years.
