Boston Newspaper Clippings:
1) "Murphy - In South Boston, Feb.27, William H. Jr., son of William H. and Carrie E. Murphy aged 23 yrs. Funeral from his late residence, No. 448 3d St., Monday, February 29, at 2 o'clock. Relatives and friends invited. Internment at Cedar Grove cemetery."

2) "The funeral of William H. Murphy, Jr., one of South Boston's best known young men, was held Monday last from his late home, 458 third street, and was attended by many of the friends that knew and loved him and who mourned sincerely his early demise. The floral tributes were beautiful, testifying to the place he held in the hearts of his friends. The internment was in the family lot at Cedar Grove"

3) "The testimonial to be tendered William H. Murphy, Jr. at Gray's Hall next Tuesday evening promises to be a grand success. The Waverly orchestra has been secured and will give a promenade concert for one hour previous to the dancing."

Note: Family genealogy records reflects a birth date of March 3, 1871. Likely reason for this discrepancy, is if properly reflected as March 3, 1869, it would reflect that he was conceived prior to his parents marriage, on January 16, 1869. Since he died at the age of 23 in 1892, would also equate to a 1869 birth.
