Daughter of:
William H. Murphy Sr. and Caroline E. "Carrie" (DeShon) Murphy
Occupation: At Home
Graduated from Mary Hemenway School June 25, 1901 (High School)
City of Boston, Massachusetts Birth Registration #6698
Born at 420 W Broadway - Reflects Birth as March 5, 1883
Single - Never Married
City of Boston, Massachusetts Death Registration #2259
Died at 137 Dorchester Street
Cause of Death: Pulmonary Consumption 2 Years (Consumption is an archaic name for Tuberculosis)
Age at Death: 19y 5d indicating a March 5, 1885 Birth. (As reflected in this Death Registration, 1904 Obituary, and Murphy Family genealogy records )
Buried at Cedar Grove Cemetery
Note: Death Registration & Obituary spelled her name as Kittie. Most on line records reflect the spelling as Kitty. Kittie's Death certificate also records her age at death as 19y, 5d. However, since the City of Boston, registered birth records in 1883, reflect her birth occurring in 1883, her actual age was 21 y, 5d. Further, Carrie (her mother) initial claim for her husbands Civil War Pension (for spouse and children under 16), when Kittie was 9 years old), provided dates on when she would reach the age of 16 as 03/05/1899, that also supports the 1883 Birth date. The reasonable conclusion therefore, is her real age of 21, was not being reflected accurately.
