Notes: Husband - Emmett Berry MURPHY
===============================================================================================
His death certificate informant was Corinne Burns.
===============================================================================================
Notes: Child - Elizabeth Corine MURPHY
===============================================================================================
Grand Prairie is actually in Dallas County but her death certificate is in Tarrant.
===============================================================================================
Notes: Child - Audie Leon MURPHY
===============================================================================================
He was born near Kingston.
He was a passenger in a small private plane that crashed into Brush Mountain, near Catawba, in
a heavy rain.
===============================================================================================
Notes: Child - Richard Houston MURPHY
===============================================================================================
His birth certificate lists him as the 9th child born to Josie with 5 living.
===============================================================================================
Notes: Child - Eugene Porter MURPHY
===============================================================================================
Gene is listed as the 9th child born to Josie with 7 living.
===============================================================================================
Notes: Child - Billie Beatrice MURPHY
===============================================================================================
Her original certificate reports her as the 8th child born to Josie with 4 living, which is
obviously incorrect.
===============================================================================================
Notes: Child - Joe Preston MURPHY
===============================================================================================
His birth certificate shows him to be the 13th child born to Josie.
He was a police officer responding to a call and his car hit a truck that was making a
u-turn.

My Notes
===============================================================================================
At the time of his discharge, child number 8, Audie Leon Murphy was the most decorated veteran
of World War II. He later became an actor and played in about 40 films.
*Virginia DeVore Berry has a memorial stone in Etter Lake Cemetery that gives her death date as
1906 but she was reported as George's wife on the 1910 Federal Census in Hunt County.
My apologies to the family if I have recorded anything incorrectly.
