Biography:
AUGUSTUS L. MURPHY, one of the leading business citizens of Hortonville, Wisconsin, who is secretary of the Farmers' Home Mutual Insurance Company, one of the largest organizations of its kind in the country, was born October 23, 1848, in Jefferson county, New York, the only surviving child of the eight born to Adam and Josephine P. (Vebber) Murphy. Adam Murphy was of Irish descent, and was left an orphan at an early age, being reared by a Holland family of the Mohawk Valley. Augustus L. Murphy received his education in the common schools. When twenty years of age he started out to make his own way in the world, and in the spring of 1869 arrived in Outagamie county, where he began working on a farm. During the winter of that year he met with an accident, cutting his foot severely with an axe, and in the spring of 1870 he gave up farming and entered a cheese factory in Greenville township, of which he eventually became the owner, operating it until 1897, when he rented it and came to Hortonville to become secretary of the insurance company. This large concern has $4,687,743 in risks, and its business dealings have been so satisfactory as to practically drive the old line -companies from the field. On taking the position he now holds Mr. Murphy introduced new business methods in the office, the system being now so perfected that at a moment's notice he can give a detailed account of all business transactions from the time he took up his duties to the present day. He is a member of the Odd Fellows, is secretary of the Equitable Fraternal Union No. 10, and is independent in politics. With his family he attends church. In 1872 Mr. Murphy was married to Matilda; Jack, daughter of Hiram and Mary (Hunter) Jack, the former born in New Brunswick in 1819, a son of a native of Maine of Irish descent, and Mrs. Jack a native of Scotland, who came to the United States at the age of two years. They were married in 1841 and came to Outagamie county thirteen years later, purchasing eighty acres of wild land in Greenville township, two miles east of Hortonville. During the first few years, when the wild land was being cleared, Hiram worked nights in a mill in Hortonville, walking to and fro from work, while his family was engaged in clearing the land. Mrs. Murphy can remember many interesting reminiscences of these early times and many of them have to deal with the hardships and privations endured by the early settlers, but she also remembers that the sufferings of the pioneers only brought them closer together and that the brotherly feeling existing between the families in those days was far beyond anything that has been brought by the growth and development of the country. What belonged to one family at that time was gladly shared, those who had cows distributing the milk among their less fortunate neighbors until the supply was gone, and those who butchered dividing readily their supply of fresh meat among those who had none. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Murphy: Chester A., born in 1874, now employed in the paper mill at Rothschild, Wisconsin; Mrs. Maud Evans, of New York State; Charles E., married and living in Tacoma, Washington, where he is in the employ of an express company as local agent; and Mrs. Bessie Brown, of Santa Barbara, California.
