Hello my son is doing a report on buffalo don Murphy was wondering if your wife remembers the kids names we can’t find a lot of info on him. We are also looking for his birth date but I’m sure you don’t know that but any info will help. Thank you Shanan from Eatonville.

Thank you. I had heard that Geneal had gotten tired of the beatings, but heard so many different versions of it I didn’t really know what happened. The ones I really feel sorry for are the kids.

I worked for Murphy in the early 70′s, and my wife worked at the house as live in baby sitter/housekeeper. He beat his wife on a regular basis, including the night before she gave birth to their last child. After taking his wife to the hospital he came back and attacked my wife. When I came out to visit her later that day, seeing the bruises on her neck I told her to pack her things – we were leaving that madman! We went back to my apatrment in Tacoma, packed my things and we left Back to Ohio.
