A daughter of Simri R. "Sim" & Laura D. (BEDELL) MURPHEY. Reported age at time of death was 9 years (burial record), or 9 or 10 years (newspaper obituary), so evidently born about 1872 (reportedly aged 7 years on the 1880 census). Died at the residence of Mr. A. F. JOHNSTON in Columbus. Emmie's 4-year-old brother Robert Emmett MURPHEY had just been buried on 27 OCT 1881, and she was reportedly buried next to him -- which is problematic because he was recorded buried in city 2-1147, which is part of a related BEDELL lot (Autry B-128), across the lane from city 2-1168, which is part of the MURPHEY family lot (Autry B-68).
The 1880 census of Militia District #688 (Talbotton District) in Talbot County, Georgia, shows (all birth dates Georgia): Simri R. MURPHEY (aged 34 years), a farmer, with wife Laura (28), keeping house; daughter Emmie (7), and Emmett (3).
The burial entry in the sexton's ledger book shows: a child of Mr. MURPHY (sic) was born in Georgia, died aged 9 years of typhoid fever, and was buried 13 NOV 1881 in Section 2, Lot 1168 as a non-resident of Columbus, Georgia. The sexton was Abraham ODOM.
This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. On 15 NOV 1881, C. E. MURPHEY paid $15 for city 2-1168. On 17 APR 1882, S. R. MURPHEY paid $5 each for city 2-1168½ and 2-1183½. These lot together compose Lot 68 in Section B of Dolores Autry's "Historic Linwood Cemetery" book (edited by Dowd et al.), Volume 1, p. 20. Autry reports two adult-sized ledgers and 4 child-sized ledgers, none of which have any identifying markings. A VA-issued military headstone has since been provided for Simri R. MURPHEY and placed in the lot, although the precise position of his grave remains unknown.
