Daughter of Francis Lewis Whiting and Ann Janette "Nett" Burdick

Married #1 Orison Evelon Murdock on 10 December 1887 in Fergus Falls.

Married #2 William Franklin Perry on 5 December 1917 in Clitherall.

Coincidentally, one of Cordy's older sisters, Lucia Louise "Lulu" Whiting, 1855-1930, had already married one of Orison's older brothers, H. Alva Murdock, 1853-1898. Lulu and Alva were married on 13 October 1875 in Clitherall, Minnesota.

After Cordy and Orison's daughter, Matie Fern, died in 1903, Cordy and Orison Murdock adopted Marguerite Rosalee (nee: Murdock) Kelley, 1906–2001, while Marguerite was still an infant. After Orison passed in 1916, Will Perry helped raise Marguerite. Additionally, for a period of time, Cordy and Will helped raise Emma Ione (nee: Trowbridge) McNeill, 1910-1989, who used the name Ione. Ione is the youngest daughter of Cordy's paternal cousin, Emma A. (nee: Whiting) Trowbridge, 1867-1910. Her father is Almon Whiting Sr., 1821-1908. Almon is the brother of Francis Lewis Whiting, 1830-1909. Francis is the father of Cordy – A.R.M. jr (2023).
