- Notes: John Murphy was born at Cohen between Bungendore and Queanbeyan in 1869. He and his brother Ted Murphy were shearers travelling from shed to shed on horseback and carrying all their worldly possessions on packhorses.

They came to Tumut in December 1887. For some years John did farm work when not engaged in shearing, but for almost fifty years he worked in the district on road construction work.

During the whole of that fifty years he lived near McFarlane's Creek alongside the present golf course. He was a great family man and devout churchgoer. He continued to drive his horse and sulky each Sunday to Mass until he was over ninety and had to stop when the old horse died from old age.

A grand old man, he died at Tumut in September 1965 at the age of 96 years. His wife predeceased him about ten years earlier. They had four sons.
