A Re | THE HAILEYBURIAN Vol. 47; No. 22 HAILEYBURY, ONTARIO THURSDAY, AUGUST 12, 1951 Subscription Rate: $2.00 per year North's Pioneer Lumberman is Laid to Rest Came to Temiskaming in 1896; Host of Friends Mourn His Passing One of the North Country's better known and most highly re- spected timbermen, Arthur James Lewis Murphy, died in Hailey- bury Tuesday night of last week in Misericordia Hospital, after a brief illness. The late Mr. Mur- phy, who during the past four years had weathered a couple of serious illnesses had been in rea- sonably good health until about the middle of the past month. Born at Buckingham, Que., in 1873, "A. J.", as he was familiar- ly known to his host of friends followed lumbering all his life, with farming as a successful side line. He first came to the dist- rict in 1896 with the J. R. Booth Company of Ottawa. At that time the Booth, Company was logging the area along Lake Temiska- ming but were only taking out the choice timber. Mr. Murphy took off the remainder. One day when he was in Ottawa, the Booth Company pointed out to him that he hadn't drawn any wages for about three years. At that time he made arrangements with them that instead of taking the money in cash that they give him the limits for the remainder of the timber on them. The deal was made. Returning home he sold his limits to Mr. Paradis for sufficient to cover his wages. His large farm in South Lorrain is on part of the lands he acquired at that time, and is one of the 'shew' farms of the North, specializing in "white face' Herefords. Later, Mr. Murphy lumbered in the Elk Lake section and hada mill at Murphys' siding, near Os- seo. In 1916 the mill was burned and the following year he opened another mill at Latchford, where he has continued his lumbering. business. In 1902, Mr. Murphy married the former Miss Bertha Ham- mond in Haileybury, and the cou- ple had made their home here since that time. Great numbers of his friends gathered at the funeral services here last Friday at the United Church, where services were held by a former pastor of the church Rev. W.A. Beecroft, now of Wingham, Ontario, and interment was in Mount Pleasant Cemetery A member of Haileybury Lodge No. 485, A.F.& A.M.,, the service at the graveside were under Ma- sonic auspices. Surviving besides his wife are two sons, Russell and John of Haileybury, and two daughters Kathleen (Mrs. Dickson) of To- ronto and Louise, at home, Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Larwill of Buckingham, Que., and Miss Bertha of Saskatchewan and three brothers, Albert, John and Norman, all of Saskatchewan. TRI-TOWN BRIGADES HAVE MUTUAL AID SYSTEM AT WORK Final arrangements were com- pleted last Thursday night for a mutual assistance pact between the fire departments of Cobalt Haileybury and New Liskeard. The plan calls for assistance from the communities involved in case of a large fire in the town limits of one. It does not cover areas outside the town limits which may be served by any one of the communities, At the meeting were Mayor J H. Sumbler and councillor Lorne Prentiss, New Liskeard; Mayor A. H. Cooke and councillor Neil McAulay of Haileybury and coun- cillor A. R. Herbert of Cobalt. The chiefs of the departments involved will commence a pro- gram whereby they will study the fire facilities in the alternate towns, so that they will have an understanding on what is needed for mutual aid.
