  • Notes 
    • Thomas Gerow Murphy was a druggist by profession.
      Sometime around 1910, he left Ontario and moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba where he set up a pharmacy.
      Later he relocated to Neepawa, Manitoba for another paharmacy opportunity.
      He eventually became involved in municipal politics and became Mayor of Neepawa.
      In time, he got into federal politics and became a Federal MP under the Conservative Party when Arthur Meighen was the Prime Minister (1926-1927).
      He was re-elected in 1930, and was a Cabinet Minister under R.B. Bennett (1930 - 1935).
      He retired and returned to Ontario sometime in the 1940's, settling in Toronto.

      His wife Lillian passed away in 1946 and he remarried a few years later to a Dorothy R. Manchester. She died on August 31, 1990 in Abbotsford, B.C.

      Thomas and both of his wives are buried in St James Cemetery in Toronto, Ontario.
