James had five daughters (1924 Butte school census and 1930 census: Agnes, Eileen, Imelda, Joan, Frances). Frances died in June 1930 (Los Angeles Times, 18 Jun 1930). Eileen was alive after his death: 'Murphy Eileen' at 4339 Victoria av in the 1939, 1941 and 1942 directories. His obituary of 19 Dec 1938 names 'four daughters, Agnes, Inelda, Joan and Dahl' (read from the page scan), so Dahl is Eileen by elimination; the 1940 report's 'Miss Dahl Murphy', her sister's maid of honour beside 'Misses Imelda and Joan Claire Murphy, sisters of the bride', fits an unmarried Eileen, who is otherwise missing from her sister's bridal party; and the directories print her as 'Eileen D' in 1936, 1938 and 1942. Whether Dahl was a second name or a pet name is not recorded.
