Ellen (Lyne) Murphy (b. Ardgroom; m. Patrick Murphy 1881; d. Butte 1935)

Also known as: Mrs. Ellen Murphy, Mrs. Patrick Murphy, Ellen Lyne, Ellen Lyne Murphy, Ellen Sullivan Lyne

family confidence: 95 — certain (corroborated)Lyne (paternal in-law via Ellen Lyne Murphy)

Born Ireland, immigrated to Butte 1892 (per 1900 + 1910 federal censuses; 1935 obit rounds to "45 years a resident" = 1890). Wife of person_patrick_j_murphy_bartender_1908. Three children: James (LA), Daniel L. (Butte), Theresa (Seattle). Active in the Ladies' Catholic Benefit Association at Sacred Heart parish, Butte. Died at a local hospital Aug 23 1935 age 73, after a brief illness. Funeral at St. Patrick's church; burial Holy Cross cemetery. Six pallbearers, Judge J. J. Lynch first. (Corrected 4 Oct 2026: the honorary pallbearers once listed here belong to Joe Mudro's funeral, reported above hers on the same page.) **Working career** (per directory pass 2026-05-28): 1906-07 Ellen was "janitress, Court House Annex" at 120 W. Quartz; 1908 (year Pat was committed to Warm Springs) she transitioned to operating furnished rooms at 120 W. Quartz; 1909 (her son JJM's marriage year) she moved her rooming operation to a bigger building she owned at 505 W. Galena where the 1910 census enumerates her as "Landlady, Apartments" with sister Margaret + cousin Christopher Lyne + niece Nora Sullivan + newlywed son JJM's family all as residents/tenants. After Pat's 1912 death she gradually contracted her household — c.1917 at 725 N Main with son Daniel; 1923 at 1749 Florence with Daniel + Theresa; 1925 she owned a home at 2503 State (with Daniel + Theresa) where JJM lived 2.5 blocks away at 2745 State. By 1935 she was at the Fox Hotel. **Residence sequence** (primary-source-verified, 2026-05-28 directory + census vision pass): - 1900: 407 W Cobban (with Pat + 3 kids) - by 1904: 120 W Quartz (with Pat + kids) - 1906-07: 120 W Quartz, janitress Court House Annex - 1908: 120 W Quartz, furn rms operator (Pat to Warm Springs) - 1909: moved to 505 W Galena (as "Mrs Ella" furn rms) - 1910: 505 W Galena, Landlady Apartments (owned home) - 1912: 3 W Agate (Pat's death residence) - c.1917: 725 N Main (with son Daniel, Hennessy's clerk) - 1923: 1749 Florence (with Daniel + Theresa) - 1925: 2503 State (owned home, with Daniel + Theresa) - 1935: Fox Hotel (death) NOTE on namesakes — 1900-1925 directories list 3+ "Ellen Murphy"s in Butte simultaneously: ours = "(wid Patrick J)" or "Mrs Ellen Murphy" with occupation; not "(wid Timothy J) r 18 O'Neil Walkerville", not "(wid Jerry D) r 528½ S Idaho", not the housekeeper at 941 Lewisohn. The 1909 "Mrs Ella furn rms r 505 W Galena" is almost certainly ours with a Polk typo (matches 1910 census). **Records merged 2026-10-03**: this record, the family-tree (GEDCOM) record "Ellen Sullivan Lyne", and the alias made for the 1908 hearings. The tree gives her birth as 15 November 1861 at Ardgroom, which fits the 1935 obituary age (73); the 1900 census reads c. 1863. **Father: probably John (O')Sullivan, her mother's first husband. Myles Lyne was her stepfather.** Decision 2026-10-03 (user: "likely bio daughter of john sullivan", after a date check). Confidence 75 that John Sullivan was her father, 95 that she was born before her mother married Myles Lyne. Why: - Her mother Margaret Shea married John Sullivan on 20 Feb 1855 (Eyeries register) and, as "Margaret Shea alias Sullivan", widow, married Myles Lyne, widower, on 9 June 1865 (civil marriage return). - Every record of Ellen's age puts her birth before June 1865: "full age" at her marriage on 7 Feb 1881 (born by Feb 1860); 30 on the New York passenger list (1892 by the family tree); "Sept 1863" in the 1900 census; 46 in the 1910 census; 73 in the 1935 burial register; 15 Nov 1861 in the family tree, which cites the Montana death record; "76" at death in Terese Murphy's letter of 9 Apr 1967, and "1859-1935" on the family chart of 1967. - To be Myles Lyne's child she would have to have been born in 1866 or later: under 15 at her wedding and no more than 69 at death, against all eight statements. - Terese says the first husband left her grandmother "a widow in her earliest twenties" (1967). Margaret was born in 1839 by the family tree, which puts his death about 1859-62, inside the range for Ellen's birth. Against: the 1881 marriage return names her father as "Myles Lyne, Farmer"; she is Ellen Lyne on every record; and her daughter Terese wrote "Mother's father was Myles Lyne" (1967) and "Out of this marriage, my mother was born" (20 Sept 1971). Read here as the family's account of the man who raised her: she was a small child when he married her mother. No baptism entry for Ellen has been found; one would settle it, and is the reason the father is held at 75.

Terese speaks of James; that Ellen was there too is an inference.

The image carries no date; Ancestry's index in the tree dates the sheet 25 Apr 1892 (roll 586, line 39), and the proof fits line 39 and the tally of 46 to it (80). James's clearly written age 4 fits 1887-88, not 1892. That this Ellen is she: 75 (destination Miles City, not Butte).

Vision transcription. 'O A' is the class of worker; the tenure column reads 'R' as it does for the sheet's renters ('O F' for the owner on line 94), so the record's 'Owner' and 'a bigger building she owned at 505 W Galena' are not supported. Street from the margin 'West [Galena?] Street'.
