Open questions

Is Patrick J. Murphy here the same person as the Patrick Murphy co-owner of Gregson Hot Springs in 1886 (person_patrick_murphy_butte_gregson_1886)? Both Butte, both Irish-American, three years apart. Possible same man.
Is Patrick J. Murphy here the same person as Patrick Murphy who dies in the Anaconda mine fire 8 months later (Nov 1889)? Two records preserved until evidence consolidates.
James H. Lynch on the Reception Committee — possibly the same James H. Lynch elected Financial Secretary of the Butte INLA in June 1883? Cross-link.
