17 linear feet of shelf space
John T. Murphy (1842-1914) was a Helena, Montana, merchant,
rancher, banker, and mine investor. Collection (1865-1935) includes correspondence,
financial records, legal documents and other material of Murphy, the Murphy Estate, and
various companies he founded, including the Powder River Land and Cattle Company, Montana
Cattle Company (Seventy-Nine Ranch), and the Murphy-Maclay Hardware Company.

John T. Murphy was born on a farm in Platte County, Missouri, on February 2, 1842, the
first of two children of William S. and Amelia Tyler Murphy. John helped his father on the
farm and attended a private school until the age of 17 when he set out on his own. Murphy
joined the Colorado gold rush, but as a merchant, not a miner. For the first year and a
half, he was a clerk in a Denver store. He then moved to Nevada City, Colorado, where he
opened his own store. With profits from this operation and with experience gained from a
brief employment with Ben Holliday's Express, Murphy bought several teams and wagons, and
returned east for goods. He made several trips to Colorado
In 1864 brought a wagon train of supplies to the new Montana Territory mining town of
Virginia City. He did so well financially with this first trip that the following spring he
brought another wagon train to Montana, this time to Helena by way of steamer to Fort
Benton. With these goods, he took on two partners and established the firm of Tutt, Murphy
and Neel. This mercantile house, under the later name of Murphy, Neel and Company,
established branch stores at Fort Benton and Deer Lodge. Like most of the successful
mercantile men of the period, Murphy diversified his holdings. He expanded his interests
into mining, banking, stockraising, and Florida citrus crops. It was in stockraising,
however, that Murphy had his most marked success. His Montana Cattle Company, with its
famous "79" brand, established the Seventynine Ranch in the area between the Yellowstone and
Musselshell rivers south of Ryegate. Initially established as an open range operation, the
"79" was one of the few to successfully make the transition to fenced ranching. Like many
Montana ranchers, Murphy was able to effectively combine cattle and sheep ranching. In the
field of banking, Murphy was one of the organizers of the Helena National Bank in 1890 and
the Montana Savings Bank the next year. Following the death of C.A. Broadwater, Murphy was
chosen president of the Montana National Bank in Helena. Murphy also had mining interests in
Lewis and Clark and Jefferson counties, among them the Poorman, the Jay Gould, the Rumley,
and the Silver Bell mines.
John T. Murphy married Elizabeth T. Morton in 1871. They had four children: William M.,
Frances D., Adelize M., and John T., Jr., all born in Helena in the 1870s. Murphy's wife
died in 1897, and his son William in 1904. A few years after the death of his first wife,
Murphy married Clara Cobb of Providence, Rhode Island. John T. Murphy died May 23, 1914, in
Helena.
This collection consists of correspondence, financial records, legal documents, and other
material relating to John T. Murphy (1860s-1914), to the John T. Murphy Estate (1914-1935),
and to several of the businesses which Murphy established. The correspondence of R.P. Heren,
Charles Wiley, and Matt J. Roke contains much detailed information about the day-to-day
operations of the Murphy ranches. Considerable correspondence also details Murphy's
interests in Florida citrus groves. Another primary correspondent in the collection is
Murphy's secretary, John H. Tucker, who conducted much of the business. In addition,
correspondence for the estate was conducted by Albert L. Smith, trustee, and by Tucker.
Subgroups in the collection include John T. Murphy; John T. Murphy Estate; John T. Murphy,
Jr.; John T. Murphy and Company; Blue Canyon Coal Mining Company/Bellingham Bay and Eastern

Acquisition information available upon request
John T. Murphy and his personal secretary, John H. Tucker, maintained one joint incoming
correspondence file, and its original order has been retained. No effort was made by them to
differentiate among the correspondence of the various enterprises in which they were
involved. In addition, within the file, Murphy's private correspondence was interfiled with
the business correspondence. This has led to certain peculiarities, among them that
correspondence from Murphy to Tucker are filed as incoming correspondence. In the John T.
Murphy Estate subgroup, correspondence was handled somewhat differently: John H. Tucker and
trustee Albert L. Smith maintained separate files from 1914 to 1917, thus necessitating
three separate runs of general correspondence, one each for Smith and Tucker during the
years and one for the estate from 1918 to 1935.
Maps transferred to Library. See inventory below for more information.
