Memoir of Rev.
Ulysses Grant Murphy discussing experiences in Seattle, Japan, Siberia and his
observations about life
Reverend U. G. Murphy (1869-1967) was born in Maryland, five
generations from Ireland and spent 14 years as a missionary in Japan. He worked
in ministry with the Methodist Protestant Church in California for a time in
the San Joaquin Valley after returning from Japan in 1908. Due to his time in
Japan and being able to speak Japanese, he was often asked by the Japanese
association to speak for them when the growing discrimination of Japanese
Americans began in California. Rev. U. G. Murphy died in Seattle in 1967.
Memoir of Rev. Ulysses Grant Murphy titled "My ninety-seven
controversial years" in which he discusses experiences in Seattle, Japan,
Siberia and his observations about life as well as a small booklet from 1889 to
1891 containing newspaper clippings and handwritten notes on sermons printed in
the newspaper and the Temperance Movement.
