WALTER E. MURPHY, M.D.
Cincinnati, The Queen City, Vol. 3; published in 1912
Transcribed by: Jody Clayburn


Among the specialists in the practice of medicine in Cincinnati who
have won a high standing on
account of eminent ability and are now well established in their life
work should be named Dr. Walter
E. Murphy. He devotes his attention to the treatment of diseases of the
eye, nose, and throat and
during a period of fourteen years has demonstrated his worth. He was
born on a farm in Green
Township, Hamilton County, Ohio, March 3, 1871, a son of George W. and
Edith (Donovan) Murphy.
Reared on the home farm Walter E. Murphy attended the local schools and
later became a student at
Lebanon (Ohio) University under the celebrated Dr. Alfred Holbrook.
After leaving the university he
taught school for three years and then began the study of medicine. He
was graduated from the Miami
Medical College, Cincinnati, in 1897, and during the following three
years was a member of the staff of
the Ophthalmic Hospital in Cincinnati. He is now ophthalmologist and
laryngologist to the Episcopal
Hospital for Children and is associate professor of otology and
laryngology at the Ohio-Miami Medical
College of this city. He has specialized in the treatment of the eye,
nose and throat ever since he began
practice and has met with marked success, being now a recognized
authority on the subjects to which he
devotes his energies. He is a member of the Cincinnati Academy of
Medicine, the Ohio State Medical
Society, the American Medical Association, and is also a member of the
American Academy of
Ophthalmology and Oto-Laryngology.
In 1905 Dr. Murphy was married to Miss Matilda Calhoun, a daughter of
the late Dr. John Wesley
Calhoun of this city. Fraternally he is connected with the Masonic order
and is an earnest advocate of
its principles. From his early manhood he has been a student and
investigator, and his profession has
furnished a steadily broadening field for his talents. His success is
due to a deep interest in his calling,
keen powers of perception and discrimination, and a knowledge as to the
cause and treatment of disease
which he acquired through years of patient observation and study. A man
of irreproachable character,
he has attracted many friends and by a life of true service has proved a
blessing to his fellowmen.
