Brief History of the Farm:
"In the spring of 1888*, Patrick Murphy, a farmer from
New Brunswick, Canada, settled in the Satsop River
Valley near Montesano. Soon After his arrival, Patrick
bought roughly 80 acres of rich loam soil on the banks
of the Chehalis River. Over the next twenty-four years,
Patrick would buy several more acres of property in the area, and build a house which resides approx. four miles east of Montesano. At the time of his death in April of 1912, Patrick would own approximately 258.5 acres. According to his obituary, he died an “aged and greatly
respected rancher”, and left all of his property, including “30 cows, 12 yearling heifers,
12 calves, 1 bull, 3 hogs, 15 pigs, 2 dozen chickens, and $150 dollars’ worth of household
goods” to his wife Mary Murphy."
