George S. Murphey, born September 24, 1846, in Delaware, Ohio, cultivated a rich banking career spanning over four decades. Moving to Iowa at a young age, he gained valuable insights into agriculture before entering banking in 1874. In 1887, he founded the First National Bank of Manhattan, where he showcased his financial acumen as president. A prominent figure in Masonic circles, he remained active in various organizations throughout his life. He married Hattie Franklin in 1872, and their daughter, May, survives him. Murphey’s contributions to banking and community leadership are well noted in Kansas.
