     "Dr. R. B. Murphy, well known Olney physician has announced his candidacy for the office of Richland County Coroner, subject to the Democratic primary in April.
"Dr. Murphy is a graduate of the University of Illinois College of Medicine, class of 1937, where he also completed his pre-medical requirements. He interned at the Cook County Hospital at Chicago from 1937-38, and the following year served as resident physician at the former Olney Sanitarium here. Dr. Murphy later returned to the Cook County Hospital as resident physician in orthopedic and traumatic surgery, dealing with patients whose injuries generally resulted in Coroner's action there.
"He served overseas in the European Theater with the Medical Corps during his military service from 1942 - 1946. In Europe, he was the chief orthopedic surgeon in the army hospital there.
"Following his release from the service he returned to Olney and resumed his practice here. In an interview statement, Dr. Murphy said, "I feel, by the nature of my professional training and experience in traumatic (accidental or intentional wounds and injuries) surgery and because of my acquaintance with Coroner's procedures during my service with the Cook County Hospital, I feel that I am fully qualified for efficient administration of the Richland County Coroner's office.
"Dr. Murphy is married to the former Lois R. [sic] Ridgely of Bonpas township and has seven [sic] adopted children."¹⁵

     "Electronic Voice Greets Patients for Dr. Murphy. --- "This is Dr. Murphy's office. This is his electronic secretary speaking. The doctor is out on calls. If you wish to see him leave your name and telephone number and he will call. Speak after the tone signal."
"The above is what you may hear if you phone Dr. Raymond B. Murphy's office, above Bower Drug Store. Or you may hear three other similar responses to your call, stating where Dr. Murphy is at the time of the call.
"At the end of your message for which 25 seconds is allotted, the pleasant feminine voice thanks you and says goodbye.
"Dr. Murphy installed the electronic secretary yesterday, and it is already proving valuable in assisting the physician in directing messages to him from his patients while he is out of his office. The secretary is especially valuable for calls received in the night as it works on a 24-hour basis. All the caller has to do is phone Dr. Murphy's office number, and the conversation is automatically begun, a record doing the secretary's voice and a wire recorder recording the message from the caller.
"It is the first one of these ingenious machines to be installed here."¹⁶
