Family notes (private; from people.yaml)
Recurring Butte AOH figure. Not on the user's associated- families list. Logged because he co-occurs with the Patrick J. Murphy candidate across multiple clippings, suggesting they're in the same Butte Irish-American milieu. Founder of Hennessy Mercantile (the Butte department store the Murphy family worked at across two generations).
