Family notes (private; from people.yaml)
The richest candidate Patrick Murphy in the archive so far. Distinguishing details: first name + middle initial "C", brother named (Daniel), Butte miner at St. Lawrence mine, specific death date (1889-11-23), widow living in Dublin Gulch. If the user has independent knowledge that family had a Patrick + Daniel brother pair in Butte 1889, this is likely the man and family_confidence should be promoted (75+ if name+place+date fit, 95+ with independent corroboration). Flagged HIGH for user review.
