MRS. MURPHY'S CHAPEL

ON HUBBLE AND FLORENCE THERE'S AN OLD HOUSE ABOUT 100
YEARS OLD. WHEN MARTHA MOVED INTO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THE
NEIGHBORS TOLD HER IT WAS BUILT INTO A CHAPEL BECAUSE
ONE DAY WHILE MRS. MURPHY WAS HANGING HER CLOTHES OUT
SHE HAD A VISION. FOR THIS REASON, HER SON HAD THE
CHAPEL BUILT.

Submitter comment: THIS STORY GOES AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN
SOMEONE NEW MOVES IN.
