Two essays of Murphy's recollections and research concerning the South Fork Power and Light Cooperative (Pierce County, Wisconsin), which was established by area farmers in 1919.
The cooperative provided electricity and power to farms along Highways 29E and 35S near River Falls, Wis. Due to the increasing complexity of electrical technology, operations were taken over by the City of River Falls in 1952. One essay contains a sketched map of the area. Also includes brief notes about the first electrical and dairy cooperative in Wisconsin.
