"Eaglehurst," the old home of Colonel Murdock at the corner of Murdock and St. Francis, is to be rented. It is a part of the estate of the late Victoria Murdock and has been unoccupied since she died nearly a year and a half ago. It was thought her daughter, Mrs. Paul Eaton, would occupy it, but instead, she has built a handsome house of her own in College Hill. Wichita Beacon, May 6, 1916, page 6.
