This monument was sponsored by the local power company and erected in 1926 initially. I'm not sure how they determined who had served. You could certainly call the Cohoes government and ask if there are other memorials which may include your grandfather's name.Schalene Dagutishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155315167291741937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562639907997889606.post-24399600910854304312021-11-09T13:24:23.266-05:002021-11-09T13:24:23.266-05:00My grandfather served in WW2, and was a lifelong r...My grandfather served in WW2, and was a lifelong resident of Cohoes.

They moved some monuments from other locations in the city and added some new ones. There is one for World War II that includes a J.E. Murphy. Perhaps this was your father? I'll be publishing photographs and the names on May 17, 2018 as part of my Memorial Day commemoration.Schalene Dagutishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155315167291741937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562639907997889606.post-89093837679141121582018-04-15T19:49:21.728-04:002018-04-15T19:49:21.728-04:00My Dad John Murphy lived on Richmond St. (not sure...My Dad John Murphy lived on Richmond St. (not sure what ward that was).
