Lordo.1 you are correct.
"John Furphy was 22 when he began his blacksmith and wheelwright business in 1864. Born in Moonee Ponds in Melbourne in 1842 to Irish immigrant parents and subsequently raised in the Yarra Valley before the family moved to Kyneton, where he completed an apprenticeship with the firm Hutcheson and Walker, John began operations of his own in Piper St in Kyneton in Central Victoria. This began a business that would continue to flourish and carry his name over 150 years later having employed members of 4 subsequent generations of the Furphy family along with many more. The original business very much revolved around servicing the needs of the small agricultural community of Kyneton and Johns efforts met with success. John would go on to relocate his business and add a foundry to the business and inventing and producing various farm and agricultural implements including one of the most famous items of farm equipment in Australia which would lead to his name becoming part of the Australian language. In addition to this he successfully brought his sons into the partnership which began a succession that has led to this business maintaining family ownership and management today almost 100 years after his death in 1920"

Many have argued that this was a case of their community turning on them unfairly due to his fathers past, while others say that that its an example of the family being born to no-good behavior.
