CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Local historian Murphy Givens passed away Sunday at the age of 76.
âHe was such a strong advocate for history. Not only Corpus Christi, Nueces County, the state of Texas, and as far as Iâm concerned, the world.

According to Wemer, Givensâ passing leaves a large hole in the historical community in Corpus Christi.
