It looks like the name changed to Everson.

This has some information about Isabella being born to Jonas' first wife Mary Elizabeth Kline from the Netherlands, so that would narrow down the time frame of the 2nd marriage.
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/167856894/jonas-everson

The coroner records for Mary are here - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-G5NK-7N2?view=index&personArk=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQ23Q-HXKZ&action=view&cc=1402856&lang=en&groupId=  Son William is mentioned on there. 

Mary's obituary mentions sons William and the late Joseph - https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-san-francisco-examiner-obituary-for/175143801/

Thank you for all information I note on coroners report informant a McKenna a relative. I have a very high dna match to a Everson lady whom I have been in contact with but has not managed to locate origins of Mary Murphy in Ireland. Are Marriage records not available in San Francisco?

More recent records are available, but I don't know how much is available from San Francisco from then, if that's where they married.  According to https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/San_Francisco_County,_California_Genealogy - "Courthouse and all records were destroyed in the great earthquake and fire of 1906."

This may be her in 1900, indexed as "Evanson".  Not sure if the neighbouring Murphy family are just a coincidence...
