Mr. and Mrs. Martin Murphy’s twelve year old son died on last Saturday night and was buried on Monday at the Blair cemetery, Rev. Fr. Killian, of the Catholic church, performing the last sad rites. Only last spring these people lost a daughter, a bright cherry little girl, and this second bereavement in so short a time bears upon them heavily. They have the sympathy of the entire community.

Note: On the Holy Cross listing: Name listed as Dan; born 9 Oct 1875; died 12 Feb 1887; Bur Blk 8 Lot 9 Sp 1. In his mother’s obituary (Mary) his name is listed as Daniel.
