He had been in failing health for the last two years. Funeral rites will be held at 9:30 Friday morning in St. Mary's Cathedral. Burial will be in a local cemetery. Mr. Murphy was born on May 15, 1884, at New Regal (sic), Ohio, to Mr. and Mrs. Bernard J. Murphy. When he was a child of two, the family moved west and settled in Greeley County. It was there that Mr. Murphy received his education and grew to manhood. He and Miss Josephine F. Farrell were married on July 12, 1910, at O'Connor. They began there home in Greeley. Mr. Murphy was a carpenter and builder there for many years. The family came to Grand Island in 1942. Mr. Murphy was employed as a carpenter's foreman in the construction of the air base and the ordinance plant. Illness caused his retirement in August of 1950.
