. The requiem mass was sung at St. Anthony's Catholic church Wednesday morning for Mrs. Mary Dooley Murphy by the Rev. F.J. Melchiors. Interment took place in the local Catholic cemetery beside the remains of her husband, who passed away thirteen years ago. The Flatley Funeral home was in charge of arrangement. Pallbearers were Messrs. John Dinse, John Van Haren, Albert Konitfifler, Wm. La Brosse, Henry Trapp and Thomas Duffy.

Mrs. Murphy died Saturday afternoon at her home in the town of Morgan, after an illness of three years duration. Her death was caused by infirmities due to her advanced years.

She was born in Quebec, Canada, October 9, 1860 and married there to William Murphy in 1884. They came to this community shortly after their marriage, settling on the farm which has been her home ever since. A faithful communicant of St. Anthony's church, a good neighbor and friend throughout the years, many will long honor the memory of this splendid pioneer mother.

Survivors are four sons, William Jr., Thomas and Henry of Oconto Falls, John, Cincinnati, Ohio as well as three sisters, Mrs. Charles Leivinn, Mrs. Terrence McLaughlin and Mrs. M. Quinn, all of Quebec,
