Nurses Children Until Too Late For Operation
Knowing that if she waited many days longer an operation would prove fatal, Mrs. Thomas Murphy, of Hillsboro, fought against illness as she remained at her home to care for her little ones who wee recovering from a severe case of whooping cough, and died at the Hillsboro hospital at 11 o'clock Saturday morning after physicians had declared that she waited so long that nothing could be done to save her.
Leo Murphy, 7, and his little brother, Emmett, 2, had been seriously ill with whooping cough for two weeks. Mrs. Murphy herself had been in a grave condition with appendicitis and physicians insisted that she go to the hospital at once to undergo an operation. Such was her unselfish devotion to her children that she refused to leave them. Friday afternoon, when she could no longer be of any help because of her own suffering, she gave up and was taken to the hospital, where she was placed on the operating table the following morning. Surgeons then found that she had delayed too long.
With her older children at the bedside, and the two little one for whom she had given her life, lying ill at home, she died about an hour before noon, Saturday.
Mrs. Murphy had been a member of St. Agnes Catholic church for many years, and was one of the most faithful members. She came here with her husband from Corning, O., in August of 1906. Her parents were Leonard and Anna E. (Vosler) Vonderlock, native of Germany, and Anna K. (Voster) Vonderlock, natives of Germany, and Anna Mary Vonderlock was born in Dasseldorf, Germany, January 25, 1883. The family came to America in 1885 and the parents died a few years later. On May 1, 1902 Miss Vonderlock married Thomas Murphy and they came to Hillsboro in 1906 where the latter began work in the old mine.
There are seven children; Lawrence, Thomas, Regina, Kathleen, Margaret, Leo, and Emmett. The oldest is Lawrence, 20, and all of them live at the home in Hillsboro. Mrs. Murphy also leaves a sister, Mrs. Henry Eickel, of Corning, O., and a brother, Herman Vonderlock, of Kincaid.
Father Heslin celebrated requiem high mass at 9:30 Monday morning at St. Agnes Catholic church, and interments was made in the St. Agnes cemetery.
Because one of the relatives did not arrive until Monday afternoon, the body rested in state from the time of the service in the morning, until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the interment was made. Pall bearers were Louis Spinner, Carl Ludwig, Anthony Schindler, Ferdinand Schaubert, Edward Clark and George Huber.
