Mrs. Columbus MURPHY, one of Rochester's well-known women and until recent years an active charities worker, passed away peacefully Wednesday evening about 7:30 o'clock at the residence on south Elm street, after a long and painful illness of fully a year from the ravages of cancer. The death of Mrs. Murphy takes from the community a fine woman but considering the terrible suffering she had to undergo, it can be regarded in no other way but as a blessing.
Sarah COOK was born in Miami county, Ohio, August 6, 1851, the daughter of John and Eliza COOK. On November 13, 1871 she married Columbus MURPHY and in 1889 the family moved to this city from Denver, Indiana, to make their home. Besides the husband the two children born to this union survive the deceased. They are T. A. MURPHY, of this city and Mrs. L. W. DAVIDSON, of South Bend.
At the time of her death Mrs. Murphy had lived in this city thirty-two years and was aged seventy years and 11 days. The deceased was a member of the Baptist church and took an active part in the work of the church here, teaching a Sunday school class for a number of years.
Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at the Baptist church. Rev. C. S. DAVISSON will preach the sermon. Interment will be made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
