BLANCHE MULL

Drivers Freed of Any Blame 
A short form inquest into the death of Mrs. William Mull, 47, 1313A South 18th 
street, who died at the Holy Family hospital Sunday of accident injuries received 
Aug. 6, was held in Dist. Atty, John Danielson’s office Tuesday and both drivers 
were absolved of any blame.
Mrs. Mull sustained fatal injuries when cars driven by her husband and Gilbert 
Dorschner, Appleton, collided at the intersection of county Trunk D and the town 
road, two miles west of 141. 
The short form inquest, newly authorized by the state legislature, permits the 
coroner to hear the inquest himself and make the decision in the case.
The coroner’s verdict was that “neither driver is guilty of criminal negligence.”
County Traffic Offices Henry Pleuss and Clarence Meihsner reported that the Mull 
car was traveling north on the town road and the Dorscher vehicle west on county 
trunk D.

SUDDEN DEATH.-We are called upon this week to chronicle the sudden death of Mrs. 
Jane Leneville Mulligan, of Oconto, on the 25th of May. Her death resulted from 
eating wild parsnips, which she mistook for artichokes. Soon after eating them 
she was taken with spasms, and died in about an hour. Had it not been for the 
fact that the rest of the family were out somewhere the probabilities are that 
all would have partaken. She leaves a husband and one child. The funeral took

ALBERT MUNDT

TWO ACCIDENTS IN ONE DAY, THEN DEATH TO MUNDT 
Apparently Uninjured in Fall, Youth Dies After Motorcycle Spill
Two accidents within a twelve hour period resulted in the death of Albert Mundt, 
South Tenth street man at the Holy Family hospital at 2 o’clock Sunday morning 
after he had been a patient at the institution for exactly twenty-four hours. 
Death is believed to have been due to a ruptured liver or injury to the wall of 
the heart. The condition of the patient was too serious to permit the taking of 
Xray pictures at any time Saturday and while he showed some improvement early 
Saturday evening a turn for the worse came at 1 o’clock and he sank steadily 
until death occurred at 2 o’clock.
Mundt, who has been employed by the Canning company for the last six years, fell 
from one of the viners at the Hiller farm on the river road Friday afternoon. He 
fell a distance of sixteen feet and struck on his back. Apparently uninjured at 
the moment he later in the day complained of pains in his back and chest and at 
the home of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Broeker, with whom he stayed, 
mentioned the accident of the afternoon and said that he feared he had been more 
seriously hurt than he had at first thought. He had accepted an invitation to a 
birthday anniversary party at the Heller farm near Valders and with other young 
men started for Valders shortly after supper. 
Motorcycle Ditched.
It was on the return from the party, which had included a barn dance, that the 
second accident occurred. A point a short distance west of Silver Lake, Mundt 
who had Lester Orlopp and Roy Karkow with him in the side car of his motorcycle, 
turned around to see how far behind him the other motorcycle was. Just exactly 
what occurred no one knows but it has been established that the front wheel of 
the motorcycle struck a large stone in the loose gravel, the wheel of the sidecar 
probably also hit the same stone when the bike was jerked around and went into 
the ditch. Mundt and his passengers were hurled from the machine and Orlopp and 
Karkow, who were unhurt, found Mundt unconscious, lying near a culvert at the 
scene of the accident. The motorcycle which was following Mundt arrived on the 
scene immediately after the accident, having been only a half mile behind, and 
Mundt was lifted into the sidecar to rush him to the hospital here. He regained 
consciousness enroute and complained of chest and back pains again. The arrival 
at the hospital was made at 2 o’clock Saturday morning.
Condition Found Serious.
At the hospital physicians who were hurriedly summoned, found Mundt to be in a bad 
way. His pulse was high and he was running a temperature. His condition continued 
grave all day Saturday but early Saturday evening his pulse had been reduced and 
he had only a slight temperature. He was apparently resting easily. At 1 o’clock 
there was an alarming turn for the worse and Mundt never rallied, death occurring 
at 2 o’clock Sunday morning.
Mundt’s sister, Miss Elsie Mundt is a nurse at the hospital and while he mentioned 
his fall of the afternoon to her he failed to make a report to the doctor of the 
afternoon accident. He was not certain whether he had struck the culvert or not 
and had no explanation of the accident to his motorcycle. He said he had been t
raveling along at about twenty-five miles an hour and had shut off the power to look 
around for the other motorcycle which was following him when he struck loose gravel 
and the accident happened. 
Former Mishicot Boy.
Albert Mundt was born at Mishicot May 4, 1893 and was twenty-five years old. The 
family removed to this city shortly after his birth and he has always since made 
his home here. His mother died a number of years ago. He is survived by his father 
and three sisters, the Misses Elsie and Irene of this city and Mrs. Martin Degues 
of Sheboygan.
The funeral will be held from the Broeker home tomorrow afternoon at 2 o’clock, the 
Rev. Karl Machmiller officiating. Members of the motorcycle club of which Mundt was 
a member, will act as the pall bearers and the funeral cortege will be led by a group 
of riders. Burial will be at Evergreen cemetery.

CAPT. JOSEPH MUNGER

DROPS DEAD ON STREET
Capt. Joseph Munger Stricken Down Late This Afternoon by Heart Disease
BEEN AILING LONG TIME
Not Thought There Was Any Danger—Had Been Home But Two Days—
Wife And Two Children Mourn Sad Affliction
Captain Joseph Munger, for years in the service of the Goodrich 
Transportation Company, died suddenly at 8:15 this afternoon. While 
walking on Commercial street, he was stricken with heart failure and 
died before medical assistance could be rendered him. The body was 
removed ot the home on North Fifth street. Capt. Munger had been in 
failing health for some time, although no immediate danger was 
anticipated. He arrived in the city Wednesday in command of the steamer 
Atlanta, and was to have taken the boat out tonight. 
During the season of navigation he had been on the east shore route and 
this was his first trip home in several months. Deceased was about 50 
years of age and had been a resident of this city for a number of years. 
A wife and two daughters survive him.

BROUGHT DEEP SORROW
Did Announcement of the Sudden Death of Captain Joseph Munger Friday
ON THE LAKES MANY YEARS
Had Been in Service of Goodrich Transportation Co. Since 1894—
Home on Visit of Two Days When He Was Called
A sadness such as falls upon the heart only when the sighs of death 
whisper an earthly farewell as some spirits frail bark puts off into 
the unknown dark, came to the friends of the late Capt. Joseph Munger 
when the announcement of his sudden demise went abroad Friday. The 
circumstances surrounding the death are sad and a widespread and 
heartfelt sympathy is awakened for the bereaved family so unexpectedly 
called upon to mourn. Separated from his wife and children many months 
by the duties of his employment he was but Wednesday privileged to 
visit them and after a visit of scarcely two days, is called away for 
all time. Anticipated felicity in the possibility of frequent home 
visits from him, is now turned to sorrow in his death. Truly it is an 
unpitying decree of fate and a vivid illustration of the uncertainty 
of human life. 
For more than two years, Mr. Munger had been in failing health, but 
immediate danger was unthought of by his friends. About a month ago he 
contracted a cold and when he came home and was quite ill although not 
sufficiently so to take to his bed. On the day of his death he was about 
town and complained of pain in his chest. At 8 o’clock he was at the 
Goodrich docks and while on his way up town from there, was stricken 
with the attack which resulted in his death. On Commercial street at 
the corner of Seventh, he grew faint and rested on the stoop of Svacina’s 
hotel. Passerby noticed that something was amiss and assisted him into 
the house, summoning a physician with all haste. The patient revived 
somewhat after entering the hotel, but soon lapsed into unconsciousness 
and when medical aid arrived was beyond the power of earthly assistance 
although every means was used to instill life. 
Joseph Munger, the subject of this sketch was born in Louis county, N.Y. 
forty eight years ago and came with his parents to Wisconsin in early 
youth. At the age of eighteen he launched into life for himself and 
followed the lakes from that time until his death. On December 17, 1876 
he was married to the wife who survives him and in 1888 the family took 
up their residence here, where they have since resided. For a number of 
years Capt. Munger was on the barge Francis Hinton, owned here, and in 
1894 entered the employ of the Goodrich Transportation Company and has 
since been in command of the steamers Sheboygan, Chicago and Atlanta of 
that line. Decedent was a man widely known and highly respected not alone 
in his resident city, but by the many with whom he came in contact in his 
work. He was a conscientious employee and an efficient officer, commanding 
the esteem of the company in whose service his death occurred. In his 
private relations as husband, father, brother and friend he was loyal, 
affectionate and kind and to many who knew him intimately his death will 
bring a keen sorrow in a sense of personal loss. In his home, the deceased, 
found his chief enjoyment and he sought to make it everything the word 
implied. The welfare of his family was his chief ambition and in the hour 
of death, when the shadows shrouded his vision his last thought was to the 
loved ones left behind. Besides a wife, two daughters, Eva and Georgia, one 
sister, Mrs. M. Gano of DePere and one brother, Chas. Munger of Waushara, 
survive him. An aged mother, 68 years of age, residing at DePere is also 
alive, but the shock of her son’s death has laid her low and it is feared 
will prove her death. The funeral will be held from the late home on North 
Fifth street, Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock.

his grave to await the resurrection morn. The last solemn ceremonies were 
performed this afternoon, the funeral held from the home on North Fifth 
street being largely attended. Rev. Houton? of the M.E. church made brief 
remaks paying eloquent tribute to the life of the departed and Rev. 
Johnston offered prayer. The casket was almost hidden from view by the

were conducted in accordance with the ritual of the order. Interment took

B. F. Murphy, Who Died in Arizona, Manitowoc Resident in 50's
The announcement of the death of B. F. Murphy, which occurred at 
Prescott, Arizona, Thursday, was received with regret by many 
friends among the older residents of the city, Mr. Murphy having 
spent many years in Manitowoc, during the early days. He located 
in Manitowoc county, at Cato in 1855 and later came to this city, 
where he was at one time chosen marshal, and was quite prominent.
Mr. Murphy was born at Waterbury, Me., 83 years ago and his early 
life was spent in that state. Later he traveled extensively until 
taking up his home in Wisconsin, where he resided until enlisting 
in the army during the civil war. Returning here he remained some 
few years, and then removed with his family to California and later 
to Arizona. His wife died years ago and was buried at Evergreen 
cemetery in this city.
Deceased was the father of seven children, six of whom survive him. 
They are N.O. Murphy, present governor of the state of Arizona, 
Henry and Frank, of Prescott, the latter being president of Sante 
Fe, Prescott & Phoenix R.R. Co., Mrs. Ida Stevens, Mrs. Hollister, 
Bristol, Wis., and Mrs. F. Lane, Kenosha. The body will be brought 
here for interment, probably arriving Monday.

CHARLOTTE FLYNN MURPHY

Mrs. M. H. Murphy passed away at her home on North Fourth street Wednesday 
morning. For four years she has been struggling with disease that slowly 
brought on her end. Her maiden name was Charlotte Flynn. She was born in 
the town of Two Creeks in this county 57 years ago. Her ancestors were Scotch-
Irish and her father was a member of a Hudson Bay exploring party in his early 
years and a pioneer settler in this county. Her school education was acquired 
at Two Rivers and Chicago and for some time she taught school in this county. 
In 1878 she was married to M. H. Murphy who with three sons, Francis, Henry 
and Clement, all of this city, survive.
No person who ever came in contact with Mrs. Murphy could be other than her 
friend and admirer. Her heart was large enough to embrace all humanity. Her 
sympathy went out instantly to distress in any form without question of its 
cause and with no attempt to appraise the worth of the distressed. Her charity 
asked no questions but need. Her intellectual and artistic gifts were kept in 
the background by an innate modesty that charmed. Mrs. Murphy had a gift of 
real poetry. A volume of her collected verses entitled "Whispers of the Sea" 
published two years ago evoked praise from many competent quarters. She was 
engaged in preparing another volume when her illness prevented its completion. 
In her earlier days she also produced some canvasses that displayed talent. 
She was almost idolized by countless friends in all walks of life who found 
her winning personality irresistibly attractive.
Her family, who lived in an ideal home atmosphere of her making, have the 
sympathy of the community. The recollection of her heroic struggle with disease 
and her serene departure not to mention a beautiful and full life is inspiring.
The funeral will be held Friday morning from Sacred Heart Church.

TEARS AND FLOWERS BESPEAK SORROW OF FRIENDS AT THE BURIAL OF MRS. M.H. MURPHY
Beautiful Floral Tributes and Presence of Many Friends Testify 
to Esteem in Which She Was Held
Silent tears mingled with the perfume of flowers voiced the sorrow of 
friends assembled to pay tribute and reverence to the memory of the late 
Mrs. M.H. Murphy at the burial services held from Sacred Heart Catholic 
church this morning. It was an eloquent tribute to a life whose passing 
had brought sorrow and a keen sense of personal loss to a large proportion 
of the city's people and of sympaty for the bereaved family.
The church edifice was unable to accommodate the many who, despite a storm, 
attended and the funeral cortege which accompanied the remains to Evergreen 
was a large one.
At the church Rev. Father O'Leary assisted by Rev. McDonald of Maple Grove 
and Rev. Schadhauer, this city, officiated at Requiem high mass. The casket 
was buried beneath many floral offerings.
Hearts that had love in them had lined the grave at Evergreen while all about 
the final resting place of the dead, flowers and evergreens had been strewn. 
Brief services were held at the graveside and the casket was lowered under a 
covering of beautiful flowers leaving to friends but a cherished memory of 
her whose life had been marked by helpfulness and uplift for all with whom 
she came in contact and whose memory will be an incentive to nobler things.
Many of of the town friends were present for the funeral and flowers came 
from far distant points, the floral tributes being beautiful. Richard Nyhagen, 
of Chicago, attended the funeral as representative of the Chicago offices of 
the American Seating company and Mr. Briggs of Milwaukee, was present from the 
company's offices in that city. Delegations from fraternal orders with which 
the family are affilitated were in attendance with the large concourse of 
friends.

In the attempt to put into works an appreciation of Mrs. Murphy's character, 
the pen falters and stops. Her artistic temperment was expressed in verse 
containing beautiful poetic imagery and literary merit which received the 
approval of great literary critics and in paintings into which she poured 
thoughts that will live after her. Had she devoted her life to either art she 
would have achieved distinction but she employed them only as she found time 
in the work of a busy and ideal home life devoted to her family. Two years ago, 
she passed weeks of her illness in collecting and arranging some of her poems 
which were then published in a volume entitled, "Whispers of the Sea". Among 
the many messages praising these poems was an autographed portrait of Pope Pius 
with words of warm praise for the work.
The decedent was averse to having a likeness of herself taken during the last 
years of her life and when some time ago it became known that there was no hope 
for recovery, a picture was sought but none was available other than the one 
which is printed herewith. It shows the decedent at an earlier age but those who 
knew her will remember and cherish the likeness even though it was not of a 
recent date.
But in the time of her passing, no friends thinks of her scholarly attainments, 
her natural poetic muse or her beloved art. The overwhelming feeling is the 
sense of the void left by the going of a friend, of humanity of one whose charity 
of thought, word and deed was no universal that it became almost a local proverb. 
Her sweet character compelled love. She was utterly indifferent to any causes or 
conditions of distress. Her leave taking really begun two years ago but during 
the many months when friends and her dear ones saw her fading, only the Christian 
fortitude and hope that had always been hers bore her up and to the last she 
maintained "the faith that passeth all understanding". The last days were marked 
with suffering and it is one of the sad circumstances of life that these things 
should be. When hope had been spent and the end was patiently waited for, it was 
hard indeed for the family to witness the final struggle of body and soul in their 
severance.
In summing up the life of the decedent there is no place for empty platitudes for 
hers was a character that was worthy of emulation and of which nothing too generous 
can be said. Many the home that knew her charity and many the soul who today is 
breathing a prayer in requiem as a small offering for kindnesses. A devout Roman 
Catholic, she has always been closed identified with the well being of the church. 
And in this connection she reared her family as only a Christian mother can. A 
bright and cheerful life has passed away. Always having something pleasant and 
helpful to say, the decedent was truly a helpmate in the highest sense, one of 
God's noble women.
While we could console with the bereaved family in its irreparable loss and testify 
to a sense of personal bereavements, the feeling is generally expressed that the 
world is better for her having been in it and all are grateful for the good example 
that she has left behind and in humble reverence say: "The Lord gave and the Lord 
has received. Blessed be the name of the Lord."
The dominant spirit of Mrs. Murphy's life has been an ideal mother and this she 
carried out in her life's work. In her collection of thoughts in "Whispers of the 
Sea", are many gems that revealed this in no uncertain way. One of these is the 
classic so fitting to close the pages of her life that it is here appended.
A lengthy poem titled "The Soul's Adieu" ends the article.

CLEMENT WILLIAM MURPHY

DEATH OF C.C. MURPHY GREAT SHOCK
OVERCOME BY GAS WHILE AT WORK ON CAR
Monoxide Gas Causes Death of Well Known Business Man
Life's uncertainty and its tragedy was brought home to Manitowoc today 
in a most startling manner when announcement was made of the death of 
Clement C. Murphy, manager of the American Seating Works and one of the 
best known young business men of the city. Mr. Murphy's death was due 
to monoxide poisoning and occurred in the garage at his home 315 Park 
street shortly after 6 o'clock this morning, the body being found on 
the seat of the automobile, the engine of which was running. The closed 
doors and the gas filled garage told the story of tragedy.
News of the death came as a great shock and friends were loath to accept 
the report. Mr. Murphy had attended the meeting of the Rotary Club at the 
Elks last night and had returned home shortly after 8 and was in excellent 
health and spirit and the report of his death was all but unbelievable, 
but it was all too true.
How Tragedy Happened
Mr. Murphy had visited the garage early this morning, leaving the house 
at 5:30 to change a tire on his machine and to do some other minor repair 
work, having announced his intention upon retiring last evening when he 
found that tires he had sent out for repairs, had been returned to the 
garage. Shortly after 6 the maid at the Murphy home noticed that lights 
were burning in the garage and not being informed that Mr. Murphy had left 
the house, visited the garage for purpose of turning out the lights. The 
doors were closed and the girl noted the smell of gas and failed in her 
effort to open the door and decided to return to the house and summon Mr. 
Murphy. Upon discovering that he was not in his room and had left the house, 
she made another visit to the garage and succeeded in opening the door but 
was driven back by the gas. Hurrying to the house she advised Mrs. Murphy 
and after failing to get neighbors by telephone, she phoned the police.
Responding to the call Officers Dueno and Christiansen went to the Murphy 
home and upon entering the garage which the open door had somewhat cleared 
of gas, found Mr. Murphy in the seat of the auto, life extinct. The pulmotor 
was used in an effort to resuscitate him but with no results and it is 
believed that he had been dead some time before the body was found in the 
car.
Unable to Get Out of Car
It is believed that after making the change of a tire, which was evident, 
Mr. Murphy had started the engine with intention of warming up the machine 
before opening the doors of the garage. He had evidently been overcome by 
the gas and, possibly, realizing too late his danger, had attempted to get 
out of the machine, this being indicated by the fact that the body was not 
found in the seat at the wheel but on the other side, near the door of the 
car. The automobile is a closed car and Mr. Murphy may have succumbed while 
he was endeavoring to get the door open in order to open the garage.
Physicians who were summoned pronounced life extinct and said that the 
poison of the gas fumes had affected the lungs and heart.
Was Well Known Business Man
Clement Murphy, a son of the late M.H. Murphy, was one of the best known 
young business men of the city and was a native of Manitowoc having been 
born here September 1, 1884, being in his fortieth year at his death. He 
attended the local schools and later studied at Fordam, New York, and upon 
completing his education, remained for some time in New York where his 
parents were then located. In 1903 he became associated with the American 
Seating company in its Chicago offices where he remained until 1906 when 
he came to Manitowoc and later was superintendent of the local plant, of 
which his father was in charge. Less than two years ago Mr. Murphy was made 
general manager of the company here and was making rapid advancement.
Mr. Murphy had taken a prominent part in civic affairs of the city and was 
an active member of the Rotary Club, the Elks, the Knights of Columbus and 
of the Country Club and was a man of progressive type who gave his effort 
to advancement of any cause that might be of benefit to his community. Mr. 
Murphy was married in 1916 to Harriet Bleser, who died in 1920, leaving 
one son, John aged 5, who survives. In 1923 Mr. Murphy remarried, his bride 
being Catherine Rowlands, of Sheboygan, who survives.
Father Died Recently
Less than a year ago death claimed Mr. Murphy's father, whose end was 
sudden, due to a heart attack. Besides his wife and son Mr. Murphy is 
survived by two brothers, F.X. Murphy of this city and Henry Murphy, of 
Greensboro, N.C. 
Francis Murphy was absent from the city at time of the tragedy, being a 
member of the federal grand jury which is in session at Milwaukee, but he 
will return this afternoon, having been excused upon word of his brother's 
death. Henry Murphy will reach here from North Carolina Thursday morning.
Funeral on Thursday?
In event of the arrival of Henry Murphy Thursday morning the burial will 
probably be held at 9 o'clock that morning at Sacred Heart church, although 
definite arrangements have not been completed.

FRANCIS XAVIER MURPHY

F.X. Murphy, Area Historian, Dies at Age 84 
A lifetime of interests ranging from politics to harness racing to Manitowoc 
County history was concluded at 12:23 p.m. Thursday when Francis X Murphy, 84, 
died at Holy Family Hospital here.
He had been in the hospital about a month. Death came on the 57th anniversary 
of his marriage—June 18, 1907—to the former Eva S. Greeley at St. Rose Roman 
Catholic Church, Racine.
Born at Manitowoc Jan. 1, 1880, Mr. Murphy was a son of the late Michael and 
Charlotte Flynn Murphy who themselves had been born in Manitowoc County.
His maternal grandparents, in fact, settled in the Manitowoc County area in the 
early 1800s, having immigrated to the U.S. from Ireland by way of Canada.
Mother Was Artist 
His paternal grandparents came to this area also from Ireland following the Irish 
“potato famine” around the 1850s by way of Steubenville, Ohio.
Mr. Murphy’s mother was an artist and writer of note, having had her art work 
hung in the Chicago Art Institute and publishing privately a book of her writings, 
poetry and essays, entitled, “Whispers of the Sea”, the sea being Lake Michigan.
His father was professor of Greek at the University of Dublin before immigrating.
Mr. Murphy’s deep interest in history and his writing skills, therefore, came both 
by natural and environmental avenues. He wrote a series of articles on Manitowoc 
County history for this newspaper which ran from 1952 until 1959. 
A member of the Manitowoc County Historical Society, he was considered an authority 
on early Manitowoc history.
Racing His Hobby 
Harness racing (trotting and pacing) was a lifetime hobby of his. He loved and lived 
it, his many friends said. His father and mother both did as well.
In a former column of this newspaper called “Hobby-ettes,” this observation about 
Mr. Murphy appears:
“The curious part” about his harness racing interest is that he “scarcely ever drove 
the team of family high steppers which in their day were remembered for beauty, grace 
and speed.
“He never sat behind the racer which at one time graced the Murphy stables on North 
Fourth Street. He knew just how fast the sire of Dan Patch trotted (or was it paced?) 
in the year umpty ump.
“He could tell you off hand the records of all the fast ones from Nancy Hanks down to 
the two-minute fellows. But as for driving, he left that to his brother Henry…”
Interested in Politics. 
Always interested in politics, he was a Democrat all his life. In 1942, he was named 
chairman of the Manitowoc County Democratic Party, in which he was active for many 
years.
Following his graduation from the former North Side High School here, he attended 
Georgetown University, Washington, D.C., and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, 
the early part of this century.
While at the latter university, he was a member of the Beta Theta Pi, a social 
fraternity.
After leaving the UW, he lived at Buffalo, N.Y., where he worked in the branch office 
of the former American Seating Co. of Manitowoc, a manufacturer of church furniture, 
of which his father was superintendent.
He became associated in 1906 with the Manitowoc Land and Fuel Co. following its 
organization, serving as secretary-treasurer and retiring in 1959.
Funeral Services. 
A past grand knight of the Knights of Columbus, Mr. Murphy was a member of the Holy 
Name Society of Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
Surviving are his wife of 824 N. Sixth St., a son, Francis X. Murphy Jr., of Roswell, 
N.M., a daughter, Miss Margaret Murphy, of Green Bay, four grandchildren and three 
great grandchildren. Two brothers predeceased him.
Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home and 
at 10:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church, the Rev. Richard Gilsdorf of Sacred Heart 
Seminary, Oneida, officiating. Burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery.
Friends may call at the funeral home where the Rosary will be recited at 7:30 o’clock 
this Friday evening.

HARRIETT MURPHY

COMPLICATIONS FOLLOWING FLU ATTACK FATAL
Mrs. C.W. Murphy Dies After Long Battle for Life
Death claimed Mrs. Clement W. Murphy, nee Harriet Bleser, at the home on So. 
Eighth street yesterday afternoon, ending an unequal battle of several months 
for life waged by Mrs. Murphy. Apparently improving from an attack which had 
undermined her system, Mrs. Muryphy was believed to be assured of restoration 
to health when she suffered an attack of influenza last fall and complications 
resulting caused death yesterday.
The death of Mr. Murphy will awaken a deep sympathy in the community where she 
was well known and beloved. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.B. Bleser and 
was born here 37 years ago and had always made her home in Manitowoc. At ending 
the local schools, she graduated from the South Side high school and a few 
years ago became the bride of Mr. Murphy.
Several months ago her health began to fail but hope was entertained for her 
recovery until she suffered from an attack of inluenza and complications 
developed. Mrs. Murphy's condition became gradually worse and day by day the 
effects of the insidious disease was apparent in her growing weakness until 
death released her.
Mrs. Murphy is survived by her husband and baby son, and by her father Daniel B. 
Bleser, one sister, Mrs. Emil Sixta and two brothers, Daniel C. Bleser and Elmer 
Bleser. Mrs. Murphy was popular in social circles of the city, in which she was 
active until health failed, and she possessed attributes that won admiration and 
devotion of her friends.
Funeral services will be held from St. Boniface church Saturday morning.

HENRY E. MURPHY

H. E. MURPHY DIES IN NORTH CAROLINA 
PNEUMONIA CLAIMS FORMER CITY RESIDENT 
Brother of F.X. Murphy Passes Away After Short Illness, At Age of 51 Years 
News of the death of Henry E. Murphy, former Manitowoc man, at Greensboro, 
North Carolina, where he had made his home in recent years, was received here 
this morning by relatives and came as a great shock. Mr. Murphy’s death was 
due to pneumonia, which developed from an attack of grippe, and was wholly 
unexpected here as it was not known that his condition was at all serious.
Mr. Murphy, who was a brother to F.X. Murphy, a manager of the Land and Fuel 
Company, resided here up to twelve years ago and visited in the city last summer 
for a brief stay. Since leaving Manitowoc he had returned only infrequently but 
retained a host of friends in the city.
A Native of This City 
Fifty-one years of age, Mr. Murphy was a native of this city, having been born 
July 27, 1881, in the home located on property which is now the site occupied 
by the court house. He was a son of the late M.H. Murphy, former sheriff, and 
received his education in the local schools, at Georgetown university and later 
at the University of Wisconsin from which he graduated with the class of 1902.
Following his graduation Mr. Murphy became interested in road building and paving 
and concrete work and was the founder of the Murphy Construction Company of this 
city, later known as the Schuette Construction Co. He established a plant for 
manufacture of cement blocks and was successful in business here. Twelve years 
ago he accepted a position with the White Construction Co., builders of asphalt 
pavements, and located in Arkansas as state representative of the company and 
directed operations on a large scale in that state. Later Mr. Murphy became 
associated with the Murray Construction Co. in North Carolina and established a 
home at Greensboro, that state where the family has resided for years. In late 
years Mr. Murphy has been connected with the Southern Paving Construction Company 
which has built many highways through the South and was with the company when 
death came to him.
Married 25 Years Ago 
Mr. Murphy was married to Meta Schmitz, Milwaukee, daughter of A.J. Schmitz, former 
local attorney, twenty-five years ago, the couple having observed their silver 
anniversary last fall. Mrs. Murphy, with two adopted children William and Mary 
survive, with one brother Francis X. Murphy, of this city.
It is not known whether the body of Mr. Murphy will be brought there for burial 
or whether the interment will be at the home at Greensboro. The messages received 
did not announce funeral arrangements but word is expected later today.
Mrs. Murphy had on Saturday been advised of the death of Dr. W. G. Kemper, her 
uncle here, but had wired she could not attend the funeral because of Mr. Murphy’s 
illness. Today came the message telling of his death.

JOHN A. MURPHY    (d. 1923)

JOHN A. MURPHY, "UNCLE JOHN;" IS CALLED TO REST
Death of Pioneer Came As He Talked With Friends
John A. Murphy, pioneer resident of Manitowoc county and for more than twenty 
years engaged in business in this city, died suddenly at his home on New York 
avenue last evening, following an attack which he suffered while conversing 
with friends who were at the home for the evening. Mr. Murphy, although he had 
been failing for several months, appeared in his usual health last night and 
was in good spirits and was visiting with callers when he suddenly collapsed 
and passed away within a short time. Death was due a second stroke of apoplexy, 
Mr. Murphy having suffered a previous attack several months ago from which he 
had never fully recovered.
Funeral services for Mr. Murphy will be held Monday morning, with services at 
Sacred Heart church at 9, the Rev. W. J. Luby officiating. Burial will be at 
Evergreen.
Native of Ohio
John Augustus Murphy was a native of Ohio, having been born at Steubenville, 
that state, May 14, 1850, nearly seventy-three years ago. With his parents, Mr. 
and Mrs. Michael Murphy, he came to Wisconsin in 1852, and since that time had 
been a resident here. The family located in Cato, where Mr. Murphy spent his 
boyhood and early life on the farm. Twenty-seven years ago Mr. Murphy and his 
wife, nee Mary Savage, after eighteen years on the farm in Cato, removed to this 
city, where Mr. Murphy engaged in business, being associated with Fred Vogelsang, 
furniture dealers and undertakers.
The firm, which was located in the Werencke & Schmitz block for years, later 
removed to Eighth and Franklin street, and seven years ago Mr. Murphy disposed of 
his interest in the business to Mr. Vogelsang and retired. Later he engaged in the 
real estate business which he continued up to the time of his illness some months 
ago. Although he had never recovered from the attack suffered last summer, Mr. 
Murphy had been about and a daily visitor down town until the past two or three 
weeks.
Served on Co. Board.
Mr. Murphy had always taken an active interest in public affairs and for several 
years represented the town of Cato on the county board, being elected in 1886. He 
was an active member of the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Knights of Wisconsin, 
Catholic Foresters and was a member of the local lodge of Elks.
Mr. Murphy was familiarly known to a large circle of friends as "Uncle John" and 
his death will be keenly felt by all who were privileged to know him. He was a big-
hearted, kindly man, who attracted and held friends and in the neighborhood where 
he resided, he was popular with the children-a fact that is a true barometer of the 
real character of a man.
Besides his widow, Mr. Murphy is survived by three brothers, Michael H. of this city, 
Jeremiah and William of Minneapolis, and one sister, Mrs. Mary Brennan.

LEONA MURPHY

Nurse Killed in Road Crash; County Toll Climbs to Five
Mrs. Murphy Killed Instantly on Highway 151
Apparently Fell Asleep Prior to Culvert Collision
Silver Lake- Mrs. Leona Vetting Murphy, 39, a registered nurse, was 
killed instantly early Friday when her automobile crashed into a 
culvert on Highway 151 about two miles west of here.
Her death was the second traffic fatality reported in Manitowoc County 
within a week and the fifth so far in 1959. There were also five road 
deaths at this time a year ago. George C. Stehling, 25, of Milwaukee, 
died in the wreckage of his sports car which skidded into a power pole 
at Mishicot late Saturday night.
Mrs. Murphy, employed in the offices of Doctors William and Robert 
Randolph at 1119 Marshall St.. Manitowoc, apparently fell asleep at the 
wheel while driving alone to her home located about a mile west of the 
accident scene. Evidence indicated that the car gradually ran off the 
left side of the highway for about 100 yards before striking the culvert 
at an angle.
Side Sheared off
The impact sheared off the left side of the 1956 model Chevrolet two door 
sedan and hurled the driver into the rear section, county traffic police 
said. After bouncing off the culvert, the vehicle skidded another 55 feet 
and came to rest sideways in the westbound traffic lane.
Dr. Theodore Teitgen, county coroner, said death was instantaneous and 
resulted from a cerebral hemorrhage due to a skull fracture. The victim 
also suffered severe fractures of both legs and other injuries. He 
indicated that there would be no inquest.
Time of the accident was fixed at about 2:15 a.m. Traffic Officer Wilfred 
Christianson discovered the wreckage as he was on the way to his home at 
Valders after completing a work shift.
Mrs. Murphy had attended a nurses convention at New Holstein earlier in 
the day but left there at 7:30 p.m. to interview a prospect interested in 
buying her home on Rt. 1, Manitowoc. Her movements after that time were 
not immediately accounted for, Doctor Teitgen said. It was known that Mrs. 
Murphy had made plans to move to Hoshester, Minn., to accept a new job.
Army Nurse
Mrs. Murphy was born in the Town of Manitowoc Rapids Feb. 17, 1920, daughter 
of the late Walter and Charlotte Tech Vetting. She attended rural school, St. 
John Lutheran Parochial School and was graduated from Lincoln High School, 
Manitowoc, in 1938. She was graduated from Holy Family School of Nursing in 
1941.
Mrs. Murphy entered the armed forces March 23, 1943, as a First Lieutenant 
in the Army Nurse Corp., 3612 Gardner General Hospital, and was discharged 
on March of 1945. She was a member of the Office Nurses Section of the 
Wisconsin Nurses Assn., 12th District.
She is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Miton Schwalbe of Rt. 1, Manitowoc, 
Mrs. O. Conrad Helgeson of Manitowoc and Mrs. Guy Hoveland of Madison, Minn. 
Her father died in 1955 and her mother a year later.
Funeral servies will be at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at St. John Evangelical Lutheran 
Church, Newtonburg. The Rev. A. T. Degner will officiate and burial will be 
in Evergreen Cemetery, Manitowoc.
Friends may call ar Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home, Manitowoc until 11 a.m.

in state until the hour of service.

MICHAEL H. MURPHY

DEATH COMES WITH LITTLE WARNING
M.H. MURPHY'S SUDDEN DEMISE GREAT SHOCK TO CITY SATURDAY NIGHT
Well Known Business Man Had Been About City During Day in Apparent Health
Life's end came suddenly for Michael H. Murphy, well known business man of 
the city Saturday night when he was stricken almost without warning at his 
home during the early evening and passed away within a few moments. Mr. 
Murphy had been about the city as usual Saturday apparently in his usual 
health and had returned home in the afternoon and spent the evening with 
his family. Shortly after the evening dinner, he complained of distress 
and passed away within a short time despite efforts ro relieve him.
The news of the death of Mr. Murphy which spread rapidly was a shock to the 
community of which he had been a resident most of his life and on every side 
called forth expressions of regret and sympathy. Few men were more widely 
known in the city and county, Mr. Murphy haveing been identified with the 
business, civic and political life of the community for a half century.
Had Not Been Seriously ill
Although Mr. Murphy had not been in robust health for some time, his 
condition had never been considered alarming and he was about as usual up 
to the hour the summons came. Saturday he had been down town and visited 
at the Elks Club where he called daily and had returned home early in (photo) 
the afternoon but had not complained of illness.
Mr. Murphy's death occurred just one year, almost to the day, after that of 
his brother John Murphy who passed away on March 9, just a day later than 
the date on which Mr. Murphy was stricken.
A Native of Ohio
M.H. Murphy was born at Steubenville, Ohio, May 8, 1853, the son of Michael 
Murphy, and his parents moved to Manitowoc county when he was still a small 
child, settling at Cato where they acquired a large farm with Peter C. Murphy, 
a brother of his father, as a neighbor. It was here that Mr. Murphy gained 
his early education and then decided that he would rather live in the city 
than on the farm. He came to Manitowoc where he became a farm machinery 
salesman and later engaged in the farm machinery business.
Mr. Murphy early became interested in politics and the fall of 1880 at the 
age of twenty-six was elected sheriff of Manitowoc county, a position which 
he held in 1881 and 1882 and then was relected in 1884 to serve during 1885 
and 1886. Fearing his youth might count against him in his first campaign Mr. 
Murphy grew a heavy beard which he continued to wear for many years. He was 
rated as one of the most efficient officers this county has ever had and drew 
from Judge Gilson the compliment of being the best sheriff in the circuit 
which included four counties at that time.
Served City In Council
Besides serving as sheriff Mr. Murphy on a number of occasions served his 
ward as alderman and during the Cleveland administration served as deputy 
collector of internal revenue for this district. He was chairman of the 
committee which had charge of the erection of the present Eight street bridge 
back in 1892 and one of his cherished possessions was a letter from Fred 
Schuette, then mayor, commending him for the manner in which the work was 
handled. He was one of the organizers of the old Advancement Association 
and a moving spirit in that body and was also one of the men who helped to 
organize the Manitowoc Building & Loan Association, which now has grown to 
be a million dollar concern.
Built Seating Works Plant
It was in April 1892 that the Manitowoc Manufacturing company plant, then 
on Franklin street between Eleventh and Twelfth on what is known as the 
triangle, was burned and Mr. Murphy immediately set to work to reorganize 
the company and erect a new plant. The new plant was known as the Manitowoc 
Seating company and just a year after the fire it was in operation and has 
been in continuous operation ever since without a single shut-down in the 
thirty-two years. A large force of men have always been employed and the 
product shipped to all parts of the world.
When the plant was first organized it was manufacturing school and church 
funiture and opera chairs. In 1898 a merger of a number of plants throughout 
the United States was effected under the name of the American School Furniture 
company. The local plant was turned over to the exclusive manufacture of church 
furniture and some of the finest carved work is the ???? ???? turned out here 
(next sentence unreadable). Mr. Murphy became the general manager of all of the 
plants of the American School Furniture company and for ten years made his home 
at Chicago and New York the greater part of the time. He never lost his identity 
with the local plant and resigned his position as the general manager to return 
here as manager of the local plant, a position which he continured to hold until 
about a year ago when he retired and was succeded by his son Clement W. Murphy, 
who now holds the position as manager. Mr. Murphy however continured his 
interests and acted in an advisory capacity, having his desk at the local office. 
He had planned several trips for the summer.
Interested in Many Projects.
In addition to his interest in the Ameriacan School Furniture company Mr. Murphy 
organized the Manitowoc Real Estate company in 1891. This company platted Lawndale 
addition to the city and in 1890 he organized the Manitowoc Land & Salt company 
which was later changed to the Manitowoc Land & Fuel company which is under the 
management of his son, Francis X. Murphy. The Murphy Cement Construction company 
was another of his organizations. He later sold his interest in the company which 
became the Manitowoc Construction company.
Funeral Held Tuesday
Mr. Murphy was married in 1878 to Miss Charlotte Flynn of Two Rivers, the family 
immediately taking up their home in this city where Mrs. Murphy died April 1, 1913. 
On April 17, 1916 at St. Louis his marriage to Miss Madora Finney occurred and he
is survived by his widow and three sons, Francis X., Henry J., and Clement C., the 
former and later of this city while Henry J. makes his home at Greensborough, North 
Carolina. Five grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Mary Brennan of this city and two 
brothers, Jere and William of Minneapolis, also survive him.
Fraternally he was associated with the Knights of Columbus, Catholic Knights of 
Wisconsin and the Elks. He was a member of Sacred Heart congregation from which 
church the funeral will be held Tuesday morning and burial will be at Evergreen. 
Six foreman with the plant, five of whom have been associated with Mr. Murphy in 
the thirty-two years of its operation and the sixth one for thirty years, will 
act as the pall bearers. They are Anton Sporer, Henry Knell, Henry Klein, Henry 
Wesphal, Dan Danielson and Alis Lange. The plant will be closed down Tuesday and 
many of the officials of the American School furniture company from Chicago and 
other points will be here to attend the funeral.

FIND BOARDER DEAD AT FOUR CORNERS HOME
Emil Musil, 38, was found dead in bed at the home of Anton Witt at Branch this
morning when members of the family entered his room after he had failed to
respond to repeated calls. The man retired at about 10 last evening, apparently
in fair health. Death is due to natural causes.
Musil came to this country about thirteen years ago and so far as known has no
relatives here. He has held odd jobs about the city and county and for three
months past has been employed by Mr. Witt in the blacksmith shop. He had
worked hard all week although he complained of not feeling as well as usual. 
He was at his post Saturday and on Sunday started to do a job of painting at
the shop but was told by Mr. Witt that this could be put off as they were not
so busy at this season. The man stayed about the house all day and visited with
friends that called on the family. He remained in the house in the evening and
retired at 10 o'clock.
Coroner Dr. W.G. Kemper and District Attorney C.E. Brady were called and said
that no inquest would be held as death was due to natural causes.
As far as could be learned the dead man has only one relative living, a brother
who still makes his home in Bohemia.

Wenzel Mussil Fires Bullet Into Brain While Family Waits
FORMER RESIDENT BURIAL HELD HERE
While in his room dressing to accompany his family to the theatre for the evening, 
Wenzel Mussil, a former Manitowoc man, committed suicide at Ludington, Mich., 
Friday night by firing a bullet into his brain. Members of the family, alarmed 
by the report of the revolver, hastened to the room to find Mussil dead on the 
floor.
Mr. Mussil, whose body was brought here from Ludington Sunday night for burial, 
was a resident of the city up to seven years ago when the family removed to 
Ludington. For some time, Mussil had been depressed in spirits and worried but 
there was no thought that he would take his life. Members of the family were 
waiting for Mr. Mussil to dress to go out for the evening at the time of the 
tragedy.
For years, Mr. Mussil was employed as head sawyer for the Pankratz company here 
and later was employed at Two Rivers in a similar capacity, removing to that city 
18 years ago. Returning here he was employed by the Smalley Mfg. Co., for a time 
and later removed to Ludington. He was 64 years of age and was well known here.

ANNA C. MUTH

Anna Muth, 81, Veteran City Teacher, Dies
Miss Anna Muth, veteran teacher and community worker, died Friday afternoon
at home on North Eighth St. Miss Muth, 81, had been in ill health the past
year.
The native of Manitowoc County was born March 7, 1880, in the Town of Manitowoc,
daughter of the late Christ and Julia Brown Muth. She was graduated from North
Side High School in 1893 and attended Oshkosh State Teachers College, grad-
uating in 1900.
She taught in Sheboygan public schools two years before returning to Manitowoc
to teach in the fourth grade at Luling School, now McKinley School. Miss Muth
then taught school at Milwaukee and after a few months of substitute teaching
was employed as vice principal of the 27th Avenue School at that city.
Taught German
Miss Muth remained in that capacity  until 1915 when she returned to Manitowoc
and taught German and English at North Side High School. When the North Side
and South Side High Schools were consolidated she was transferred to Lincoln
High School where she taught English until the spring of 1931. That fall she
was transferred to Woodrow Wilson Junior High School where she taught English
until she retired in 1945.
In 1933, Miss Muth was elected president of Manitowoc County Teachers Assn.
The veteran of 45 years in the teaching profession at Manitowoc often attended
summer sessions at Marquette University and the University of Colorado at
Boulder.
While teaching was her chosen profession she was especially interested in wel-
fare work and, after retiring, she became a part time family welfare worker
with the Manitowoc Apostolate, Catholic welfare agency, during the time the
Rev. Robert McCarthy was director. In 1949, she found it impossible to cont-
inue steady work because of a physical handicap and resigned.
Charter Member
During the years of teaching Miss Muth was interested in the economic and
social life of the community. She was a charter member and first president of
the Catholic Women's Club of the city. After serving two years she was subse-
quently re-elected in 1932 and at the conclusion of the term in 1933 was
re-named for another year.
Miss Muth was chairman of the Better Films Council and served on the Manitowoc
County Health Committee for 23 years. She worked with county judges, finding
homes for children and shared her country home with them. She affectionately
referred to these less fortunate children as "my boys and girls."
Miss Muth was a member of Altrusa Club at the time of retirement, a member of
American Association of University Women Garden Study Club, Holy Innocents
Altar Society and served as chairman of the county teachers association and
was dean of girls at Wilson Junior High School.
A lover of nature and while teaching at Woodrow, Miss Muth often spent Saturdays
with Girl Scouts, taking them to the parks where they studied birds, trees and
flowers. She enjoyed the distinction of being superintendent of the floral
exhibits at the Manitowoc County Fair for 25 years.
Faith in Youth
As a public spirited citizen she gave generously of her time and efforts to 
youth activities. She often said, "During my years of inactivity, I have not
lost faith in the youth, who at present are called teen-agers. We can hardly
hope to have perfect citizens in the years to come when we put before them
TV and radio programs that show only mystery and murder and when our magazines
fill their minds with problems we could have hesitated to speak of in the good
old days.
"If I could instill in the hearts of our young people interest along inspiring
ways, we would not have cause to scoff or blame these young people."
Miss Muth said, also, she ws "not unmindful of friends who have made life
happier because of their sincerity, and if it were not for my faith, I would
not be able to accept my physical handicaps, but life has its compensations
and many deeds of kindness come to me from day to day."
One of Miss Muth's greatest joys was to work with young people and especially
when she taught the Young Harmonica Club she was happy.
Funeral Services
Miss Muth had a brother, Frank, who was the first highway commissioner for 
Manitowoc County. Her parents and a sister, Mrs. Theodore Anderson, also preceded
her in death. Her father was a member of the Manitowoc County Board for many
years.
Surviving her are three nephews, Mark Muth of Green Bay and William and Francis
Muth of the city; two grand nieces, a grand nephew and two great grand nieces
and a great grand nephew.
Funeral services will be at 9 a.m. Monday at Urbanek and Schlei Funeral Home
and at 9:30 a.m. at Holy Innocents Catholic Church. The Rev. E.A. Radey will
officiate and burial will be in Evergreen Cemetery.

will be recited at 7 p.m.
