MRS. HANNAH MURPHY DIES, AGED 82 YEARS

Mrs. Hannah M. Murphy, aged 82 years died at the home of Miss Emma Minnick, 414 East Normal avenue Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock. Death was caused, it is thought, by the infirmities of age. She was born in Detroit, Mich., Sept. 8th, 1837.

Mrs. Murphy was a widow, her husband having died about 8 years ago. She has no relatives so far as is known.

She has been living with Miss Minnick for the past 11 months. She had been a resident of Adair county for a number of years, having come here in 1886. She had been living in Kirksville for about 8 years. She was married to Prof. S. A. Murphy, who was the first college graduate to teach in Kirksville. He founded an academy here which later, it is said, developed into the State Normal School. He also held a county office in Adair county at one time, and owned a large farm in Walnut township.

Funeral services were held this morning at the Davis & Williams chapel, by Rev. A. F. Zeigel. The body was taken to Ringo's Point for burial.
