Michael Murphy, a war veteran and a long-time resident of Woburn, died
at his home No. 27 Park st., Sunday, Oct. 10, aged 79 years, 10
months, 11 days. He was born in County Cork, Ireland, Nov 29, 1817.
Mr. Murphy was a currier by trade, but for years had been unable to

throughout the regiment's term.

Murphy, formerly of Kenney & Murphy] survive him. Mr. Murphy was the father of Mrs. Cornelius Corcoran and Mrs. Charles F. McDermott, both deceased. The funeral was from St. Charles church, Tuesday morning. The national colors were at half staff during the day. |
