Morris Daily Herald, Jan 20, 1912
Murnan, Mary - Mrs. Mary Murnan, who had been a resident of Morris over sixty-
five years, passed away last night at 9:45 o'clock at her home on East 
Washington street, after an illness of eleven weeks. On November 6 Mrs. Murnan 
fell at her home just as she had reached the foot of the stairs leading from 
the upper floor and broke her hip. She was recovering from the effects of the 
fall when she had a stroke of paralysis, on January 9, and since then had not 
regained consciousness. It is thought that at the time of her fall she had a 
slight stroke of paralysis. Mary O'Hale, daughter of Charles and Catherine 
Duffin-O'Hale, was born at Napanee, Canada, September 15, 1836. When a small 
infant the family moved to Ohio, where they lived until August 15, 1846, when 
they came to Morris. The deceased grew to womanhood in Morris and on September 
19, 1867, she was married to Thomas Murnan, who died August 21, 1901, leaving 
his widow and two daughters, Mary and Katherine, who have since been with 
their mother. She leaves beside the two daughters, one brother, Edward O'Hale, 
of California. Mrs. Martin Hynds, of Morris, who died a few years ago, was a 
sister. Mrs. Murnan's long residence in Morris made her familiar with history 
of early days and she was an interesting talker of old scenes and times in 
Morris. When she was married the ceremony was performed in the old Catholic 
church, a building long since forgotten. She was one of the first pupils of 
St. Angela's academy and took an active interest in the celebration of the 
fiftieth anniversary of the academy, which was reached in the year 1908. The 
funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Catholic 
church. Burial will be at Mt. Carmel cemetery. Requiem mass will be said at 7 
o'clock Monday morning.
