"Evening Times" Cumberland, Maryland, Sat 8 Sep 1906: 
"Midland-Death of Mother of Mine Inspector Murphy-Midland, Md., Sept. 8. 
Mrs. Patrick Murphy, one of the oldest most highly respected ladies of this community, died 
somewhat suddenly yesterday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Cunningham. She 
rose yesterday morning in perfect health and ate a good breakfast. Towards noon, however, 
she fell ill and died at 3 o'clock just as the Catholic church bell, which rings at 3 o'clock 
on Friday afternoon in commemoration of the death of Our Lord, began to ring. She was 82 
years old and was born in Louth, County Louth, Ireland. About 35 years ago she came to this 
country and with the exception of one year in Vale Summit, has lived in Midland ever since 
her arrival. She is survived by two sons and one daughter, Mr. Thos. Murphy, who is now State 
Mine Inspector, and well known through this part of the country; Mr. Michael Murphy, a 
prosperous business man of this place, and Mrs. John Cunningham, also of this place. 
Interment will take place in St. Mary's Seminary (sic), Lonaconing. The time of the funeral 
has not as yet been determined, but in all probability will be on Monday Morning."
