Obituary.

Mrs. Mary Dunphy, died at 6 o'clock last evening, after an illness of
three weeks.  She suffered with a complication of diseases resulting
from advanced age.  During her final illness she received all the
consolations of the Catholic Church, of which she was a consistent
member.  Mrs. Dunphy was a native of Reharney, county Westmeath,
Ireland, and came to this city with her children some twelve years
ago.  Her husband, James Dumphy, [sic] to whom she was married in
1854, died in Ireland.  She leaves three children, John, Pennsylvania
railroad baggagemaster, in this city; Edward J., machinist, and James,
of Milwaukee.  A telegram announcing the death was sent to her son in
Milwaukee, and until he is heard from no definite arrangements for the
funeral can be made, though it will probably take place to-morrow
afternoon, from the residence of her son, Mr. John Dunphy, No. 1314
Sixteenth avenue.
