Mrs. Ira Murphy, nee Lizzie Tyler, passed away last Monday morning. She left an infant son but a few hours old. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Wheeler at Webster church, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Roberts Cemetery. She leaves a husband and three small children and a father and sister to mourn her loss. This sudden death should remind us that God says “Therefore be ye also ready; for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man cometh.”
