Burial of Luke Murphy.

Luke Murphy, 44 years of age and a bachelor, died last Monday at Park City, Utah, and was buried here Thursday afternoon in the Catholic cemetery. He was one of a family of nine sons and three daughters that were reared near Elwell but that are now widely scattered, the only one of them now here being a brother Robert south of Colo. The deceased was a miner, who went west years ago and who had drifted from Montana down to Utah. His health failing there, his brother Alfred of Boone went to him, remained with him through his last weeks and brought his body home. The cause of his death was hemorrhage of the lungs.
