Well Known Clinton Citizen Died Yesterday at Excelsior Springs, MO
FUNERAL ON WEDNESDAY

News of Death Came as a Shock to Friends Who Were Unaware of His Condition.

Daniel J. Murphy of 542 Camanche Avenue died at 5 o'clock yesterday morning at Excelsior Springs,  Mo. where he went two weeks ago. The news of his death comes as a shock to all friends, few of whom were aware of the fact that he had been failing in health for some time, and that his condition had been considered as serious.

In the passing of "Dan" Murphy, as he was known to all acquaintances, Clinton loses a good citizen, one who will be long remembered by his friends. When the news became known about town yesterday that he was dead, the expressions of sorrow for the bereaved family were numerous. "Dan" Murphy was a home-loving man and his best enjoyment was that of being with his family. He was of an unassuming disposition, yet, a man who knew the world and understood it, and by reason of understanding it, placed great value upon the worth of friendship. Mr. Murphy was never known to speak other than good of his fellow man, and this characteristic trait, together with many others of a commendable nature endeared him to all who knew him. Those who knew him best were his best friends. "Dan" Murphy was a good man and will be missed. Several months ago Mr. Murphy's health commenced (unreadable) medical skill seemed to to offer only temporary relief. During the Christmas season his family and friends were given encouragement, and it was believed that he was improving. Two weeks ago in company with Mrs. Murphy, he went to Excelsior
Springs, Mo., and only a few days ago word was received that he was feeling better than he had felt in months. Thus it was that the news of the step came as a shock.

A message was sent to the family home in this city Saturday night saying Mr. Murphy was dying. Early yesterday morning another message one telling of his death, was sent from Excelsior Springs. Both were delivered at the Murphy home on Camanche Avenue at the same time yesterday. The sad story was told in a message that was first received and read: "Father died at 5 o'clock this morning."

Daniel J. Murphy was born at Tewksbury Mass. on April 18, 1855, and came to Clinton when a small boy. Nov. 7th, 1877, he was united in matrimony to Miss Mary Grimes of this city. Surviving him besides his wife, who was with him at Excelsior Springs when he died, are four sons and one daughter: Frank and Daniel of Duluth Minn., and John, Edward and Miss Eileen of this city. He is also survived by two sisters Mrs. J. L. McCarthy of Clinton and Mrs. F. Mulligan of Omaha.

Mr. Murphy was for many years in the employee of the Chicago & Northwestern Railway Company, and at one time was foreman of the company boiler shops. He was also formerly actively identified with the Star Boiler Works of this city and well-known in business circles.

The deceased was a member of Horse Shoe camp, M. W. A. and St. Edwards Council, Knights of Columbus.

Frank and Daniel Murphy of Duluth Minn., and John Murphy and Leslie Grimes of this city have gone to Excelsior Springs and they will accompany Mrs. Murphy on her sad homecoming journey, arriving tonight.
