Summary

Funeral report for Mrs. Ellen Murphy, "who died Friday" (23 Aug 1935), under the head "Mrs. Ellen Murphy". Services "were held this morning" (Monday 26 Aug): the cortege went from the Duggan Merrill mortuary Colonial room to St. Patrick's church, where a requiem high mass was celebrated at 9:30; burial in Holy Cross cemetery. Rev. Emmett Shea celebrated the mass; Rev. Edward Moran was deacon, Rev. R. V. Cavanaugh sub-deacon; Rev. M. M. English, Rev. J. M. Nolan and Rev. M. J. Leonard were in the sanctuary. Arthur Drynan and Mrs. James Cummins, accompanied by Miss Margaret McHale, sang the responses. Rev. J. M. Venus officiated at the cemetery. Pallbearers: Judge J. J. Lynch, Lou Wilson, James M. Brown, Phil Sullivan, Frank J. Feeney and John P. Hogan. The same people as the p. 5 "MURPHY RITES HELD." report, which prints the celebrant as "Rev. Everett Shea". The clipping also shows, above this article, the end of the report of Joe Mudro's funeral (St. Patrick's, 10 o'clock the same morning) with his active pallbearers, officiating clergy and honorary pallbearers "in addition to those announced last Thursday" (Martin Kall ... Jere Clifford). Those lists are Mudro's, not Mrs. Murphy's (Opus proof, 4 Oct 2026, confidence 99; until then the archive had attributed them to her).
