Shelby County Man Wants His Birth Certificate
------------
Gordon Thurston, Clerk of the Circuit Court, has received a telegram from
Jefferson Mandler Murphy, a Shelby county man who is being held at Deer River, Minnesota, for failure to register.
Murphy states that he was born September 24, 1885, which would make him above the draft age.
He desired that his certificate of birth be sent to him. A search of the records was made but his birth date could not be found.
The young man’s father formerly lived in Washington township, but now lives in Illinois.
He has a brother in Washington township, it was stated.Wednesday July 31, 1918

Mrs. Retta Murphy, In Suit For Divorce And Alimony
Makes Charges Against Husband, Frank Murphy
----------
Charging that her husband refused to purchase her sufficient clothing to keep her warm and that he would not buy enough food to keep her from being hungry, Mrs. Retta Murphy, of Washington township, has filed a suit for a divorce against her husband, Frank Murphy. Carter, Hall, Williams and Pell are the attorneys for the plaintiff.
Mrs. Murphy is 54 years old and her husband is 63, according to the complaint. Mrs. Murphy states that she and her husband were married February 19, 1913, and that they separated June 3, 1917. The wife asks that she be given $800 alimony and that her name be restored to Retta Lewis.
Mrs. Murphy charges that her husband shortly after their marriage demanded that she turn over to him $520 which she had, to be used by him on ten acres of land in which she had a life estate. She says that she gave him the money and that he used it for his own interests.
The plaintiff asserts that she was forced to cultivate a garden, keeping chickens and cows in order to have enough food for herself. She charges that her husband taunted her with the remark that she was not as good as his former wife.

ABJECTIVE BEREAVEMENT -- We are seldom called uon to record a more melancholy visitation than that which has fallen upon the family of Mr. Samuel Murphy, in this vicinity. His eldest daughter, Sarah Jane, a young lady of much promise, between whom and her parents an unusually ardent mutual attachment existed, was sent last summer to a female institution at Oxford, Ohio. One day last week a dispatch was received informing her parents that she was dangerously ill. Her father hastened to see her, but the next day the mornful intelligence was received that she was dead. Her remains were brought here on Saturday, and after an absence of nine months, during which the greatest solicitude was felt for her welfare, instead of receiving their joyous-hearted loved one again into the bosom of their family, which was looked for in a few weeks in happy anticipation, her inanimate, spiritless clay, was taken home enshrouded in the drapery of the tomb. Her remains were followed to the grave by a large concourse of sympathising friends and neighbors. Rev. Mr. Jennings conducted the funeral services. His remarks were most appropriate, solumn and consoling. He evidently readed many a chord long unused to vibrate to the touch of sympathy. All mingled in the general grief, and altogether it was one of the most touching scenes it has been our sad fortune to witness.May 20, 1857
