Frank Murphy was the son of James Murphy and Bridget Devine, some conflict with the maiden name it may also be Burns.
Killed by Fall of Rock
The life of Frank Murphy was crushed out yesterday in the D & H No. 3 mines by a fall of rock.
He was employed as a miner and was at work in the face of his chamber, when without any warning a fall of rock occurred killing him instantly. The accident occurred in the forenoon and the body was not recovered for a couple of hours after the accident as there were several tons of rock fell. For a time it was thought Murphy was alive behind the fall and a force of men was put to work at once to rescue him, but when they reached him a couple of hours later he was dead.
Thomas Murphy a brother of the unfortunate man was employed as a laborer and had just left the face of the chamber to eat a lunch and was returning to relieve his brother so that he might take a lunch and as he was returning the fatal fall occurred.
The deceased was 45 years of age and was a highly respected resident of 88 Nesbitt street, Larksville, and his sudden death is deplored by a wide circle of friends.
Frank was survived by the following brothers and sisters; Patrick, Bridget, and Margaret Kelly, at home; Mrs. Joseph Omelko of Larksville; Thomas Murphy, in the West; Mrs. J. Martin and Mrs. John Kennedy both of Pittston.
The funeral will occur on Thursday morning at 9 o'clock from his late home on Nesbitt street, with a high mass of requiem at St. Vincent's Church at 9:00.
Burial will be made in St. Vincent's Cemetery
