Death of Mr. Dunphy
It has been known for some weeks the Mr. Patrick Dunphy, who has for the past six months or more been staying at the St. Francis hospital, was slowly growing worse and that there was little hope for recovery of health from the injuries to his spine, received in the wreck at Roscoe, Nebraska, Oct. 11, 1894. Mr. Dunphy was on this date on board a Union Pacific passenger train en route to Colorado springs and San Francisco, for a visit. He was among the injured, and the injury being to the spine, he has never recovered, but in the last few years there has been a general decline in his health. Death resulted this morning at 8:30 at the St. Francis hospital, with his children at his bedside.
Patrick Dunphy came to the United States when yet a mere youth. He was a native of Kilkenny, Ireland. He located in the state of New York. He enlisted in the civil war from Albany, New York. After the war he married and came west. His first occupation was that of a shoemaker. He later went into the saloon business, at one time operating the Turf saloon, and the opera house saloon, as well as the Dunphy saloon at the corner of South Front and Pine. He retained the later place of business until after his injuries, finally disposing of it to Mr. Fisher, the present owner of the saloon, Mr. Dunphy, however, still owning the property as well as the Dunphy brick hotel building and the property on Front as far as the brick building on Front.
Mr. Dunphy was always one of the staunchest citizens of Grand Island. He was of a very positive character, had well balanced principles and never failed in moral courage to stand up for them.
This can be perhaps demonstrated well by the fact that while he was in the saloon business and while all of his competitors did so, Mr. Dunphy never would have a door of his business place open on Sunday. It was not that he needed to have any fear, for his place of business was always the most orderly. It was furthermore the unwritten law that business could be done on Sunday, but it was the principle of Mr. Dunphy that his doors must be closed. He never criticised (sic) others for doing otherwise but was very emphatic in his preferment that he, in turn, be given the right to his opinion. The same characteristic here shown was possessed by him in other directions. He was very firm in his convictions, was a good, true friend and one of the staunchest citizens of the city and county; and in his death Grand Island mourns the loss of one who has done much in its upbuilding, and those of Irish nationality a fellow citizen to whom they in particular, but all other citizens as well, could at all times point with pride.
The deceased entered the service of the United States as a private in Co. E Fifth Regiment U. S. Cavalry, Jan. 16, 1861 and served five years, receiving and honorable discharge. He was born in 1842. At eh close of the war he was married, at Albany, N. Y. shortly thereafter moving to Nebraska. Mrs. Dunphy preceded him in death, in 1888.
There remain to mourn his loss the following children:—Mrs. Mary Dunphy, now residing at Kansas City; James Dunphy, with Swift & Co. at St. Joseph; Edward Dunphy, a prosperous farmer now residing near Wood River; Wm. Dunphy, now in the employ of the Northwestern and residing at Sioux city; Mrs. Stacia Kearney, residing in Chicago; Mrs. Alice Stevens of St. Joseph; Miss Grace Dunphy, Kansas City and Miss Celia Dunphy of Chicago. Mrs. Jamieson of this city and Mrs. Kate McCarthy of Chicago are siste4rs of the deceased and Phil Dunphy of Sioux City, Ia. is a brother. The children are all here and the sister of Chicago and brother of Sioux City, are expected to be here to attend the funeral which will take place at ten o'clock Wednesday morning from the hospital, the remains being immediately take to the Catholic church for services, and interment being made in the Grand Island cemetery.
Mr. Dunphy has valuable property interests in this city, was a stockholder and director in the First National bank, has two fine farms in this county and has some valuable property interests in St. Joseph, the total amounting perhaps to $75,000 or $80,000.
