HARRIETT MURPHY

COMPLICATIONS FOLLOWING FLU ATTACK FATAL
Mrs. C.W. Murphy Dies After Long Battle for Life
Death claimed Mrs. Clement W. Murphy, nee Harriet Bleser, at the home on So.
Eighth street yesterday afternoon, ending an unequal battle of several months
for life waged by Mrs. Murphy. Apparently improving from an attack which had
undermined her system, Mrs. Muryphy was believed to be assured of restoration
to health when she suffered an attack of influenza last fall and complications
resulting caused death yesterday.
The death of Mr. Murphy will awaken a deep sympathy in the community where she
was well known and beloved. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.B. Bleser and
was born here 37 years ago and had always made her home in Manitowoc. At ending
the local schools, she graduated from the South Side high school and a few
years ago became the bride of Mr. Murphy.
Several months ago her health began to fail but hope was entertained for her
recovery until she suffered from an attack of inluenza and complications
developed. Mrs. Murphy's condition became gradually worse and day by day the
effects of the insidious disease was apparent in her growing weakness until
death released her.
Mrs. Murphy is survived by her husband and baby son, and by her father Daniel B.
Bleser, one sister, Mrs. Emil Sixta and two brothers, Daniel C. Bleser and Elmer
Bleser. Mrs. Murphy was popular in social circles of the city, in which she was
active until health failed, and she possessed attributes that won admiration and
devotion of her friends.
Funeral services will be held from St. Boniface church Saturday morning.
