OBITUARY - ANOTHER REGRETTED DEATH - JUNE 19, 1880

When we were innocent in "poor old Ireland," a familiar word in our father's family was "the Robinson family can be relied upon." We subsequently learned that the remarks were true. -- Daughter Elizabeth married a Captain Hutchison who was killed in a Kattier war and subsequently his widow and daughter drew pensions from the British government and both now reside in Canada in an unmarried state. Miss Mary was won and wed by a reverend gentleman named Schetkey, he was first commander of St. James Church, Manitowoc, and afterwards remarried and is now located in Philadelphia, PA. We simply make these remarks as they are intended for the dead and not for the living. Brother Robert was the principal flute player of the fourth Wisconsin and led the advance at New Orleans when our northern forces captured Louisiana. John Murphy, who became a member of this remarkable family of distillers, passed the line of death on Saturday evening of last week and was laid on Mother Earth's breast in a calm mood on Monday forenoon of this week at St Nazian's beautiful Cemetery. He was a native of Ulster Province, Ireland, and was true to home and friends as steel is to iron. May Eternal peace be his. (Chilton Times)
