Also mentioned

• Mr. Patrick Murphy · bereaved_father

  Of 313 South Washington street. No middle initial given. The user's filename ("Patrick and Ellen's") asserts the mother's first name is Ellen — possibly the same Patrick Murphy and Ellen family later seen in the 1908 bartender Patrick J. Murphy clippings (`Pat_Murphy_sick_not_insane_by_Ellen_and_Maggie_Murphy.pdf`). No middle initial here, so identity link to person_patrick_j_murphy_butte_aoh is plausible but not confirmed.

• Mrs. Patrick Murphy · bereaved_mother

  Per the user's filename, first name Ellen. The clipping itself gives no first name.

• 3-month-old daughter (unnamed) · deceased

  The infant herself, name not given. Three months old in June 1896, so born c. March 1896.

Open questions

• Is the Patrick Murphy at 313 S. Washington (Anaconda or Butte?) in 1896 the same as Patrick J. Murphy of the Butte AOH (1889) and the bartender Patrick J. Murphy of 1908? The address locates the family; cross-check against the 1900 census.
• 313 South Washington street — which city? Anaconda has a South Washington; Butte's grid may also. Verify.
