OBITUARY FOR ORISON E. MURDOCK

Orison Murdock, residing two miles east of Clitherall, Minnesota, passed away Monday morning at 3 o'clock. He had gone to bed the evening before apparently as well as ever, but about 3 o'clock in the morning his wife was awakened by his groans. Complaining of stomach trouble, she gave him some soda. Immediately afterwards he rolled over on his side, groaned once, and laid still. Mrs. Murdock became frightened and called their son, who approached the bed to find his father dead. Acute indigestion was the cause of Mr. Murdock's death.
Mr. Murdock was born in Iowa on May 3, 1863 and has resided in Ottertail County since a boy, his parents coming to this county and settling at Clitherall when he was two years old. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hyrum Murdock, are both dead.
His wife and four children (two of them being adopted), five sisters and two brothers survive him. They are: Mrs. Abner Tucker of Clitherall; Mrs. Almon Whiting of Minneapolis; Mrs. Jedediah Anderson of Independence, Missouri; Mrs. James Fletcher of Clitherall; Mrs. Arthur Whiting of Clitherall; Charles and Lurette Murdock.
Funeral services were held Tuesday with Reverend Alonzo Whiting officiating. Interment was in Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Clitherall. The people of Clitherall and vicinity mourn the passing of this aged and venerable man, well-known and liked by all.

This obituary was submitted by Ilo (Vargason) Whiting of Independence, Missouri.
