Murphy, 56, Carroll, who was injured fatally in an automobile accident Saturday night near Roselle. Mr. Murphy became the county's 13th highway traffic fatality in 1966 when the car he was driving was in a sideswipe collision at 7:55 p.m. with a car driven by Gary L. Venteicher, 25, Route 2, Arcadia, about three quarters of a mile east of Roselle on a county black-top road. The accident happened on the crest of a hill as Mr. Murphy was eastbound and Mr. Venteicher was westbound. The impact shunted the two vehicles into opposite ditches, and a car driven by Edward T. Riesenberg, Route 3, Carroll, following the Murphy car, narrowly averted the collision. Mr. Venteicher was taken to St. Anthony Hospital where he was listed in fair condition Sunday with head injuries and a dislocated hip. Mr. Murphy was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital Saturday night. The 1966 traffic death toll at Carroll county now stands only three under the all-time record set here in 1960 when 16 persons were killed on county highways, Sheriff John G. Longnecker said. Records have been kept since 1948. The Carroll County legislator was reported to have been returning from a business trip to Halbur at the time of the accident. Mr. Murphy has served two terms in the state legislature as Carroll County state representative and had won renomination on the Democratic ballot in last Tuesday's primary election. Requiem mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Tuesday in St. Lawrence Church by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. Henry B. Karhoff. Interment will be in Mt. Olivet Cemetery. Friends may call at the Sharp Funeral Home after Monday noon. There will be rosaries Monday at 3 p.m.; at 7:30 p.m. by the Knights of Columbus; and at 8 p.m. by St. Lawrence parish. The Elks memorial service will be given at 8:30 p.m. Monday. Mr. Murphy is survived by his wife and two daughters: Mrs. Bernard (Sue) Feilmeier and Maureen Murphy, all of Carroll; four sisters, Mrs. Lula Maneman and Mrs. Charles (Leone) Daley, Carroll; Mrs. Charles (Ceal) Holland, Denver, Colo.; and Mrs. Irene Heiman, Ashton; and one brother, Frank Murphy of Alameda, Calif. He was preceded in death by four brothers and sisters, Edward, Leonard, Zita and Collette. He was born Sept. 6, 1910, at Audubon, a son of James and Emma Murphy. When he was two years old the family moved to a farm where the present Murphy home is now located at 1806 Benjamin Street, Carroll. He graduated from Carroll High School in 1930, and attended Trinity College, Sioux City, two years and Midwest College of Commerce, one year. In 1934 he began work with the R.E.A. Express Company in Carroll and for the past seven years had been manager of the company's office here. On May 20, 1939, he was married to Dorothy Knippel at Fort Dodge, with the Rev. Robert Joynt performing the ceremony. The couple made their home in Carroll and in 1943, moved to their present home. Mr. Murphy developed the present Murphy Addition in that area which is now a residential section of Carroll. Mr. Murphy was a member of St. Lawrence parish. He has been active in the Charles Carroll Council Knights of Columbus, of which he was a past grand knight. He served two terms as a trustee, and in 1958 was a state delegate to the national Knights of Columbus convention in Chicago. He also belonged to Elks Lodge No. 1637, the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks, United Travelers Association and the Carroll Chamber of Commerce.
