Newspaper clipping of an obituary for Fr. Columbus Murphy OFM Cap. (d. 20 Feb. 1962). Includes a photographic print. Reference is made in the obituary to his role in the 1916 Rising. It reads 'Fr. Columbus ... attended wounded and dying volunteers behind the barricades at Church Street. When Pearse issued the surrender order, Fr. Columbus was one of those entrusted to carry the message through the burning city streets to the area commandants. He was the last surviving member of the four Capuchin Fathers from Church Street - Fr. Augustine, Fr. Aloysius, Fr. Albert and himself - who risked their lives on many occasions during Easter Week to help wounded volunteers'.
