WA bmds do not record a death at Southern Cross in 1930 for a Cornelius MURPHY.

In fact a man with that same name at Southern Cross had a horse stolen from him in 1932.

You can find his death registered on the WA BDM: https://www.bdm.justice.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx
Death: Cornelius MURPHY (2418/1946)

There are a couple of other deaths for that name (though none in 1930), but with the funeral notice Essie found, the age and location seem right for your man.

Also a marriage of a Cornelius MURPHY and Hazel PENN at Northampton (9/1933) - though as there are more than one you would have to get the certificate to see if it your's. (I can't see a marrige notice on trove to help.)
