PASSING OF WM MULLINS
In the passing of Wm Mullins here last Thursday evening, June 11th,
another member of the old guard has gone to his final rest. For the past
two years he has been in ill health, and during the past six weeks his
death has been almost hourly expected by a large circle of warm friends,
who sincerely mourn his death.
William Mullins was born in Waterford County, Ireland, may 28, 1855, and
who came to this country when but ten years old and followed the lure of
gold to the West and arrived at Virginia City, in stirring days of the
70s. About 1881, he came to Surprise valley where he has since
resided, with the exception of a short time at Lakeview. In 1892, he
came to Cedarville and engaged in business and later purchased the ranch,
on which he lived and died. In 1898, he was married to Florence A.
Cambridge and to this union, there were born two children, Mary C., and
William H. Mullins.
He was President to the Surprise valley Stockmens Association ever
since its organization, and until prevented by illness was an active
member in the Masonic and Odd Fellows Lodges, and also the Eastern Star
and Rebekahs.
He was always active in public matters of local interest and was ever
ready to help the needy and distressed. By his death, this county loses
a good citizen, one whose genial smile and hearty handshake will not soon
be forgotten.
His funeral was conducted from the M. E. Church, Sunday afternoon, being
conducted under the auspices of the Surprise Valley Lodge, No. 235, F. A.
& M. of which Order he was a highly respected member. Masons and friends
from all over the county attended the funeral, which was one of the
largest ever held here, to pay their last tribute of respect to the
departed friend and brother, and tender their heartfelt sympathy to the
sorrowing wife and son and daughter.
CARD OF THANKS We take this means of feebly expressing our sincere
thanks and gratitude to our friends for their many acts of kindness and
assistance during the illness and passing of our loved one, William
Mullins. Especially do we thank the Orders for their love, sympathy and
friendship, expressed by messages and through the beautiful floral
offerings.
