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 '70's. 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 Stockmen's 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.
