His obituary contains many interesting details about his life:
"Death of John Mullineux
Sterling Citizen and Veteran of the Civil War Passes Quietly Away
Though the death of John Mullineux had been anticipated as an event that might occur at any time for months past, yet his passing June 29 was an occurence of more than local interest. He was known over the county for years as a member of a contracting firm which had constructed Rio Grande College, and other public buildings and many of the handsomest residences in town and county. In that work he had spent the vigor of his youth, his best years of mature manhood and when nature called for his retirement he still lingered at the old planing mill. It was a calling that came down from his father and the noteworthy fact of the occupation was that he and his brothers, associates, had given the name Mullineux the honor and prestige of conscientious and honest dovetail of good material and skillful workmanship. He found time, though to shoulder a musket and defend the Union of the States with his full heritage of British blood and courage.
Mr. Mullineux was a modest individual, as clean, patriotic and loyal in his duty to his community as any citizen the town ever had. His domestic life was ideal and fruitful, and he was granted the scriptural limit of years because an even, consistent performance of the duties of a good husband and splendid father make for years.
The deceased was born at Wilkesville February 26, 1839. February 12, 1862, he married America Day and she, with sons Will and Harry and Mrs. Roscoe J. Mauck, survive him. With the death of his mother, the father married again at Hamden, the second set of children, who survive, being Joseph and Charles and Mrs E. Lincoln Neal of this city and Fred Mullineux at Chicago.
The funeral services were held Thursday at the family residence, by Rev. F. M. Evans of the Grace M. E. Church.
