The death of Francis M. Mulkey occurred last night, April 14 at 111 Garfield Street. For some years, Mr. Mulkey has not been in robust health, and his death was the culmination of ailments which had been increasing with advancing age.
Late last fall Mr. Mulkey went to southern Oregon, where he has relatives, hoping that the change might prove beneficial, but he gradually grew worse. He returned to Pendleton about two weeks ago, en route to his home on Stanley Creek, one of the upper Birch Creek branches.
Francis Marion Mulkey was born near Lexington, Missouri, in 1842 and came to Oregon at the age of 8 years, crossing the plains in one of the great wagon trains which have become famous in history. He first settled in the Willamette Valley and came to Eastern Oregon when 19 years of age.
His children, who survive him, are Mrs. Belle Emick of Rossland, B.C.; Frances M. Hascall and Maud D. Hascall of Pilot Rock, wives of Fred W. and James Hascall, and Georgia E. Mulkey of the same place, all of whom were at the bedside when the end came.
In the passing of Francis M. Mulkey, we lose another one of those few remaining pioneers whose lives are interwoven with the early history of the far west.
The funeral will be held at 2 p.m., Sunday, the interment at Pilot Rock Cemetery. Oakland, Myrtle Creek and Grant's Pass papers please copy.
