A Pioneer Gone: N.E. Mulvaney:

N.E. Mulvany died at his residence at Hudson Tuesday, Jan 22, 1889, after a few days illness of typhoid fever, at the age of 57 years.

Mr. Mulvany was one of Oregon's pioneers. He came out to this country in 1852 in company with Mr. H. Davis, and located on Pass Creek in 1856 where he has since been living. This county was all a wilderness for many years after Mr. Mulvany came here. He put a saw mill on Pass Creek and twenty years ago he was running the pioneer saw mill that cut the lumber that built the houses for many miles around. That mill, at last is a thing of the past. It fulfilled the demand of those days and quite near where it once made music with the birds, stands the fine new and very valuable steam saw mill put up by Messrs, Bulkley & Heald.

Mr. Mulvany looked forward with a great deal of pleasure to the success of the new enterprise, but he was called to cross the dark waters from which there is no return. He had by many years of constant, unceasing struggle, secured a valuable home which he leaves to his family--a wife and two children. He leaves a large circle of relatives and acquaintances to morn his very sudden and unexpected death. -- Drain Echo.
