Franklin News-Herald, Saturday, May 3 1913:
Rudolph Mulholland, 89, died at 1:30 pm Friday at the home of his son, James Mulholland, Utica, where he had lived since the death of his daughter, Mrs. Daniel Yarnell of Frenchcreek Township, a few months ago. He was born at Snow Shoe Furnace, Centre County.
He came to this section of the state with his parents. In his youth he was employed as charcoal burner in Centre, Clarion and Venango Counties. When the Drake Well was completed, he moved to Oil Creek valley and worked as a driller. One of his first jobs was assisting in putting down a well on the McClintock farm by means of a springpole. He had a personal acquaintance with Colonel Drake, who expressed the opinion that oil would be found at greater depths that it had been discovered up to that time. Until 23 years ago, Mr. Mulholland followed the business of contracting and drilling, and his work included 19 wells for E. E. Clapp, and a number for T. W. Phillips. Many years of his life was spent in Dempseytown, and he moved from there to Frenchcreek township, and from there to Utica.
He married Miss Rachel McLain of Clarion County, who died, and only four of nine children survive, as follows: Mrs. Hattie Dixon of Chicago, Irwin Mulholland of Evans City, Mrs. Lester Cauvel of Dempseytown, and James Mulholland of Utica; a sister, Mrs. Mary Robinson of Black Ash, survives, and a brother, Irwin Mulholland of Dempseytown.
Services will be at Dempseytown at 10 am Monday.
