Death entered the home of James E. McMullen in Prairie Creek township Thursday, May 11, and robbed the pleasant circle of the gentle and beloved wife and mother. Death followed an illness of several days, subsequent to the birth of a babe, and the sad end was a severe blow to the young husband, the parents and the family of deceased. The little babe whose advent terminated the life of the parent, did not long survive, but on Sunday morning its small, pure spirit took its flight to join the departed mother. Mrs. McMullen's maiden name was Mary C. Dunn, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E . W. Dunn of Washington township, Jones county. She was born September 1st, 1876, in the above mentioned township. Six years ago she was married to James E. McMullen. She possessed the virtues of a Christian woman, a faithful wife, a devoted mother, a dutiful daughter and sincere
friend. Her death is deeply deplored. She is survived by her husband and two children, Christina aged 1, and Joseph aged 2. Two children are dead, Viola, and the infant, Anthony Clifford, whose brief life terminated on Sunday. She is also survived by her parents Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Dunn, and the following brothers and sisters: W. J. Dunn of Hugo; E. F. Dunn of Prairie Creek; J.H. Dunn of Helena, Mont.; Ellen, of Hugo; Margaret, of Prairie Creek; and Frank Dunn, of Bernard.
