Mr. R. P. Mulock received a telegram from Butte, Montana, yesterday announcing the death at that place of his son Homan – a victim of typhoid pneumonia. No other particulars accompanied the announcement. The remains will be forwarded to his former home, Solon, Iowa.
Homan J. Mulock was born at the Huron Mine, South Superior, Michigan, and was aged 29 years, 2 months and 24 days. Colfax people remember him as the freehearted, genial young man who was at one time employed by the magnetic Rock Spring Company in this place. Since going to Butte he was engaged in mining. This is the sixth death in Mr. Mulock’s family within five months and we sincerely hope completes a tower of afflictions which invokes the deepest sympathy of all.

Homan J. Mulock was born at the Huron Mine, South Superior, Michigan, and was aged 29 years, 2 months and 24 days. As a boy he was studious at school and dutiful at home. His education was acquired at the public schools of Houghton, Mich., and Solon, Iowa, from which latter he was graduated, just previous to coming here.
Colfax people remember him as the free hearted, genial young man who was at one time employed by the Magnetic Rock Spring company. From here he went, first to Omaha and subsequently to Burlington, where for two years he was employed in the machine shops of the C.B. & Q. railway. Afterwards, he went west and was thereafter employed as engineer at the Alice mine at Missoula, Montana, up to the time of his death, which occurred on the 28th ult., after a short illness with typhoid pneumonia.
