Mr. Lindsay Mullinnix, one of the long time residents of this place, died Saturday night or Sunday morning at his home. He had long been a widower. The funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the home of his son, T. L. Mullinnix. Deceased was well advanced in years, but his exact age we did not learn.
