Notes From Maple Grove:
On Thursday evening, March 5th John Mullins breathed his last at his home in Reedsville, after an illness of three months. Deceased was born in Ireland 83 years ago. He came to Maple Grove with his parents and brothers and sisters.
He then purchased a piece of timber land and undertook the task of clearing up a farm in the wilderness. A few years later he was united in marriage to Miss Nancy O'Connell. This union was blessed with eight children, six of whom survive him. Deceased had one of the largest farms in the vicinity until about four years ago he disposed of his entire estate to his sons and purchased a fine residence in Reedsville, where he resided with his wife until he was called to eternal rest.
In his death the community has lost a man who was much respected by all. He was always ready to help a friend and never forgot a good turn. He was a man of unusual strength and activity, and although he toiled on the farm for over fifty years, clearing away the forest, he was strong and hearty. Two years ago he celebrated his golden wedding and amused his guests by dancing jigs, clogs and reels. He was one of the most supple and jolly men in the crowd. He is survived by his widow, two daughters and four sons. The daughters are Mrs. John Foley of East Wayside and Mrs. Dan O'Leary of this place. The sons are Pat of Deer River, Minnesota, William and John of this place, Brian of Grimms and James of Brown County. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Thos. Mangin of Manitowoc, and two brothers, William of Antigo and Patrick of Michigan. The funeral was held Saturday morning from his home in Reedsville to St. Patrick's church, Maple Grove, where a solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. G. J. O'Connell, assisted by Rev. J. T. O'Leary of Manitowoc and a priest from Appleton. The funeral cortege was one of the largest ever seen in this vicinity and showed the esteem in which the deceased was held by the community.
His remains were laid to rest in the family lot in Maple Grove cemetery, where 55 years ago he cut down the first tree from the site of the present cemetery. Peace to his soul.
