WELL KNOWN MAN
DIED MONDAY

(From Tuesday's Daily.)
Sanford A. Mullen, a prominent resident of Blude Ridge, died at his house at that place Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, of typhoid fever, aged fifty-three years, two months and eleven days. Deceased was born and raised in Shelby county and was a contractor and carpenter most of his life. It is thought that Mr. Mullen's last illness was the result of exposure. He had been building a house for Mr. Roberts, a farmer, and at night would sleep on the new hay in the barn. This is thought to have caused his death. Deceased leaves a widow and nine children -- William Mullen, Harry Mullen, Jacob Mullen, Curtis Mullen, George Mullen, Mrs. Mary Creed, Mrs. Stella Neeb and Misses Ethel and Delpha Mullen. The Odd Fellows, of which order he was a member, will have charge of the funeral services which will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock at the Christian church in Blue Ridge, Rev. Leora Tillison officiating. Interment in the cemetery at Blue Ridge in charge of Stewart & Fix.Friday, September 20, 1907
