OBITUARY --
DENNIS P. MULLEN
Man born of woman is of a few days, his time on earth varied and if God sees fit, his earthly stay can be a long one, but in time as the scripture tells us, all men must return to their Creator.
Dennis Mullen was a man who enjoyed a long earthly life. He was the type of man who found great love in his heart for his wife, children and his many close friends. He was a man who in his lifetime saw great changes in the world, but one thing that did not change in Dennis' life was his faith in the Almighty and so on Wednesday, November 9, 1977, he gave up his earthly family and friends and went to sit beside his Maker in the Celestial body known as Heaven.
Dennis P. Mullen was born to the union of Dennis Patrick Mullen and Bridget Mullen Radigan at Leasburg, Missouri, on September 2, 1884. On November 26, 1909, Miss Lottie Purvine became the bride of Dennis at Cuba, Missouri. To this union eleven children were born.
Having been preceded in death by his loving wife, Lottie, and four children, Edna, Earnest, David and Edward, he leaves to mourn his passing from this life, his three daughters, Virginia Wallis of Leasburg, Mo., Geneva Hendrix of Creve Coeur, Mo., and Marie Nixon of Auxvasse, Mo., his four sons, Roy of Leasburg, Mo., Haskell of Creve Coeur, Mo., Earl of Kansas City, Kansas, and Rev. Oliver Mullen of Sullivan, Mo. He also leaves his daughters-in-law, his sons-in-law, twenty-eight grandchildren, thirty-seven great-grandchildren, his other relatives and being a life long resident of Leasburg, he leaves a host of many, many friends.
Having made peace with his maker, he said farewell after having an earthly life of 93 years, 2 months and 7 days.
Funeral services for Dennis Mullen were 2:00p.m. Friday, November 11, 1977, from the New Testament Baptist Church, Sullivan, Missouri, Dr. Dale Allen and Rev. John Cozart officiating.

William John Mullen was born in the Lick Creek Community near Leasburg, Missouri on May 4, 1880, a child of Lawrence and Lucinda Ray Mullen. He grew to manhood in the area in which he was born and on May 1, 1907 he was united in marriage to Miss Nora Davis. Five sons blessed this union.
For several years following his marriage, Mr. Mullen operated a farm. In 1916 he moved his family to Cuba, Missouri and became the mail carrier on Route 2 and held this position until retirement in 1945.
Mr. Mullen had the misfortune of losing two sons. One died in infancy and the other lived only a few months. His beloved wife preceded him in death in 1949.
Mr. Mullen was dearly beloved by his many relatives, friends and neighbors and many pleasant memories exist for the many extra favors done for his patrons on the mail route. Though a quiet nature he was industrious, kind and helpful, having great charity for all and malice for none.
In matters of faith Mr. Mullen was a lifetime member of the Catholic faith and was a member of Pope Pius X Council No. 3882 Knights of Columbus. Mr. Mullen's church dedicates the month of May to Mary the Mother of Jesus and May proved to be an important month to Mr. Mullen, having been born, married and called to Eternal Rest in May.
Surviving Mr. Mullen are: three sons, William of Cuba, Mo., Henry and Harold of Cosmopolis, Washington. Surviving also are three daughters-in-law, nine grandchildren and two brothers, Charles Mullen and Paul Mullen of Cuba, Mo. Also surviving are his many nieces, nephews, other relatives and a great number of friends.
Mr. Mullen was in state at the Hoener Funeral Home, Cuba, Mo., where many relatives, friends and fellow members of the Knights of Columbus assembled to recite the rosary for him 7:30 p.m. Friday evening, led by the church pastor Father Boland.
On Saturday morning, he was taken to the Holy Cross Church for requiem high mass at 10:00 a.m. sung by Reverend Joseph B. Boland and the Choir of the Holy Cross School accompanied and directed by Sister M. Elizabeth.
