Elder J.N. Mulkey departed this life September 26, 1882 aged 76 yrs 7 ms and 15 ds "Why lament the Christians dying, Why indulge in his tears or gloom, Calmly on his Lord relying, He has met the opening tomb. Hark the golden harps are ringing, Sounds celestial feel his ear, Millions now in heaven singing, Great his joyful entrance there".
