THRONGS ATTEND MULHALL BURIAL
Oklahoma Ranchman and Pioneer Laid to Rest in Family Cemetery

San Antonio Express, 2 Sep 1931


(By Associated Press)
MULHALL, Okla., Sept. 20.-
On the ranch plot he homesteaded here 42 years ago in the realization of a youthful dream, Col. Zack Mulhall, pioneer ranchman and showman, was buried this afternoon in the presence of 5,000 Oklahomans from all walks of life.

Simple Catholic funeral services marked the final rites of the man whose life typified the Southwestern trail-blazer of the last century. The Rev. F. V. Van Mens, Guthrie, was in charge of the services, held in the old farm house, sequestered among trees planted by Col. Mulhall himself and past which a brook meanders through the oak-studded red soil that attracted thousands of adventurers to a new land when the old Oklahoma Territory was opened to white settlemen in the last part of the past century.
