In the death of Col. Zack Mulhall, who died at his home in Mulhall on September 18, Oklahoma
loses one of her most beloved pioneers who took a colorful part in the early history of the State.
Col. Mulhall was born 84 years ago. He was raised in the rough environments of the St. Louis lots,
where ferryboats loaded cattle across the Mississippi. Heeding the call of the West and to fulfill his ambition
to own a western ranch, he came to Oklahoma 38 years ago at the opening of the Cherokee Strip. He was married
in 1876 and since the death of his wife last January he has been in failing health.
He is survived by two daughters, Lucille Mulhall, one-time champion American roper, holding the record
for roping and throwing a steer in 22 seconds, and Mrs. Mildred Carmichael of Florida, and one son,
Charles Mulhall, of California.
