Mildred Underwood's, Irene Kaub's, and Julia Mulvany's letters & notes:
John & Julia lived in Council Bluffs, Pacific City & Glenwood, IA (about 20 mi. from Council Bluffs) until the Dec. 1899. They left their farm near Glenwood, Iowa on Dec. 2 in a covered wagon with their children Frances, Irene and Fred.
In the wagon were some of their house hold possessions, several little Bantam (Banty) hens, and one Bantam rooster which kept them in fresh eggs. The furniture included a walnut dresser & chest (now Carolyn Crawford's) and an oak wash stand and square table (both now Ruth I. Stude's). They had a heating stove in the wagon and gathered firewood along the way to help keep them warm.
They crossed the Missouri River at White Cloud on Dec. 6 and the river was full of floating ice. The ice was so bad that the ferry operator said it would be the last trip across for some time. Irene fell on the rough frozen ground and broke her arm just before they crossed over. A brother-in-law, Jim Baker, made the trip with them in another covered wagon, his family having gone on before by train.
They arrived at John Mulvany's parents home NE of Baldwin, KS after 9 days on the road, Dec. 11, 1899. They didn't live in a log cabin right after they came to Kansas, but lived in Baldwin, KS. They lived in and near Baldwin until the Spring of 1911, except for 2 1/2 years spent in Lincoln, NE. The rest of Julia's life was spent in and near Ottawa, KS.
John & Julia joined the Tauy Baptist Church on Nov. 2, 1921. John had joined the Baptist Church when a young man.

Irene Kaub & Mildred Underwood's notes & letters: Alfred & Allie Richardson, John and (Minnie) Anna Snethen (and looks like with Grandma Mulvany), came to KS in 1899 in three covered wagons, with their children Edna & Ethel and they also brought 2 cows. Mae, Archie & Edgar Baker came to KS in the summer on the train, 1899. Jim Baker came the following Dec. with a covered wagon, along with John & Julia Mulvany and their children.

From letter written by Nina "Frances" Mulvany to her sister, Irene Mulvany, prob. 1913 (typed as written): Papa shore give me a scare yesterday morning. He was going to feed the calves when the lightening strick the ground about 30 feet from him. The pony was about the same distance from the place as papa was. Papa said that he saw the smoke raise from the ground and the pony fall and almost at the same time it jerk the bucket out of his hand and was the last he could remember.
Mr. Dyer saw papa fall and thought he was killed. Him and Charlie run out to where he was and in a little while he came too. It run up his right leg and settle in the back of his head. He was awful sick and had an awful headache all day. The Dr. said he was shore it wouldn't have killed him if he had have his rubble suit on. He was feeling a hold lot better this morning. He has gone down to the other place to plow corn."

OBITUARY
John Calvin Mulvany was born in Howard County, Kan., Aug. 18, 1871. He was married to Miss Julia Scheer on June 14, 1892 at Council Bluffs, Iowa, by C.W. Brewer of that place. There nine children born to them, seven daughters and two sons. Two daughters died in infancy, one daughter, Nina Frances died Nov. 13, 1914 at the age of 21 years and 3 months. One son, Frederick LeRoy died July 22, 1918, at the age of 20 years, 9 months. The four daughters living are: Mrs. Ernest Kaub, 530 Mulberry street, Ottawa, Kan.; Misses Elsie, Evelyn, and Mildred L. Mulvany, and the son, Mark C. Mulvany, residing with their widowed mother at the home place, R.F.D. No. 8, Ottawa, Kan. There are also two grandsons living, Elroy J., and Frank E. (Frank C.) Kaub.
The deceased was sick only a few days, and died at Community hospital of septic peritonitis, at 1:00 a.m., Dec. 9, 1923, at the age of 52 years, 3 months, 21 days.
Being a well known farmer, living seven miles northeast of Ottawa, his funeral was the largest ever held at the Tauy Baptist church of which he was a member. The pastor was assisted by Rev. H. A Manewal, a special friend of the deceased. He offered prayer and sang a special hymn, "No Night There." The text used for the funeral sermon was Rev. 21-25. His pastor was with Brother Mulvany during the closing hours of life and many were the expressions of resignation to the will of God and victory through faith in Jesus while he was nearing the border of the spirit world. His was a tempestuous voyage over life's ocean but his Saviour piloted him safely into the harbor of the celestial city and mingling as he did his "good-by" to those he loved whom he left behind with his songs of victory and expressions of deep consolation and praise to his Saviour-pilot, John Calvin Mulvany entered the quiet harbor of eternal rest where we hope to greet him in the morning of that day that shall have no sunset.
Many tokens of Christian sympathy were rendered to the family by the church and citizens.
Thus, on Tuesday the 11th day of Dec., 1923, at 2:30 p.m., we laid his body to rest in Stony Point cemetery near Baldwin, Kans., to await the call of God in the resurrection from the dead. Let us confidently expect to meet him in the first call for over such the second death shall have no power. - Rev. J.A. Beltz.
