WILLIAM McMULLIN
Arizona Silver Belt
Sept. 26, 1891

Another fatal accident occurred in the Old Dominion Copper 
Mine last Saturday evening, William McMullen being killed 
by a cave-in in the fifth level stope. Death was 
instantaneous, almost a ton o ore falling upon the 
unfortunate man.  It seems to have been one of those 
distressing casualties which sometimes happen in big 
mines without any blame attaching to anyone and it is 
deplored by one more than by the management.

William McMullen was an experienced miner and a man of good 
character. His relatives who live at Manito, Illinois, were 
notified by telegram of his untimely death.  The funeral 
took place on Sunday afternoon and was largely attended.
