Senator Michael B. Mulkern View All Years

Senator Richards offered the following resolutions:

WHEREAS, An All-wise Providence has removed by death, since the meeting of the former General Assembly, the Senator from the thirty-fifth senatorial district, the Hon. M. B. Mulkern; therefore,

Resolved, That with unfeigned sorrow we mourn the loss of our departed brother. We deplore the sad event that deprived us of his genial presence and his ready counsel; and the State of an intelligent, upright, and honored citizen. We reverence the virtues that endeared him to us, and they will long keep in our hearts his memory fragrant and green.

Resolved, That with feeling hearts we share the grief of his bereaved widow, his fatherless children and the large circle of mourning relatives and friends, and we tender to them our deep and earnest sympathy. It is sweet to remember that among the virtues of the deceased no one shone with brighter radiance or did him greater honor than his tender love and undeviating faithfulness as a husband, and his ardent affection as a father.

Resolved, That these resolutions be spread upon the journal of the Senate, and a copy of the same be transmitted to the House of Representatives, and to the widow of the deceased.

Resolved, That as a further mark of respect the Senate do now adjourn.
