Carl Mullins 

     I will try with the help of God to write an obituary of our father and 
husband Carl Mullins.  The son of Joe and Mintie Mullins, he was born in Pike 
County, Ky. on January 22, 1902; deceased this life on February 8, 1967, at 
his home after a long illness, making his stay on earth 65 years and 17 days.  
He married Georgia Stacey Mullins on November 7, 1929, and to this union seven 
children were born-one daughter, Peggy Ratliff of Edison, Ohio, and six sons, 
Kenneth Ray of Cardington, Ohio, Paul Clinton of Elkhorn City, Ky., Carl Roger 
of Detroit, Mich., Jimmie Ferrel of Louisville, Ky., Danny Goble of Elkhorn 
City, Ky. and Ronnie Keith at home.  One four month old son preceded him in 
Death. 
     Also to morn his passing are two brothers, Howard Mullins of Clincho, Va. 
and Woodrow Mullins of Meadowview, Va., and two sisters, Gertrude Casebolt of 
Meadowview, Va., and Belle Counts of Baltimore, Md., together with twelve 
grandchildren and a host of cousins, including one in particular whom he 
always called “Aunt Elsie,” Elsie Jones of Fords Branch, Ky.  He stayed with 
her so much when he was very young and she was so good to him-bless her 
heart.  He also leaves a host of friends and neighborns to mourn his loss. 
     His children miss him.  Home will never be the same without Daddy.  His 
friends and his home church will miss him, but nobody in this world more than 
I do.  I tried to do everything for him that I could.  I prayed so hard for 
the good, dear Master to give me strength to take care of him as long as he 
needed me, and I believe my prayers were answered. 
     Just a few nights before he died he said his feet and legs were hurting 
and as I was on my knees bathing his feet he patted me on the shoulder and 
said-“Georgia, bless your heart.  If you don’t get a crown for anything else 
you’ll surely get one for taking such good care of me.”  But no matter how 
hard I tried to keep him with me, it came time for the good Lord to call him 
home and take him out of his suffering, heartaches and troubles, and I had to 
stand back. 
     My only desire is that when this life is over here, I, too, can enter 
into that beautiful home where Carl is resting.  He doesn’t need me for his 
right hand there-as he said so many times that I was his right hand here. 
     Carl was a retired miner.  He professed a hope in Christ and joined the 
Regular Baptist Church about fifteen years ago and lived a faithful member 
until his death.  He went to church and filled his seat as long as he was able 
to do so, his membership being with the Cedar Grove Church.  He was sick for a 
long time and bore his illness with patience.  He was a humble man. 
     I miss him so much, but I feel that God has called him to a better home.  
He has come to the end of life’s pathway, lain aside the worries and pain and 
heartache of this old world, and has entered into eternal rest which God has 
promised all his children. 
     So, children, Daddy has gone and cannot come back to you, but you can all 
go to join him some day if you will have faith in God and will forsake your 
wicked ways and pray for the Lord to have mercy on your poor souls.  Then 
there will be no more farewells and separations.  May God bless and take care 
of you all.  Remember our loss is Heaven’s gain.
