Dr. W. A. Mulkey, of Kaufman, widely known in North Texas, died January 23, aged sixty-three years. At his request, Adjt. Dan Coffman, of George D. Manion Camp, United Confederate Veterans, sends the following biographical sketch of Dr. Mulkey, written by himself:  "I joined Company C, under Capt. Parsons, Talbotton, Ga., in 1861, and was a part of the Third Georgia Cavalry, commanded by Col. Martin J. Crawford, of Columbus, Ga., a former Congressman. I was elected from the rank to assistant surgeon, and commissioned as such; afterwards commissioned a full surgeon, and served as regimental, brigade, and division surgeon. I was in the battles of Lookout Mountain, Chickamauga, Murfreesboro, Fort Donelson, Resaca, Good Hope Church, and Atlanta. Fell into the hands of the enemy by order to look after our wounded. I was once captured with the Third Georgia Regiment near Bardstown, Ky.; was first taken as a prisoner of war to the barracks in Louisville, Ky.; thence to Columbus, O., thence to Camp Chase, thence to Philadelphia, thence to Baltimore, thence to Fort Delaware, thence to Fortress Monroe; and from there, in the spring of 1864, I was exchanged at Union Point. In addition to the enumerated places I was held a while as a military prisoner in the penitentiary at Nashville, Tenn." Dr. Mulkey was a brother of Evangelist Abe Mulkey, living in Dallas; and George Mulkey, who lives in Fort Worth. He was buried in full Confederate gray.
