Wife of Selby Patterson The Swayzee Press / Thursday, June 26, 1941 The death angel has again visited our community and called home one of the best loved women of Swayzee. The loss to the home, the church and community life is beyond measure. Nettie Shanahan Mullins was born August 25, 1871. She was the daughter of James and Nancy Buroker Shanahan, pioneer residents of Sims township. Nettie began life in a log cabin on the Shanahan farm now owned by her brother, Sereno. Her oldest brother, Noah, preceded her in death. Her other brother, Dr. Alva A., lives in Marion and her sister, Clora, wife of William Glessner, is a resident of Sims township. Nettie's school privileges were obtained at the district school known as the Mark school. Early in life she untied with the Methodist Protestant Church, now the Grace Methodist Church, of Swayzee, but later she and her husband transferred their membership to the First Methodist Church of Swayzee. On June 1, 1890, she was united in marriage to Selby P. Mullins. To this union were born Virgil P. Mullins, who is State High School Inspector, Indianapolis; Denzil, who connected with a bakery in Kokomo; and Merwyn, who is a member of the faculty of the Hammond schools. There were also two infants, a boy and a girl, who lived but a few hours. Three grandchildren are living. Nettie and Selby came to Swayzee soon after their marriage and built the home where they have lived all these years. On June 2, 1940, they celebrated their golden wedding anniversary and the large concourse of people who attended this occassion bore testimony of the deep respect and high regard in which they were held. For eleven years Mrs. Mullins was a faithful teacher of the Women's Bible class and gave evidence of her loyalty to the Master's work. She also was prominent in the work of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and never failed to assert herself against intemperance. She was also a member of the Rebekah Order back in the halcyon days of that organization in this community. No eulogy can do Nettie justice. Her life was an open book. She has left her imprint on this community that time cannot obliterate. She left us on June 20, 1941. The community sorrows in her passing, but our loss is her gain. The Lord, my shepherd, walks with me in pastures cool and green. My feet are led along the path, my hand in His, serene. Content, I walk in ways of peace or tread the rock steep; I cannot fear or doubt or want while I His precepts keep. He speaks; I feel no want but Him, for I obey His will. Here in this comradeship deving His work with joy shall fill. And when the fearsome Vale of Shade shall bring death near to me, I'll close my eyes and take His hand; I shall not need to see. Funeral services were held at the First Methodist church Sunday afternoon, condutted by the pastor, Rev. J. E. Lawshe. Burial was made in the Swayzee IOOF cemetery.
