Mr. McMullen was a graduate of La Salle Institute and Catholic University, president of the Merchants Finance Corporation, a director of the Fidelity Savings Bank, a member of the board of directors of the Times and Alleganian Co., and a member of the executive board of the Cumberland Daily News. He was a member of St. Patrick's Catholic Church, and a past district president of the Holy Name Society of Western Maryland. He also held memberships in the Knights of Columbus, being a past grand knight and past district deputy, in Fort Cumberland Post No. 13, American Legion, and in the Forty and Eight Voiture of Cumberland. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Catherine L. (Long) McMullen; one son, John P.; his mother, Mrs. Rose B. McMullen, and a sister, Mrs. Michael F. Prendergast. Page 4 Richard F. McMullen It matters not when it comes, or how, death is invariably a gloomy visitor. It is always a mater of deep sorrow to families, relatives and close associates of those it strikes. But when the grim reaper cuts down the young, or comparatively young, grief becomes more poignant. And when dissolution is sudden and with now warning of its approach, death becomes a shock that is distinctly felt beyond the kinship and close friendships of the deceased and is shared deeply by all sympathetic persons in the community in which it occurs. These latter circumstances apply to the sudden and unexpected passing yesterday afternoon of Richard F. McMullen. This comparatively young man, though not enjoying perfect health for a year or more, seemed, at times, to be on the road to complete recovery and but a few hours before his passing conversed jovially with associate and discussed hopefully plans for future activities. Naturally, his friends were shocked when they heard of his death. And his friends were legion. For Richard McMullen was, outstandingly, a friendly man. To know him meant to like him. He was as democratic as any peasant could be and at the same time as dignified and courteous as a prince should be. With unswerving devotion to righteousness and upright living, he was a jovial and happy companion and in all his activities, exemplified the manners and practices of the true Christian gentleman. A safe counsellor and a logical pleader, he seemed destined for a brilliant and highly successful career, in the profession he chose for his lifework, when shattered health interrupted his professional and business activity. It is but natural that such a man would have numerous friends and admirers and that his sudden passing is a distinct shock to all who knew him. ======= Cumberland Evening Times, 02 Jul 1938, Sat, Page 2 Richard F McMullen Rites Funeral services for Richard F.
