1901. March. Dennis H. Mulligan passes away in Kentucky. A news
paragraph dated Lexington, Ky., March 15, and published in the
Louisville _Times_ states that Mr. Mulligan “was one of the few
surviving types of the old-fashioned Kentucky gentleman, and his
death caused profound sorrow among all who knew him. Mr.
Mulligan was the father of the Hon. James H. Mulligan, formerly
consul to Samoa. The old gentleman was in his eighty-seventh
year when he died and had long been active in public matters. He
owned a whole town in the very suburbs of Lexington. The place
is known as ‘Grannon,’ and was incorporated as a town with
Dennis Mulligan as mayor, by an act of the Kentucky legislature,
while James H. Mulligan was in the state senate. ‘Grannon’ now
falls to James H. Mulligan.”
