The Cairo Evening Citizen, Monday, 9 Sep 1901:
"Conductor Walter Mulliken, of the Mobile & Ohio, fell from his train two miles above Jonesboro, last evening about 7 or 8 o’clock and was picked up dead. It is believed he died of heart disease. His train had broken in two on the steep grade there, and he was on the detached portion, trying to check its speed. It is thought the peril of the situation had a fatal effect upon him. Mr. Mullikin was one of the oldest conductors on the road. His family lives at Murphysboro."
