From the Texas Helper of October 29 we learn that . . . Rev.
D. G. Molloy died in Tehuacana last Thursday night, and was buried
on Saturday, October 24. "Uncle Dan" Molloy, as he was
familiarly known by hundreds of people, has been for many years
a very active and useful preacher in our church in Texas. A number
of our leading churches were organized by him, and many hundreds
of souls have been won to Christ under his ministry. He was a
gentle, sweet-spirited man, courteous to everybody, consecrated
to God, and loved by all who admire true character and worth.
Other hands will doubtless furnish a more extended notice of him
later.

Presbyterian, Nov. 12, 1903, page 628]
The Reverend Molloy was born August 25, 1825, in Limestone County, Alabama.
He became a candidate for the ministry at seventeen years of age, and came to Dallas in 1847, and preached in the old log courthouse, then later, about 1853, he went back to Dallas and preached a short time in a saloon.
Later in 1853, he came to Waxahachie and organized a Cumberland Presbyterian Church which he served as pastor until 1861. While in Waxahachie as pastor he taught school, for how long is now known, in a building on the lot in front of the present Post Office.
In August, 1890 (date not certain), the Rev. Molloy organized what is now Trinity Presbyterian Church in Oak Cliff. He supplied this church for two years.
His longest and most effective ministry was with the Cumberland Presbyterian Church at Shiloh, near the village of Ovilla, in the northwestern part of Ellis County.
He was a very quiet and dignified gentleman, educated and deeply spiritual. He was familiarly called "Uncle Dan" as he visited with the people of the community going from home to home in his buggy drawn by a bay horse.
He was married to Miss Martha M. White, a sister of the Rev. R. M. White, January 18, 1855. The Rev. Finis E. King, then pastor at Shiloh, performed the ceremony. Several years later she died, leaving a son and a daughter.
A few years later the Rev. Molloy married Miss Sue Gillespie, a sister of Prof. W. P. Gillespie, teacher of Greek and Latin in Trinity University. The daughter from this marriage is Mrs. Rosalie Ulmer, wife of the Rev. Ernest Ulmer, a Presbyterian minister.
Rev. Molloy died at Tehuacana in 1903 and is buried there.

Presbyterian Church: Waxahachie, Texas," page 11]
Daniel Gideon Molloy belonged to the Ewing Presbytery,
as he is listed among the ministers absent. Apparently he progressed
more rapidly through the various trials preparatory to ordination
than did Strickland. Hickman makes the following sstatement concerning
him: "Daniel Gideon Molloy received as a candidate
in October 1846; licensed 1847; ordained in 1850 and dismissed
to Texas where he had a long and honorable record."

Sister Martha Malloy was born in 1830 in Lawrence county, Alabama; was the daughter of Hon. R. M. White; professed religion and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in 1846; she was married to Rev. D. G. Malloy in 1855; departed this life September 1, 1876. No one performed more faithfully the duties of life than she. She was liberally educated, clear in her conceptions, firm in purpose, died not regard toil or sacrifice to glorify God. Shortly before her death she was satisfied that the cause of so much coldness in the church, was the want of piety and consecration to God on the part of the female members.
She died in the triumphs of a Redeemer's love. "She being dead, yet speaketh."
Her husband and children, and a multitude of relations and
friends, deeply mourn their loss. W.
D. WEAR.
