Death of David McMullen
David McMullen died at the family home on west Durrant street, Monday afternoon. He has been confined to his bed for about three months, being sent thereto by an accident which occurred in February, in which he fell upon the ice and sustained a fracture of the hip. He had almost recovered from the fracture but the vital forces were so reduced that he could not rally from the shock.
Deceased was born in Montgomery county, Ohio Sept. 18, 1819. When less than a year old, his parents moved to Wayne County, Ind., and later to St. Joseph county. Here he resided until 1874, when he came to Iowa, settling in this county. He bought a farm southwest of town, near Windy Knoll, where the family lived until about four years ago. They then moved to their present home in Harlan.
The greater part of the long life of the deceased was spent in St. Joseph county, Indiana. For many years prior to his removal therefrom he was believed to be the oldest settler in the county. He married there in July 20, 1841 to Miss Elizabeth Bainter, who survives him. Four children were born to them. They are: G. E. McMullen of Irwin, Maggie E. Elser of Cherokee county, Sarah E. McMullen and Lizzie M. Gillett of Harlan. All were present at the funeral, which was held at the house Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, conducted by Elder Meyers of the Dunker church. Burial was made in the city cemetery.
I am interested in sharing notes with anyone connected to this family.
