    1. [S2] NOTES.
      Author: Chapman Brothers, Chicago

      John H. McMullen, farmer, section 26, Evart Township, was born Jan. 16, 1831, in Kilkenny Co., Ireland, of which county his parents were also natives. His mother was born Nov. 2, 1809; his father, April 22, 1810. They emigrated to America in 1832, with two children - John and Mary Ann - (the latter is now deceased) and located at West Guillemsbury, Simcoe Co., Ont. They purchased 100 acres of land, and soon after sold a portion of the property to a relative. The remainder was sold soon afterward, and they entered a claim of 200 acres in the township of Mara, Ontario Co., Can. They maintained a residence thereon about 18 years, when the father sold the farm and engaged in a mercantile enterprise in the same township, combing in therewith the manufacture of potash. He was Postmaster at that point for 18 years.

      In 1865 Mr. McMullen sold his Canadian property entire, and in the fall of the same year came to Ottawa Co., Mich., where he remained three years on a farm, of which he became the owner. He was not satisfied with the place, and in 1868 sold out and removed to Evart Township, where he bought 80 acres of wild, unimproved land. He has cleared away the forest and has 62 acres in excellent farming condition, with good and valuable farm buildings. He now owns 160 acres.

      He is a Democrat in political connection and views.

      He was married in Orillia, Ont., in 1864, to Jessie Elder, and they are the parents of eight children, viz: William J., born Oct. 22, 1864; Harry, Oct. 7, 1866; Julia, Oct. 19, 1868; David D., July 18, 1871; George M., Dec. 29, 1873; May, May 12, 1877; Ernest O., Feb. 29, 1880; Ada E., Nov. 6, 1882. Mrs. McMullen is the daughter of James E. and Jeannette(Wilson) Elder, who reside in Mara, Canada. She was born March 35, 1847. the record of her brothers and sisters is as follows: Mary H., Jane L. (deceased), Wilhelmina, John E., James T., David W., Christina F., George M. and William M.
      Following is the record of the brothers and sisters of Mr. McMullen: Mary Ann(deceased), Ada, William A., Margaret A., Louisa (deceased), George M., Jane E. (deceased), David and Emma. William C. and Margaret (Nesbitt) McMullen, the parents of Mr. McMullen of this sketch, removed to Osceola County in 1868 and reside on section 26, Evart Township. The family are in sympathy with the Episcopal Church.
