Henry J. Dulle, collector of Cole County, and a native of that county, was born at Jefferson City June 4, 1848, and is the son of Girard and Anna Maria (Haake) Dulle, both natives of Hanover, Germany, but who were married in America. The subject of this sketch grew to manhood in Cole County, and in his early life carried on the farming business. He still continues this occupation, and is unusually successful. His father was a miller, and in 1868 Henry J. Dulle and his half-brother, J. W. Schulte, began milling, and the former has been identified with the milling interests of the county ever since. He was married in Jefferson City to Miss Theresa Peschel, a native of Austria, and the daughter of Wenzel and Mary Peschel. Mr. and Mrs. Dulle are the parents of three sons and four daughters living: Eddie, a student at Sedalia Commercial College; Theodore William, Mary Clara, Emma, Ida, Annie and Henry J. Jr. They buried Victor, their fourth child. Mr. and Mrs. Dulle are regular communicants of St. Peter's congregation of the Roman Catholic Church, and Mr. Dulle has served as treasurer of the church committee for six years. He has always identified himself with the Republican party, and was elected by that party to his fourth consecutive term as collector of Cole County. He is a stockholder in the First National Bank of Jefferson City, is a member of St. John's Orphan Society, and also belongs to the Catholic Knights of America.
