BENJAMIN MULL, farmer; P. O. Lebanon; was born in Turtle Creek Township Jan. 29, 1840; he is the son of Reuben and Catharine (Spindler) Mull, natives of Pennsylvania, of Dutch descent; his father was a wagon-maker by trade and worked at that trade until about 1855; his wagons were of the best and always found a ready sale; he was so careful to have his material of the best quality and his work done in the best manner possible, that he was unable to compete with the men who were then making an inferior and cheaper wagon. Therefore, he retired from the business and devoted his time to farming, in which he was eminently successful, and succeeded in acquiring a fine farm of 152 acres. He had a family of nine children, all of whom reside in Ohio, and all, except one, are married. Our subject was reared on the farm, and, in 1865, married Miss Catharine Hathaway, a daughter of A. B. Hathaway. They have four children, viz., Sarah L., Bertie F., Lelia Pearl and Earnest C. The parents are both members of the M. E. Church, and belong to the best class of the farming community of the county. |
