CHARLES MULHOLLAND.—He is the son of Peter and Catherine Mulholland, and was
born August 25, 1838, in the county of Londonderry, Ireland. When nine years of
age he, with his parents, went to Scotland, where they remained until 1862, when
he came to the United States. He served throughout the late civil war, being at
Hampton Roads, and taking part in the conquering of the confederate iron-clad
Merrimac. He was with Farragut's fleet on the Mississippi river, was in front of
Vicksburg, and in 1863 was on the U. S. steamer Wachusett when the Florida was
captured. At the close of the war he withdrew from the Navy, and settled in
Pennsylvania. In 1873 he went to Illinois, where he remained four years, when he
came to California and settled in Lassen county. Here he was a preacher in the
Methodist church until the fall of 1879, when he was elected to the legislature
on the republican ticket, as joint representative for Plumas and Lassen
counties, serving in this body with ability, and satisfaction to his
constituents. In 1881 he removed to Greenville, Plumas county, and purchased the
Bulletin, in charge of which he still continues. Under his guidance this paper
is wielding a moral and political influence enjoyed by few papers in Northern
California. Mr. Mulholland was married May 4, 1865, to Miss Mary Havey of Dover,
New Jersey, where she was born June 6, 1846. Their children are Irving, born
February 7, 1866, in New Jersey ; Katie, June 6, 1868, in Pennsylvania; and
Mary, June 4, 1874, in Illinois.
