(1891) JOHN MULL, a horticulturist at Woodland, is a son of Jacob and Almira (Sage) Mull. His father was born in 1807, in the State of New York, and his mother in 1812 in Connecticut, and they are now both living in Oberlin, Ohio. Mr. Mull, the subject of this brief notice, was born in Nunda, Livingston County, New York, February 20, 1832, and was but a year old when the family removed to Ohio. He grew up to manhood there and married Charlotte Chandler, the daughter of Salmon and Naomi Chandler, born May 1, 1832, in Ohio, the date of their marriage being November 9, 1854. Mr. Mull was engaged in agricultural pursuits in Ohio until 1859, when he came overland to California, settling in Yolo County. He took up a quarter section of land about six miles south of Woodland, and occupied it for fifteen years, when he sold it and purchased seven acres in the eastern portion of Woodland, where he now resides. Mrs. Mull is the owner of forty acres six miles south of Woodland, which is rented. Mr. Mull was Road-master for six and a half years, and during his term of office he put upon the county roads the first load of gravel. The children are: George T., who was born September 20, 1855, and Rosa L., who was born October 24, 1857, and is now the wife of William Wallace: both are natives of Ohio.
