Mulvanie, James, There are no more representative men in Grundy County than 
those who utilize the natural advantages of their locality for agricultural 
purposes, and found among them is James Mulvanie, of Vienna Township. He was 
born September 24, 1851, in Ormstown, Canada, a son of Patrick and Mary 
(Moore) Mulvanie. The father died at the old home in Canada in 1854 and the 
mother in Illinois in 1875.

James Mulvanie came to Grundy County, Ill., in 1871, where he rented land for 
ten years, and then bought a farm in the southern part of Vienna Township. 
This he improved, and four years later sold, and purchased his present 
property, one-half mile south of Wauponsee Station.  The home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Mulvanie is a fine farm of 240 acres and the improvements are evidence of 
earnest effort, intelligently directed.

On March 28, 1877, James Mulvanie was married to Fannie May Harford, born in 
Vienna Township, a daughter of Aaron and Frances (Dewey) Harford, natives of 
Connecticut and England, respectively. Mr. and Mrs. Mulvanie have one child, 
Jessie, born May 8, 1880, now the wife of E. B. Benson of Vienna Township.  
Mr. Mulvanie has served his school district as director and the township as 
assessor, road commissioner and supervisor, at all times proving himself 
efficient and conscientious. Fraternally he belongs to Verona Lodge No. 757, 
A. F. & A. M., and Verona Lodge, K. P. In these fraternal relations as in the 
outside world, Mr. Mulvanie is popular and well deserves the prosperity which 
has attended him.
