   William Mallett, miller, Stone Bluff, was born in Lawrence county, Indiana,
in 1832, and is the son of Silas and Elizabeth Mallett; the former a native of
Connecticut, and came to Indiana in an early time, the latter a native of North
Carolina. William Mallett was reared a farmer, which he pursued until 1875, when
he bought the water-mill known as the Stone Bluff mill, which he still continues
to operate. He was married in 1858, to Eliza J. Hawlins, native of Indiana, who
died in 1866, leaving four children, Charles, Lizzie, Wallas, and Alvin, to
mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate mother. She was also a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Mallett is one of the firm republicans in Van
Buren township. He began life in meagre circumstances, with a still more meagre
common school education. By energy, industry and economy he has succeeded in
gaining a good business in both the grist and saw mill, and his work meets with
general approval.
