   L. P. MULLINNIX, M. D., Worthington. The parents of the subject of this
sketch, David and Eleanor (Hurst) Mullinnix, were natives respectively of North
Carolina and Tennessee, and his grandfather, Greenbury Mullinnix, was a pioneer
of Indiana, locating in Washington County in 1816, and after living there two
years moving to Putnam County, where he passed the greater part of his remaining
years. David Mullinnix and wife were married in Putnam County, this State, where
they made their home until 1856, when they moved to Effingham County, Ill. In
1865, Mr. Mullinnix returned to Indiana, his wife having died the year before,
and he has since made it his home. Dr. L. P. Mullinnix is one in a family of
nine children, and his birth occurred in Putnam County, Ind., June 5, 1839. He
was raised on a farm, secured a practical education, and when twenty years old
began the study of medicine. On the breaking-out of the war, he enlisted in
Company G, Eleventh Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and, after serving out his term
of enlistment, he again volunteered his services, and was made a member of
Company G, Sixty-second Illinois Volunteers, serving as such until the close of
the war. He was in a number of hard-fought battles, among them being Belmont,
Fort Donelson and Pittsburg Landing. After his return home, he completed his
medical studies, graduating from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of
Indianapolis. He began the practice of his profession in Greene County, and
being a close student of pathology and a successful practitioner, he has not
only gained a lucrative practice, but is recognized as one of the ablest
physicians the county affords. He has been a life long Democrat in politics, and
is a recognized leader of his party in northern Greene County. He is a Mason, a
member of the Knights of Pythias and Knights of Honor, and he and wife belong to
the Protestant Episcopal Church. October 15, 1870, he married Miss Jennie Inman,
who was born June 15, 1850. One son—Maston Parke—is the result of their union.
