   WILLIAM P. MULLIKIN, Justice of the Peace and farmer, was born February 1,
1842. In 1853, his father located west of Windfall, and here the boy William
assisted to carve a home out of the forest. He received considerable schooling
and began teaching in 1860. In August, 1862, he enlisted in Company G,
Eighty-ninth Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry; his first engagement was at
Munfordsville, Ky., where his regiment was captured. Mr. Mullikin, after being
exchanged, was wounded in the head at Fort DeRussy, La., and left on the field
for dead; he did not become wholly conscious for three months, and was away from
his regiment six months. Subsequently he saw varied and severe service in
Tennessee and Missouri until his discharge in July, 1865. Returning home, he
taught school in various places, and also engaged in the lumber business. In
1873, he was Principal of the Windfall Schools. In 1877, he removed to the
fifty-five-acre farm where he now lives. He has been Town Clerk, Assessor,
Treasurer and Justice of the Peace. Mr. Mullikin has been three times married,
the last time to Miss Henrietta S. Ludwig, of Franklin County. By this marriage
there are two children- Sarah M. and Ida Leora. By the earlier marriages there
were Emmet G., Alva M., Metta Inez and Ivy Edna. Mr. Mullikin is a member of the
Presbyterian Church and his wife of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His first
wife, Mrs. Casandra Mullikin, presented him with twins, who died at the age of
nine months, and later presented him with triplets, who also died in infancy.
