JOHN McMULLEN

JOHN McMULLEN was born July 21, 1881, in Barton County and since 1895 has been
engaged in the printing and publishing business, with the exception of five
years while he was engaged in farming west of Great Bend. He received his
education in the schools of Barton County and began to learn the printing trade
in the office of the Barton County Democrat in 1895. He was married October 7,
1892, to Miss Mabel DeMotte and they are the parents, of five children, four of
whom are living, two boys and two girls, while their first child died in
infancy. January 1, 1911, Mr. McMullen took charge of the Ellinwood Leader
having purchased the plant, and since it has been under his management he has
made of it one of the leading weekly publications of this part of the state. The
Leader was established in September, 1896 by J. W. A. Cook who published it
until the fall of 1909 when John C. Meyers was appointed manager of the plant.
Mr. Meyers continued the publication of the paper until Mr. McMullen took
charge. There are few, if any, young business men of the county who are better
or more favorably known than John McMullen. Being a product of the county he is
naturally very proud of his home town and county and he devotes his paper and
his personal efforts to the best interests of the community in which he lives.
