WILLIAM S. MULL secretary and treasurer of the Bucks County 
Contribution Insurance company, P.O. Morrisville, was born 
in Falls township, Bucks county, November 30, 1815, and is a 
son of Martin and Lydia (Hance) Mull, also natives of Falls 
township, and of English and German descent.  Both his 
paternal and maternal ancestors were among the early 
settlers of this place, his father and grandfather being 
farmers in this county all their lives.  Our subject was the 
second in a family of five children.  He was reared on the 
farm, and received his earliest education in Falls township, 
and subsequently attended the high school in Burlington, N. 
J.  His first occupation was that of a teacher.  In 1846 he 
embarked in the coal business, which occupied him until 
1880, when he accepted his present position.  He was elected 
treasurer by the company, and was appointed secretary by the 
board of trustees.  In 1858 he married Mary, daughter of 
Isaac and Lydia (Anderson) Parsons.  This lady is of English 
origin.  Mr. and Mrs. Mull have two children:  Lydia H. and 
Margaret R.
