 Presbyterian banner. (Pittsburgh, Pa.) January 27, 1864
Died on the 2d of January, 1869, at his residence in Indiana County, Pa., Mr.
Alexander McMullen, in the 74th year of his age. The deceased was born in Franklin
County, Pa. When a young men, he served as a soldier in the war of 1812,
participating in the battles of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane. In early life he made a
profession of his faith in Christ, uniting with the Presbyterian church under Rev.
Dr. King. In 1816 he married Miss Catharine McKinie, of Franklin County. In 1818 he
removed to Indiana County, Pa., where he united with the Presbyterian church of
Bethel, under the pastoral care of Rev. Joseph W. Henderson. In 1834 he met with a
sore bereavement in the death of Mrs. McMullen.  In 1835 he married Miss Rebecca
Campbell, who still survives him. In 1839 Mr. McMullen was elected to the office of
Ruling Elder. Mr. McMullen was the father of a large family, and few parents are
permitted to have more satisfaction with their children than he had. He was afforded
the pleasure of seeing them all, excepting his two youngest, members of the
Presbyterian Church. Two of his sons are successfully engaged in the practice of
medicine. And one who is no more, fell on the battlefield in front of Richmond. And
near the same time, also, a grandson, Lewis McFarland. They were noble youths and
brave soldiers, and their memories deserve to be cherished with fond and lasting
remembrance...
