General Notes: Husband - Henry Harrison Mull

---

From The History of Bond and Montgomery Counties, Illinois, 1884:
HENRY H. MULL, farmer, P. O. Woburn, is a thriving farmer of Pennsylvania origin, born September 20, 1840, in Venango County; son of Abraham Mull, who was born in Berks County, 1812, and married Hannah Gilger, who was a native of Lancaster County, same State, daughter of James Gilger. This marriage was crowned by the birth of nine children, of whom Sarah was the eldest. In order of birth came the following: Margaret E., Henry H.. Samuel E., Jonas L., Catharine J., Charles W., David E. and Oliver G., all of whom are living in Pennsylvania, in Venango and Clarion Counties. Father died in 1862; mother yet survives him.
Henry H. received a good common school education, and early in manhood learned the carpenter's trade of his father. In June, 1862, he volunteered to serve three years in the defense of his country's flag, joining Company A, of the One Hundred and Twenty-first Regiment, which command he continued with until the close of the war, serving in all the hotly contested battles from that of Antietam on. At the battle of Gettysburg, he was taken prisoner, but joined his command two months after. He returned home at the end of the war unscathed.
In 1860, he cast his lot and his fortunes with the good people of Bond County, arriving in this township April 18, and immediately engaged at his trade, which he followed regularly until 1873, having, three years previous, located where he now resides, and has improved the place very materially since his occupation. The forty acres occupied by the house was given his wife by her father, when she married, in January, 1870; her name is Priscilla, born in Clarion County, Penn., daughter of Jacob Lilligh. Mr. Mull has added to the forty acres given his wife 180 more, all of which he has earned by his industry and management, having received but about $200 from his father's estate. Has three children \emdash Charles O., John W. and babe not named.


From the History of Bond County, Illinois, 1882, and obituary in The Mulberry Grove Argus, we find the following:
HENRY HARRISON MULL received a good common school education and early in manhood learned the carpenters trade of his father. In June 1862, he joined the Union Army as a member of Co. A 121st Reg. Pa. Vol., being in all the important battles of the eastern campaign, beginning with the great battle of Antietam and ending with the siege at Richmond. At the battle of Gettysburg, he was taken prisoner, but joined his command two months later. He returned home at the end of the Civil War unscathed.
In March 1865 Jacob Lilligh and his wife's brother, Billy Mahle, left Clarion County, Pa. and arrived in Bond County, IL, where they each bought a farm and returned to Pennsylvania to bring their families. HENRY H. MULL was hired to accompany them in their move to their new homes arriving April 18, 1865. In January 1870, HENRY H. MULL married Priscilla Lilligh. Her father gave her 40 acres of land on which Henry built a nice two story house. This small beginning was increased from time to time until the farm comprised 360 acres and HENRY H. MULL was one of the most thriving farmers of Mulberry Grove Township. He was also a director and stockholder in the First National Bank in Mulberry Grove, IL. For a time he was Postmaster at Woburn. He died of pneumonia after an illness of eight days.
