Nicholas J. Mullet, residing on his valuable farm of one hundred and

seventy-five acres in Bethlehem township, was born in Switzerland, May

10, 1834, his parents being Steven and Anna M. Mullet, who were also

natives of that country. In 1850, however, the father emigrated to the

United States, locating in Coshocton county, Ohio. His family numbered

nine children namely: Mary; Fanny and Elizabeth who are deceased; Nicholas

J., of this review; Steven and John, who have also passed away; Jonas

and Jacob, who are residents of this county; and Barbara, who has likewise

been called to the home beyond. The parents of these chilren are deceased.

Nicholas J. Mullet acquired a common-school education and remained

under the parental roof until he had attained his majority,

subsequently working at the shoemaker's trade and also as a farmer.

In 1865 he removed to Missouri and made his home in that state for

three years. He was engaged in the operation of rented land until

1892 and afterward purchased his present farm of one hundred and

seventy-five acres in Bethlehem township, in the cultivation of which

he has since been successfully engaged. He also raises and feeds stock

on quite an extensive scale and, by reason of his unfaltering

industry and capable management, has met with a gratifying measure

of prosperity in his undertaking.

In 1804 Mr. Mullet was joined in wedlock to Miss Mary A. Mullet, though

of the same name, was not a relative. She was born in Coshocton county,

Ohio, in 1844, a daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Mullet, who are deceased.

She has but one brother, Solomon. Unto our subject and his wife have

been born sixteen children, as follows: Andrew L., whose natal day

was May 14, 1864, and who is now a resident of Michigan; Elizabeth E.,

born October 4, 1865, who is the wife of John Rodhe, of this county;

Albert P., who has passed away; Edward J. and Charles H., living in

Coshocton county; Amanda C., the wife of Burnside Bantum, of Bethlehem

township; Martha S., the wife of Charles Steyer, of Adams township;

Jacob N., living in Michigan; Jessie F., who resides in Canton, Ohio;

Henry C., of Bethlehem township; Mary J., the wife of J. Easter, of

Coshocton county; Coe J., also a resident of this county; Matthew K.,

at home; Maude J., the wife of David Easter, of this county; and

Charlotte V., also at home.

Mr. Mullet gives stanch allegiance to the men and measures of the

democracy, and has served as school director. Both he and his wife are

devoted and faithful members of the Evangelical church, and are

widley and favorably known throughout the county, not only by reason

of the long period of their residence here but also because they have

ever manifested those sterling traits of character which in every

land and clime command respect and admiration. They have a good group

picture of themselves and sixteen children, which took first prize

at the county fair at Coshocton in the fall of 1908.
