J.M. Mullen, “the wide awake restaurant man,” is a son of J. H. and Ann (Williams) Mullen, and was born in Henry county, Indiana, in April, 1858. When J. M. was eight years old the family came to Iowa, and settled in Shell Rock, Butler county, and here the son received his education and passed his youth. His first business enterprise was the opening of a restaurant, in Parkersburg, in 1878. One year later he launched in the same business at his old home, where he still continues, and enjoys a liberal patronage. In 1881 he was married to Miss Maggie Brock, of Waverly.
