MULHALL, JAMES P.

James P. Mulhall, though a young man, is an old-time resident of Lyon County, and is a familiar presence on the streets of Rock Rapids, where his industrious habits, upright character and kindly disposition have made for him many friends who wish him well and anticipate a successful career.

Mr. Mulhall was born in Illinois in 1866, and both himself and his father are old pioneer settlers in Lyon County. His father was a very hard working man, and was very successful in his farming, as well as in his business operations. He saved his money, and wisely invested, so that at one time he was regarded as one of the wealthier farmers of the county. He had a large family, and all his sons were reared to appreciate the fact that all honest money getting comes from thrift, industry and strict honesty. They are following in his footsteps, and his children maintain his name above a stain.

James P. Mulhall is devoted to an agricultural life, and with his brothers, take rank among the successful farmers of the county. He was married in 1895, and has four children born to him, Ligouire, Frances, Aileen and Alice. Politically he is a Democrat, and in religion belongs to the Catholic Church.
