    1. MULLET - INTERESTING OBIT

    3. ATTENTION: W. Mullet ancestors - "In Salem, W. Mullet, aged 101, born without eyes, known to many generations of boys and girls as one of the most sagacious and good tempered blind men. He was for many years town crier - and was remarkable for the sonorous melody of his voice, and strength of his memory and the unerring instinct with which he threaded his way through the most crowded avenues. He had frequently passed into the neighboring towns to a distance of 8 or 10 miles. He was a married man with a considerable family of children, whom he also carried to school in infancy in a truckle cart. He boasted that his wife was the handsomest woman he ever saw! This was probably in May 1836." I was searching for Morgan information when I saw this typewritten obit at the Genealogy Dept. of Flower Memorial Library in Watertown. The map shows Salem in Washington County, slightly northeast of Saratoga Springs. My reason for posting is the human interest aspect. He lived to be 101 which means he was born about 1735! ! !
