Most of what we know about Joseph Henry Mullineaux comes from his obituary:
"General Joe Mullineaus Dies, Aged 89
Through Many Decades He Contributed to Joys Of Living In His Home Town
Joe Mulleaux, affectionately known as "General" and "Uncle Joe" died about 11 o'clock Saturday night at his home on Third Avenue, just below Cedar. He was in his 90th year. His last serious illness was of but a few days duration but he had been in a grave condition about six weeks ago and for a considerable period last winter.
He Knew The Town
Death of General Mullineaux takes from the city the one citizen who was commonly accredited with having the most first hand information about Gallipolis and he was often consulted by newspapermen and others relative to family relationships and the history of the city's older business blocks and homes.
Funeral services will be held at the home of E.L. Neal and family at 1:30 Tuesday, in charge of Rev. Lewis Webber Gishler. Burial at Mound Hill by George J. Wetherholt & Sons.
Joseph Henry Mullineaux was born June 22, 1850, in what was then known as the General Tupper property which stood on State Street, next to what is now the Park Central Hotel. On that site is the former Henking home recently converted into a duplex by Dr. L.C. Bean. Joe Mullineaux was the son of James and Philena Mullineaux.
A Familiar Name
Mullineaux as a family name has been known in England since the Norman conquest nine centuries ago. Presumably it is of French origin and if so originally meant water mill, many have assumed.
James Mullineaux founder of the Gallipolis family that bears his name, was born in Market Drayton, England in 1806. He came to this country in 1820 and served as a carpenter and joiners apprentice. He returned to England, married his first wife there, came back to this country in 1838 and settled in Wilkesville. He and his family came here a decade later.
Many present day homes in Gallipolis were built by him and his older sons, as was the Vinton County Courthouse recently razed.
He was the last of his generation of a family that had had a leading part in the up building of Gallipolis from 1848 till after the turn of the century.
Though in some measure he had the heart and the manner of a born vivant, a boulevardier, "General Joe" spent virtually all his life between Grape and Cedar Streets, an area four blocks long. He yearned not for the far places but found happiness and good fellowship in the narrow circles in which he moved and he was the "life of the party" on countless occasions. As old friends dropped out of his circle because of death or because of desire to seek success elsewhere, he made new friends of the younger groups and despite the continuous changes in his associations he remained a general favorite and was usually placed at the head of the table.
Physically General Mullineaux bore a marked resemblance to Mark Hanna, who became an outstanding national political leader with the election of McKinley to the Presidency in 1896. The two never met much to the regret of many impressed by the similarity of their bodily contour and features. But between the General and a later political leader of national fame, Harry M. Daugherty, there was a close bond of friendship, formed when both were courting the Gallipolis teachers they later married.
Mr. Mullineaux's business career was limited to the secretaryship of the firm of Mullineaux Bros. who operated a planning mill a few doors below where he died and who were building contractors as their father was.
In 1893 Mr. Mullineaux and Miss Mary Aleshire, music instruction in the local schools, were married and until her death about 30 years ago they made their home in the old Aleshire property at 228 Third Avenue, now owned and occupied by Mr & Mrs. C.A. Boster. They had no children. For the last two decades Miss Emedelia Wells had been his faithful housekeeper.
Decedent was a half brother of the late William, John and James Mullineaux and a full brother of the late Mrs. S.A. Rathburn, Fred and Charles Mullineaux and of Mrs. E. Lincoln Neal. Numerous nephews and nieces survive."
