Mary Margaret Aleshire was the oldest daughter of Rueben and Margaret Alshire. She had one sister, who died in childhood, and eight brothers. On 11 June 1893 she married Joseph Henry Mullineaux in Gallipolis, Gallia Co., Ohio. They had no children.

Most of what we know about Mary Mullineaux comes from her obituary:

The Passing of Mary Aleshire Mullineux
A Prominent, Lovable and Useful Woman Who Has Gone
As briefly mentioned yesterday, Mrs. Mary Margaret Aleshire, wife of Mr. Joseph Mullineux, died at their home on lower 3rd avenue in this city between one and two o'clock, Wednesday, October 27, 1909.
The funeral servics will be conducted at her late residence by Rev. Ernest R. Meyer of St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Friday afternoon at half-past one o'clock. The interment will be by Hayward, at Mound Hill cemetery, the pall bearers officiating being her nephews Messrs. Henry, Page, Ned and Halsey Aleshire of Huntington and Messrs. Thomas L. Bell and Fred M. Bovie of this city.
The complicated causes of Mrs. Mullineux's death caused her much and long continued suffering, which was borne with resignation and sweetness of disposition, that endeared her to those who surrounded her bedside, and who sought every conceivable method of alleviation, and who rendered her every imaginable attention, tending to comfort her in body and mind.
She was of an uncomplaining character, strong and confident in herself, and though her health was not of the best it was not until she took to her bed on the 18th of July, that her condition was regarded at all serious. Anxiety was followed with serious and alarming conditions, drifting into a critical state, followed by utter hopelessness when her watchers and those she loved were compelled to see her fade away, day by day, until the hour when her spirit took flight to unknown realms and her body was released from suffering and her relatives and friends were plunged into the deepest grief.
The whole town is sad because of Mrs. Mullneux's death. We might stop here for it is enough to say of any one. When universal sorrow prevails over the death of one, as in this case, where they were born and grew to adult age, and their life has been an open book, which all have read, be sure, that sorrow is sincere and falls upon a worthy life, and not a flower will dispense its beauty and fragrance upon the casket that is not worthily bestowed.
There are many yet living who remember well the prominence of this large and influential family in all our business and social life. She was the daughter of Reuben and Margaret Aleshire, and, for most of her life the only daughter reared amid all the environments essential to the perfect development of natural ability, and becoming the accomplished lady that she was.
We said it was a large family: There was Reuben Aleshire the father, who died in 1888; Margaret, the mother who died in 1896; Capt. Chas.C. Aleshire; their first born, who died in 1889; Edward S. who died in 1905; Joseph P., who died in 1886; Reuben Jr., who died in 1909; then came Mary: after Mary came John who died in infancy; then William who died in infancy; then came Gen'l. James R. Aleshire now Quartermaster General of the U.S.Army; then Maggie who died in her third year; then Harry now at Great Falls, Mont., engaged in copper mining. All gone but the General and Harry.
Through all of the sickness and death in her parents' family, Mrs. Mullineux was an ever present helper and comforter. Being the only daughter she was her mother's constant companion and solace in her declining years sickness and death and yet, with all of these demands upon her through the different stages of her life, she found much time and pleasure for social activities and to teach music of which she was very fond, and taught in both the public schools and the Academy.
She was an active member of St. Peter's Episcopal Church. She took part in all public matters where women so often take a prominent part, and was in the front rank wherever good women were called and needed She was more than kind to the sick and needy, and her passing will be felt in many homes.
She was united in marriage with Mr. Joseph Mullineux, member of one of the most prominent families in Gallipolis June 11, 1893, and they have resided happily together at the old Reuben Aleshire homestead, one of the prettiest and most comfortable homes in the city. He will have the deepest sympathy of all in this cruel separation and bereavement that death has caused him. His lot will be hard to bear. And the remaining brothers and nephews of the deceased, who found their sister and aunt ever kind and loving will also have the sympathy of our entire community.
