John McMullen

McMULLEN, John, R. C. bishop, born in Ballinahinch, County Down, Ireland. 8 March, 1833; died in Davenport, Iowa, 3 July, 1883. His family emigrated to Canada in his infancy, then removed to Ogdensburg, New York, and settled finally in Chicago, where this son was graduated at St. Mary's college in 1854. He then went to Rome, studied at Urban college, was ordained priest in 1858, received the degree of D. D., and returned to Chicago. In 1861 he became president of the University of St. Mary's of the Lake, which charge he held for four years, and in 1863 began the erection of a new university building, which was destroyed in the great fire. He then spent some time in Wilmington, Illinois, but returned to Chicago in 1870 to take charge of the Cathedral of the Holy Name. In 1877 he was appointed vicar-general of the diocese, and in 1881 consecrated bishop of the new diocese that had been formed in Davenport, Iowa, where he remained until his death. He organized a high-school for boys and several parochial schools, and was the author of many articles on church history.
