MULL FARM SOLD
FOR $50 AN ACRE
----------
Fertile Rush County Land Purchased in 1861 for
$75 and Acre.
----------
Purchased by the Mull family in 1861 the farm was used to assemble herds of mules and horses for the Union army. Court records reveal the purchase price at that time for 160 acres was $75 an acre. Said to be one of the most highly improved farms in southeastern Indiana, the land is fertile and well drained. On it is a house of colonial design, modern in every way.
Sale of the farm marked the close of the estate of Thomas K. Mull,* which formerly included 1,600 acres of land. The Mull family settled in Walker township in 1836 after coming to Indiana from Virginia. The family operated a general store in Manilla seventy-five years. When Cyrus Mull died in the early 1880's, the family was reputed to be the wealthiest land-owning group in Rush county.
Luke W. Duffey, head of the farm sale agency, said the rural real estate market is greatly improved due to the increasing values of all farm commodities. He pointed out that the Mull homestead is the fourth farm of more than 130 acres sold by his agency in thirty days.
