Biography:
HON. HUGH J. MULHOLLAND, who is successfully engaged in the insurance, real estate and contracting business at Kaukauna, Wisconsin, has been a prominent man in this section for many years and has served in numerous offices of trust, honor and responsibility. His life has been a more or less interesting one to consider, filled as it has been with the successful efforts of an earnest and virile man. He is yet in middle life, his birth having taken place April 7, 1852, at Belfast, Ireland, a son of Daniel and Ann Mulholland, who passed their lives in Ireland. In the spring of 1870 Hugh J. Mulholland came to the United States and after spending one week in the city of New York, went to Indiana and remained there until following the great Chicago fire in the following year, when he went to that dismantled city by the lake but found no particular business opening there to claim his attention at that time. He had learned the art of telegraphing and in 1872 secured a position as clerk in a store at Clay Banks, Wisconsin, with the additionial duties of attending to the telegraph office. In 1874 he paid a visit to his brother then living at Indianapolis, and in November, 1875, came from there to Manitowoc, where he was employed as an operator in the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Southern Railroad offices and also made himself useful as assistant to the superintendent. He remained there until the spring of 1876, when he took charge of the station at Reedsville, Wisconsin, for the Lake Shore and Western Railroad, resigning in July, 1880, in 1882 coming to Kaukauna and was placed in charge of the station and telegraph office of the same company in this city, resigning in 1884. He then purchased the Lake Shore House and operated the hotel for a year and then sold, and in the meanwhile, during the first administration of President Cleveland, was appointed postmaster of this city. He embarked in the real estate and insurance business and continued along that line until 1889, when he was elected clerk of the Circuit Court and during the two terms of his incumbency lived at Appleton. When he returned to Kaukauna he resumed his former business activities here, going also into contracting, being numbered at present with the clear-headed and far-seeing business men of his city. Politics have always, more or less, claimed his attention and he served again as postmaster during the second administration of President Cleveland; was a member of the board of supervisors for some years; for twenty-seven years has been a member of the school board; and during 1901 and 1902, was mayor of the city. On August 8, 1876, Mr. Mulholland was married to Miss Catherine Herr, of Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, a daughter of Michael and Catherine Herr, and they have had five children: Mrs. Julius J. Martens, of Kaukauna; George W., in the contracting business; Mrs. Dr. Chaffee, of Illinois; Gordon, who is a High School student, and Hugh, the third son, who is deceased. Mr. Mulholland and family are members of the Catholic Church. He belongs to the Elks, the Knights of Columbus and to the Catholic Knights of Wisconsin.

News Mention:
The young man from Kaukauna responded without hesitation and the following seven young patriots departed on the 10 o'clock train for Appleton, thus placing Kaukauna among the first soldiers called out: Bert W. Fargo, J. Goss, Milo Kutchin, Chas. Chamberlain, Geo. Mulholland, Elmer Fullerton and John Daly. Kaukauna turned out a large crowd at the station to see the boys off and they left amid the cheers of their friends and the shedding of tears of their mothers and sisters. The Appleton Crescent said all Appleton turned out and united to give the company a hearty God speed. It is doubtful if such enthusiasm has ever been seen here even in the memorable days of 1861.
