of the late William and Mary Etta Hammett Whatley.  She was 
educated in DeWitt and Stuttgart, and on Dec. 22, 1919, was 
married to the late Mr. Mullikin in DeWitt, where the couple made 
their home for several years. Later they moved to Star City and 
then to Tarry, coming to Pine Bluff in 1935.
    Mrs. Mullikin was a member of Harmony Baptist Church, the 
W.M.U., Circle # 1, and the Dorcas Sunday School Class.
    She leaves three daughters, Mrs. Elbert Branch of Pine Bluff, 
Miss Mildred Mullikin of the staff of the Southwestern Bell 
Telephone Company, and Mrs. H. C. McKinney, Jr. of Springfield, 
Mo.; three sons, Carol D. Mullikin of Columbia, S.C., Pfc.
