H. A. Mullett, assistant general manager of the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company of Milwaukee, was born in Louisville, Kentucky, December 11, 1880, and is a son of Richard B. and Anna R. (Warren) Mullett, who were natives of Ohio and Kentucky, respectively. The father for many years devoted his life to mercantile pursuits in Kansas City, Missouri, removing to that state during the early boyhood of his son.

It was in the public schools of Kansas City that H. A. Mullett pursued his early education, while later he attended a technical school at Terre Haute, Indiana, and was there graduated in 1904 with the degree of Electrical Engineer. In the same year he became associated with the Westinghouse Electrical Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and was thus associated until 1906, when he came to Milwaukee and has since been connected with the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Company, of which he is now the assistant general manager. His first position was that of assistant to the superintendent of equipment and later he was advanced to the superintendency of that department. In 1918 he was made assistant general manager of the company and is now actively associated with the direction of its affairs. His position is one of large responsibility and his capability for the office is widely recognized.

Grossenbach of Milwaukee, the vice president of the Mechanics Insurance Company, represented at length on another page of this work.
