WILL THE REAL W.J. MULLIS, PLEASE STAND UP? - Any postal carrier whoever put an envelope in the mail box of a John Smith or Elizabeth Williams frequently wondered if they got it in the right place. The postal carrier on the Dexter rural route had a bigger problem. There were at least two hundred members of the Mullis family who lived on his route. The real problem was there were three Mullises who carried the name of W.J. Mullis. At the suggestion of the carrier, one added a "Sr." to his name, another "Jr.," and the other just plain W. J. Mullis. Atlanta Constitution, July 20, 1938.
