For years I have been searching for a photo of Emma G. Mullen, and now thanks to the wonders of the Internet (and help from an old friend) I've located two images of Mullen from her passport applications. The lighter one, at left, is from a 1914 emergency passport application. The other is from 1916.
The photos from nearly a century ago show a face that is full of character. Her smile is a bit lopsided, but her eyes sparkle with interest. She would have been an interesting person to know.
Friday, April 12, 1918:
Miss Mullen’s death was confirmed in last night’s Herald in the following notice: “On March 29, victim of bombardment on Good Friday, Emma G. Mullen. Funeral service will be held at the American Church, 21 rue de Berri, on Friday, Apr. 12, at 11 A.M.”
