  Notes	. Milton attended the Mt. Ida School and acquired a teachingcertificate. School was conducted during the three summer months. Thestandard pay was thirty dollars a month or ninety dollars for theterm. Milton was the only son of Pleasant Mullings to marry and havechildren before leaving Arkansas. There is a family tale about a happening while Milton and Lola werecourting. They were seated before the fireplace one night at Lola'shome. Other members of the family had retired for the night. It wasa custom of the times for the head of the family and his wife tooccupy a bed in the room with the fireplace. Sometimes it was theonly room in some of the frontier homes. In any case, smallerchildren were bedded down on pallets on the floor. The light from thefireplace was their only light. As the two were seated in the glowingand flickering light, Milton was chewing his tobacco and quite relaxedand happy. Tobacco chewers always took a lot of pride in theirmarksmanship when they spat their "ambeer" into the fireplace. Miltontook good aim at his target. But the fire just sizzled a moment anddied a complete death. Lola's father crawled out of bed and madeMilton go home. Milton D. Mullings was granted a homestead on December 28, 1893 at theCamden, Montgomery County, Arkansas land office. See Document Sectionfor copy of homestead. After teaching a short time in Arkansas at thirty dollars a month forthe term of three months and having news of better salaries and plentyof jobs in Texas the Mullings boys decided to make the move to Texas.Having no families, Will and Wayne were the first ones to leave forTexas. Milton went later since he had a family and made the trip bywagon. About 1900 Milton drove the wagon loaded with all thehousehold equipment that could be moved. Several head of horses andcattle were driven by a couple of young men who wanted to go alongjust for the trip. Johnson did not go with Milton but remained for afew days to dispose of what property that was not moved. Johnson madethe trip by train. Johnson's future wife, Josephine had gone to Texaswith her parents earlier. It is believed that Milton had polio which crippled one leg. He wasthen struck by a car when crossing a street in Stamford, Texas and thegood leg was injured. He walked with canes and was a heavy man in hislater years.
