William served in the 3rd Iowa Infantry (Co E) during the Civil War. He enlisted in May 1864, joining who I believe to be his cousin SGT Guilford Mullen (who had been in from the start, May 1861). William served to the end of the war (the 3rd Iowa was consolidated into the 2nd Iowa during that time). [shared by contributor #49367455]

William James Mullen was born in Carroll county, Indiana, May 13, 1843 and died in Corning, Missouri, December 31, 1909, aged 66 years, 7 months and 18 days. In 1853 he moved with his parents to Story county, Iowa, where he grew to manhood.
He was a veteran of the Civil War, enlisting in Company A. 3rd Iowa Infantry. Owing to the great loss in the Battle of Atlanta, the 3rd and 2nd infantry were consolidated, becoming the 2nd infantry from which he was honorably discharged at the close of the war. Upon his return home he was married to Miss Minerva A. Thornton, of Story county, the date being October 11, 1866. To this union 4 sons and 2 daughters were born, one son preceding the father to the Spirit world. The deceased's oldest brother, J. N. Mullen, of Stockton, Kansas, preceded him in death but 17 days.
Mr. Mullen is survived by his wife, three sons and two daughters, one brother and three sisters, all of whom were present at his funeral services. He was the grandfather of 23 grandchildren 18 of whom are alive. In the spring of 1876 deceased moved to Jewell county, Kansas, and came to Corning in 1893. He had been afflicted with rheumatism for nine years, but his death was caused by a paralytic stroke suffered seven days prior to his death
He was of a genial nature and devout parentage. True to the proverb his last days were found inclining to the narrow way, 'The silver cord is loosed," the Spirit has gone to the God who gave it. In the performance of these last sad rites may our hearts be turned to the testimony of the Word and our feet to the ways of the Lord.
