Peter H. McNulty


Peter H. McNulty, a merchant and real estate operator and, concurrently, an officer from 1880 and a major from 1889 in the New York National Guard, was a multi term turn of the 19th century Democratic Party New York State Senator from Brooklyn's 6th District. McNulty apparently a few years after this service in the legislature died, remarkably, of "acute indigestion".
Major McNulty's legislative tenure on each end just missed Theodore Roosevelt's earlier tenure therein and Roosevelt's later return to New York state politics as its Governor.
