Harry Heinrich Herman was the first child born to Karl and Clara Heling Moeller. He arrived on October 24, 1909 in Cicero, Outagamie Co., Wisconsin. He would be followed by four sisters and then a brother. Harry attended the local Seymour school but only completed one year of high school, before seeking work and a trade.
In the US 1930 Census, Harry was still living at home with his parents and Grandmother Moeller, in Cicero Township. He was listed as being an electrician.
While living at home, Harry met Marguerite C. Kronz from Black Creek and a courtship followed which resulted in a married on April 16, 1931 in Black Creek. Marguerite was one of five daughters born to William and Rose Guelig Kronz. Her grandparents had immigrated from Germany. Harry, age 30yrs, was living in Seymour at the time of the 1940 US Census. He was married with two children, Jack and Audrey, employed by District Manager Electric Utility.

In 1941 the Moellers moved to Gillett and at purchased a large two story white house with black trim house at 113 S. Birch Ave. There were flower boxes in the front that Marg filled with bright plastic flowers in the spring and replaced when they were faded. They were living here when their third child, Gary was born. They would live the rest of their lives there and become intricate, valued members of Gillett's community.
They were members of St. Johns Catholic church and Harry sometimes played the organ there.
Harry continued his career in electric work and became quite good at all HVAC work. He kept the freezers cold at the Parkside Dairy and the furnaces warming and air conditioning cooling at all of the businesses in town. Harry worked on a 24x7 basis, and talked to himself the whole time.
He was delighted when the Townsends moved in next door and offered them the old two car wooden garage, so that a larger building could be erected. The garage was moved/slid across the alley and Harry had even more room to store all of his treasurers. They already had two garages, but cars were always parked outside.
In his last working years, Harry was employed as an engineer by St. Mary's Hospital in Green Bay, Wisconsin and generally worked the late or night shift. He never let down the people of Gillett who might need him, and he could get more accomplished on the hospital maintenance systems when folks weren't around to interrupt him.
Harry was very active in the AA Association work.
Harry was resting in his favorite chair in his front room as Marguerite was busy with housework. Because it was her way, she was probably talking to him non-stop as she moved about, and as was his way, he didn't responds. When she finally came into the room she thought he was asleep, but he had crossed over, he died December 31, 1981. Marg called Wallace Townsend to come and check on Harry. Harry was buried with Marguerite in Saint John Catholic Cemetery in Gillett, Oconto Co., WI.
