peacefully at the family home at Mishicot Saturday evening after

a year ago. The funeral will be held from the home Wednesday afternoon

school which was located on his father’s farm and at the age of
fourteen, left home to learn the wagonmaker’s trade. For five years,
he was employed by F. Bruemmer at Mishicot and then went to Milwaukee

business from his brother, Bruno Mueller.
In 1878, Mr. Mueller was married to Miss Josephine Wagner of Mishicot
who passed away in 1890. Two children were born to that union, Eleanor,
wife of Dr. W.W. Brown of Minneapolis, and Laura, who married H.H.
Schroeder of New England, North Dakota.
Mr. Mueller was married a second time in 1903 to Miss Minnie Specht of
Mishicot who, with two daughters by the first marriage, one brother,
Albert Mueller, and a sister, Mrs. Anton Vogt, of Tacoma, Washington,
and three grandchildren, Lorine Brown and Marie Janice and Juel Schroeder,
survive him.
In politics, Mr. Mueller was a democrat and held a number of town offices.
He was also president and a director of the State Bank of Mishicot and
was always identified with movements for advancement of the village. He
was widely known throughout the county and was popular.
