William Mueller, 76, is Dead, Aged 76.
Veteran Furniture Dealer and Undertaker of County Passed Away Saturday.
William Mueller, lifelong resident of the county and lately retired
from the furniture and undertaking business at Mishicot, passed away
peacefully at the family home at Mishicot Saturday evening after
suffering a relapse from a physical and nervous breakdown of more than
a year ago. The funeral will be held from the home Wednesday afternoon
at 2 o’clock and burial will be at the Mishicot Cemetery.
Deceased was 76 years old, having been born in the town of Mishicot
August 31, 1851. He received his early education in the Saxonburg
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
and St. Louis where he worked at his trade until 1882 when he returned
to Mishicot and continued to make his home until his death. He engaged
in the furniture and undertaking business in 1898, taking over the
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.
