Dr. Muller was an exceptionally able and high-minded person. Time never staled his interest in biblical and theological discussion. Using a typewriter with changeable type (his father's typeset which was handed down to him), he would prepare church calendars that were models of typographical design. He loved nature and at one time was an expert keeper of bees. Schooled in both German and English as a child, he renewed his bilingual skill for his last pastorate and preached to the two congregations, each hearing the Word in the language it knew best and loved most. He once affirmed, "I am not in the ministry for money, but for the service I can render." His closest friends never doubted the genuineness of this testimony.
For thirty-five years Dr. Muller carried on an effective ministry despite a progressive ailment, Paget's disease, which softens the bones and shortens the stature. During the last years of his life, his eyesight was seriously impaired. His pastor, the Rev. W. G. Sorenson, of First Methodist Church, Asbury Park, said that the faithful attendance and loyal participation of Dr. and Mrs. Muller were an inspiration to him and to the laity of that church. At the private service at Rosehill Crematory, Dr. Sorenson used a special Committal that Dr. Muller himself had prepared. (Written by Henry Lyle Lambdin)
