JOHN E. MUELLER

From Der Nord Westen, 18 Apr. 1907:
Death in Kiel Sunday morning of John E. Mueller at the age of 79 yrs. 9 mos. and 15 days. The deceased had lived in Kiel since he was 5-1/2 years old and is survived by his widow, 6 sons, 3 daughters and 34 grandchildren.
**************
On Sunday morning at 1:00 AM, Mr. John E. Mueller died at his home here, at the age of 79 years, 9 months and 15 days. The deceased was born in Bibelsheim, Hessen-Darmstad, Germany on June 22, 1827 and came to America in 1847 with his parents, who first settled in Germantown. After a one-year stay, he came to the Town of Rhine. In 1854 he married Sabine Mueller, the sister of Mr. J. C. Mueller, after which the newlywed couple moved to a farm of their own. The marriage was blessed with eleven children, of which two have died. Mr. Mueller was the oldest resident of the Town of Rhine, having lived there for 48 years. For the past 5-1/2 years he and his wife have lived in Kiel. The deceased had always been in good health and may be the reason he has reached this high age. Recently he contracted a lung infection, but had recovered when he came down with a cold, which brought on his death. He leaves behind his grieving wife, six sons, three daughters, 34 grandchildren, three brothers and one sister. The burial took place on Wednesday afternoon, with the Odd Fellows Lodge officiating, of which he had been a member for many years.
