Mueller, Henry

Henry Mueller died last week after the death of his wife. Mrs, Johanna Mueller. Like her, he passed away during the night, and unexpectedly. He was found dead in bed, in the morning, by members of the household. Mr. Mueller was very feeble of late and it was known he could not last a great while. About a week or so ago he took the grippe, and this in his feeble condition, was the direct cause of his death. For several years he had been suffering with asthma quite severely, and for five years he had been totally blind. Consequently he was entirely helpless, and for months had been had scarcely been known to be out of the house. One might almost say it was a blessing that the death angel released him from his sufferings and took him to join his wife. Mr, Mueller was over eighty four years old. He was born December 15, 1830 in Germany. He was married to Johanna Schnabel in 1863. They came to America in 1868, settling in Illinois, then moved to this community in 1884. The children living are Chris Mueller and Mrs. Chas. Dierks, also the adopted son, Emil Mueller, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The funeral was held Monday afternoon, with internment in the Evangelical Lutheran Cemetery. Several of the relatives from Newton and Sedgwick were over to attend the ceremonies.
