Mrs. Johanna Mueller, wife of Henry Mueller, died at the home northwest of town last Friday night. Pneumonia was the direct cause of her death, although she had been suffering with dropsy and a complication of disease for sometime. However she was not thought to be so near death, for along about ten o'clock Friday night she had been fairly well and when asked if she desired anything, replied no. About eleven, when the last of the household was retiring, she was again asked if she wished anything, and no answer came. Upon investigation she was found to be dead. Mrs. Mueller's maiden name was Johanna Schnebel. She was born in Emerborn, Braunschweig, Germany, Nov. 18, 1837. In 1863 she was married to Henry Mueller, and in 1868 they emigrated to this country, settling in Joliet, Illinois. They came to this community in 1884, and have lived here ever since. Three children were born to them, Chris Mueller and Mrs. Chas. Dierks, who are now living, and Mrs. Carl Schmidt who died several years ago. Emil Mueller, their grandson, is also adopted son. She leaves also seventeen grandchildren, and four greatgrandchildren, also three sisters. The funeral was held Monday at the Evangelical Lutheran church, with internment in the Evangelical Luthern Cemetery.
