"...Adam and Elizabeth (Midiels) Mueller...were born, reared and married in Germany. They came to the United Stated in 1884, and after landing at New York City, they came directly to Buckman township, Morrison county, Minnesota. In the native land, Adam Mueller followed the occupation of a wagonmaker.....purchased 40 acres, where he still lives.....He is engaged in general farming and stock raising. Mrs. Elizabeth (Midiels) Mueller died in 1894 at the age of thirty eight, leaving her husband and eleven children..."
Sue sent the obit and funeral card last night. Adam and Elizabeth Mueller were Ket's parents. (Ket married John Hesch).
BTW, the U with two dots above it is pronounced UE in English, so when the German letter isn't available in typeface, those letters are substituted for the U....hence, MUELLER. Still, in German, the name is pronounced "Miller" and seems to be interchangeable when written back then. Sheesh.
