Mueller Brothers Store and Saloon 1917

To review: my dad's uncle John Hesch (1878-1926) married Ket MUELLER (1880-1956), and Ket's brothers owned this store and saloon in Buckman. We're trying to figure out where it was in town, and who the people in front were for sure. (Click to enlarge).
A big THANK YOU to Bob Mueller, who's grandfather was Peter Mueller, and who's dad might be one of the kids there?
COOL!

Later--Bob says the seated man is John Mueller, and the other man is his brother Peter Mueller. The kids are pretty much the right ages to be Pete's kids Mathias, Mathilda, Irene and Elizabeth, but we're not SURE about that. Btw, Mathias was Bob's dad).
