MINA (WILHELMINE) MUELLER (d. 1905) (From the correspondent in Mishicott, 20 June) News reached here from Manitowoc Fri. last week that Mrs. Mueller had died. The Mueller family had lived here for many years, and the elderly lady was widely known and admired. Der Nord Westen, 22 June 1905 ********* Death here Fri. of Mrs. Wilhelmine Mueller, nee H. H*bermann (type disturbed), widow of the late Heinrich Mueller and mother of the former Deed Registrar Bruno Mueller. Mrs. Mueller was born 23 May 1827 in Coblenz on the Rhine and came to America in 1846. In that same year she married Heinrich Mueller in Milwaukee and moved with him into what was then the wilderness of Town Mishicott where they built a successful farm through the trials and troubles of pioneer life. In 1883 Heinrich Mueller died and 2 yrs. later in 1885, the widow gave up their farm on which she had spent 39 yrs. of her life, and moved to Mishicott to reside with the family of her son, Bruno. When Bruno Mueller was elected Registrar, she moved with him to Manitowoc and it was here that she died. Mrs. Mueller, who had always enjoyed good physical and mental health, was busy in her garden on Sat. morning, 10 June, and had reentered the house to change her clothes. At that point she suffered a stroke. It must have struck shortly after she entered the house because Bruno Mueller found his mother draped over the wash-basin and had not fallen to the floor. Medical help was sent for but because of her age little was hoped for. She was unconscious and remained so until she died 6 days later on Friday. Mrs. Mueller leaves 6 children, namely, sons Albert and Eduard, and a daughter, Mrs. Muehlenbruch, all in the State of Washington; Wilhelm in Mishicott; and a son, the above named Bruno, and a daughter Mrs. Anton Vogt here in Manitowoc; as well as 15 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren.

Mueller, a woman 78 years of age, died at the home of her son, Bruno, in Manitowoc last Friday from the effects of a stroke of paralysis which she suffered a few days previous. She was born in Germany but came to America and to Milwaukee in 1846 and was married in that city shortly after her arrival. Soon after her marriage she and her husband settled upon a tract of land in the Town of Mishicot where they continued to reside until the death of her husband, which took place 22 years ago. She left six children, all grown up, Edward and Albert and Mrs. Muehlenbach of Tacoma, Wash., Bruno and Mrs. A. Vogt of Manitowoc and William of Mishicot. She was buried by the side of her husband in the Mishicot cemetery yesterday. She was a devoted wife and mother and most estimable woman.

She was the first matron of the Manitowoc county asylum, a position she held for the 12 years her husband was the first superintendent, and she was actively identified with her late husband in the early days of the Schreihart Brewing company, an interest she maintained when the plant was consolidated into the Manitowoc Products company.
