Note: According to Mary's daughter, Julia Catherine Schacherl: "In case you wonder about the names - - when Grandpa Miller came to America his name was spelled Miller. However, when a wealthy family (Mueller Brewing Co. owners) came to Two Rivers, Grandpa said 'That family is educated and wealthy, so they ought to know how to spell the name correctly.' That is when he changed the spelling to Mueller. I don't know if it was through the Court, legally, or just on his own. In those days I don't think it mattered very much. Some of the children kept the Miller spelling and some changed to Mueller." All sent in by researcher/see contributors page)

MINA (WILHELMINE) MUELLER cemetery #44 From Der Nord Westen, 22 June 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. ********* From 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. The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from Bruno Mueller’s residence, and all of her children, even those from the far west, were present. ******* [Wilhelmina Mueller/bur. 06-20-1905/age 78 yrs./cause: hemorrhage]

However, when a wealthy family (Mueller Brewing Co. owners) came to Two Rivers, Grandpa said 'That family is educated and wealthy, so they ought to know how to spell the name correctly.' That is when he changed the spelling to Mueller. I don't know if it was through the Court, legally, or just on his own. In those days I don't think it mattered very much. Some of the children kept the Miller spelling and some changed to Mueller." All sent in by researcher/see contributors page)
