County Republican & Press (Neillsville, Wis.) 01/27/1921 Mueller, Jacob (18
NOV 1860 - 20 Jan 1921) Jacob Mueller, one
of the older residents of this city (Neillsville, Clark County,
Wis.), was called suddenly by death, Thursday, Jan. 20th, 1921. He
was apparently in his usual health, ate a hearty dinner and went
over to John Marx’s to saw wood. John Marx Jr., noticed him
fall and ran to his assistance, but got no reply when he spoke to
the stricken man. He ran over and got Wm. Jacques and summoned Dr.
Monk, who found that life was extinct, death resulting from heart
failure. Deceased was born
at Ehrang, Rhine Province, Germany, Nov. 18, 1860, and he was
therefore 66 years, 2 months and two days old, at his death. He
came with his parents to America when seven years old, landing at
New York City. Later they came to Bay View, Wis., where he grew to
manhood. He was married to Elizabeth Justinger of Newburg. To them
were born six children, five of who survive, Josephine dying about
7 years ago. His first wife died 19 years ago, Jan. 9, 1906. He was
married to Mrs. Peter Marx, who survives him. Besides his wife he
leaves to mourn his death one son, Mathew Mueller of Madison; four
daughters: Mrs. Geo Pettra of Levis, Mrs. Harry Evelyn of
Milwaukee, Misses Helen and Theresa Mueller of Milwaukee; also four
brothers and three sisters: Joseph of Neillsville, John of Oshkosh,
Peter of Rice Lake, Anthony of Anchorage, Alaska, Mrs. Robert Teatz
of York, Mrs. Ed Pittsley and Mrs. Rose Dolan of Manitowoc. Jacob Mueller was
an honest, industrious man who lived a pious Christian life. He was
considered very faithful by all who employed him, giving an honest
day’s work for his wages. Such a man is a worthy example to
the rising generation. He was a kind husband and father, and a
worthy citizen in every way. The funeral was
held Monday forenoon at St. Mary’s Church, burial taking
place in the Catholic Cemetery. Those from away who attended the
funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Mathew Mueller of Madison, Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Evelyn and daughter Harriet of Milwaukee (the rest of my copy
