Mrs. Mary Mueller Death Victim Tuesday

Friends in Blair were shocked to learn of the death of Mrs. Mary Mueller which occurred Tuesday evening in the Clarkson hospital in Omaha. Mrs. Mueller had been in poor health for some months and recently was taken to the hospital where she was given medical attention but all that science could do proved futile.

Mary Wiese Mueller was born in Germany October 8, 1873 and when a small child came to this country. She was married to Julius Mueller and some thirty years ago they came to Blair where Mr. Mueller engaged in the grocery business in which business he was connected until his death about twelve years ago.

Five children survive Mr. and Mrs. Mueller, Fred S. of Kearney; Mrs. P. H. Stewart of Omaha; Mrs. John Barry of Blair; Julius of Syracuse, Nebraska; and Mrs. E. H. Fahrenkrog of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Besides the children two brothers survive, Fred Wiese of Snokowish, Washington and William F. Wiese of Buffalo, New York.

The funeral services will be held at 10 o’clock Friday morning from the Bendorf Funeral Home and interment will be made in the Blair cemetery.
