Armor Leander Muller 1872-1960

=====================================================
Thursday, Jan 14, 1960 "Wray Gazette"  Wray, Colorado

Armor Leander Muller, a widely known resident of Wray for a number of
years, died Sunday at the Cedardale Nursing Home, where he had been a
patient for the past three years and he had been in failing health due
to his advanced age for this period.  He was born May 23, 1872 at
Clarinda, Iowa, and was 87 years, 8 months, and 17 days old at the
time of his death.  The funeral service was held Tuesday afternoon at
the Christian Church in Wray with the Rev. G. Arland Johnson
officiating.  Interment was at Grandview Cemetery.

On April 12, 1892 Mr Muller was married to Maude Weaver and the couple
lived to celebrate their 62nd wedding anniversary before Mrs Muller's
death.  The family moved from Iowa to Nebraska City, Nebraska in 1894,
and later moved to a farm near Lebanon, Kansas, where they made their
home for many years and were active in the life of the community.
From there they moved to Wray where they spent their remaining years. 
Eight children were born to Mr and Mrs Muller.  Two sons died in
infancy, a daughter Vaun Corbett, died in 1927, and a son, Ferd, died
in 1952.  A grandson, Donald Clair, who had lived in the home since
infancy and was regarded as a son, died in 1957.  The surviving
children are Noah and Clair of Wray, Lenna Ashby of Sterling and Emma
Fleenor of Greeley. 

Mr Muller was baptized in the Oak Creek Christian Church, south of
Lebanon, Kansas, and later, after moving to Wray, joined with his wife
and family in placing their membership in the Wray Christian Church.
Mr Muller was a rugged individual who endured many hardships common to
the pioneer.  He was a man of courage and high principle.  Besides the
children, survivors include 21 grandchildren, 37 great grandchildren
and one great great grandchild.
