Donald Clair Muller, 1925-1957

=======================================
"Wray Gazette" Thursday August 15, 1957 

Funeral services were held at the Christian Church at Wray Monday
afternoon for Donald Clair Muller, 32, who died Thursday at Bushnell,
Nebraska.  The Rev. Earl R. Saladen conducted the services and burial
followed in Grandview Cemetery.  Mr Muller was found dead in the
family home near Bushnell Friday.  There was a bullet wound in his
head.  Mr Muller was born February 15, 1925 at Lebanon, Kansas to Noah
and Lena Cox Muller.  He was the youngest of three children and when
he was five weeks old his mother died.

The paternal grandparents, Mr and Mrs A.L. Muller, cared for the
family a few years.  Later his father remarried and established his
own home again, but Don had grown into his grandparents hearts and he
remained with them, although he was closely associated with his
parents and his older sister and brother.  When in 1928, the Noah
Muller family moved from Lebanon, Kansas to Wray, that same fall Don
and his grandparents also moved to Wray.  While a teenage boy he was
baptized into the Christian Church and continued his membership in the
Christian Church at Wray until his death. He received his education in
the Wray schools and graduated from the local high school in the
spring of 1943.  On December 24, 1942 he was married to Miss Geneva
Schafer.  Three children were born to them - Douglas Craig, Janet Kay,
and Cynthia Sue.  Mr Muller enlisted in the Army and served in the
post-war days in the Philippine Islands.  He received his discharge
from the service in March 1946.  After he returned home he operated
the Riverside Dairy Farm at Wray for several years.  The last few
years he had been in construction work here and at points in Nebraska
and was considered a master workman in his chosen trade.

Mr Muller was grief-stricken in February of last year when his
daughter, Cynthis Sue, died unexpectedly.  The incident had affected
his health and attitude.  He is survived by his wife, Geneva, his son
Douglas and daughter Kay, his parents Mr and Mrs Noah Muller of Wray,
a sister Mrs Victor Harris of North Hollywood California, a brother
Bill Muller of Wray and his grandfather A.L. Muller of Wray.
