NECROLOGICAL.

DIED: - At his residence, No. 244 Duperier avenue, in this city on last 
Sunday morning, February 15th, at one o'clock, Mr. Nicholas Muller, a native 
of this parish, born January 14th, 1868. The funeral took place from St. 
Peters Catholic Church on Monday morning at ten o'clock, largely attended by 
the friends and acquaintances of the family.

The deceased was for many years a leading merchant of this city, and at the 
time of his death was the head of a large furniture business on upper Main 
street. Some years ago he married Miss Frotcher of New Orleans and the happy 
young couple erected for themselves a neat and comfortable home on Duperier 
avenue. Here they spent the halcyon days of their wedded life till the grim 
messenger summoned the queen of that home to that bourn from which no 
traveller returns. The blow was one of great weight to the young husband, 
who was left the care of rearing two sons of tender ages. The elder, at the 
time of the death of his father, a student at the Louisiana State 
University, was summoned home; but so swiftly did death ensue the first 
alarming symptoms of his father's brief illness, that he arrived too late to 
see his father again in life. Mr. Muller was upon the street on Friday 
afternoon.

Mr. Muller was a member of the New Iberia Lodge, No. 554, B. P. O. Elks, and 
large numbers of the members of this order followed his lifeless remains to 
their last resting place on earth.

NICHOLAS MULLER. - The entire community was shocked Sunday morning, on
learning of the sudden death, at one o'clock during the preceding night, of
Nicholas Muller, scion of one of the oldest families of Louisiana, and
practically a life long resident of this Parish, where his sterling
qualities and kindly nature secured for him universal respect and esteem.
Born, January 14th, 1868, on his father's plantation near Belle Place, the
decedent first attended the public schools and later entered St. Charles
College, Grand Coteau, from which noted institute he was graduated. Returning
from College he engaged with his father in farming and upon the death of the
latter which occurred a few years later, he assumed charge of the families
interests and for several years conducted the business in a most successful
manner. Later, he accepted an important and responsible position with the late
Richard Frotcher, in New Orleans where he resided for about two year, during
which he was married to Miss Emily Frotcher, daughter of his employer and
friend. City life however was not to hs (sic) liking, and soon after his
marriage he came with his bride, to his old home. Forming a partnershp (sic)
with his brother-in-law, S. G. Harry, the firm of Harry & Muller took instant
rank with the leading establishments of this section. Severing his connection
with Mr. S. G. Harry, he then established the furniture business which bears
his name, and in the management of which he was engaged at the time of his
death; as was he also the manager of the corn shelling and feed mixing plant
of Gates & Muller. Besides these, Mr. Muller was engaged in several other
enterprises, notably amongst which were the State National Bank and the
Tauzin cane derrick and automatic weigher, which was recently patented, and
financed by him, is now about to be placed on the market. Preceeded (sic) to
the grave, seven years ago, by his wife, Mr. Muller is survived by his two
sons, Nicholas III, a student at the L. S. U. and Frotcher, who hereafter
will reside with his aunt, Miss Mary Frotcher, in New Orleans. Besides these,
two brothers and four sisters mourn his loss, these are: Capt. A. N. Muller,
District Attorney of this District and Mr. Joe Muller of New Orleans and
Mesdames Souathe and Joe Steckler of New Orleans; Mrs. Oscar Broussard of
Breaux Bridge and Mrs. S. G. Harry of New Iberia. His funeral from St.
Peter's Catholic church was attended by hundreds of sorrowing friends and was
an eloquent tribute to the memory of the departed. The officers and directors
of the State National Bank and the members of the local Order of Elks acting
as honorary pall bearers while his brothers and brothers-in-law bore the
remains to their last resting place.
