has worked all his life.  At the age of twenty-one he sailed for Amer-
ica, and after spending a short time in New York found his way to Gas-
conade County, Mo., where he again resumed his trade in the southern
part of the county, until 1882, at which date he moved to Morrison, and
where he has since had a good business.  In 1870 he was united in marr-
iage to Miss Pauline Gronert, a native of Prussia, Germany, who bore 
him eight children, three sons and five daughters.  All the family are
members of the Catholic Church, and are respected and esteemed citizens.
Their eldest son, Henry, is learning the trade of his father.  Mr.
Mueller is a Democrat, politically, is a member of the C. K. & A.,
