Her death came five weeks after she suffered a stroke. She was married to Armor I. Muller on April 12, 1891 at Clarinda. To this union eight children were born. One son died at birth and a second Vada Bryan, in infancy. A daughter, Vaun Corbett, passed away in 1927, and a son Ferd H. in 1952. The children who survive are Noah, Lenna Ashby, Clair, Emma Fleenor, and Donald Muller, a grandson who has been in the home from infancy and regarded as a son. The family moved from Iowa to Nebraska City, Nebraska, where in 1894, Mrs Muller was baptized in the Christian faith. She remained a faithful member of the Christian Church until her death. The Muller's later moved to a farm near Lebanon, Kansas and then in 1928 to a farm just west of Wray. In later years they established their home in Wray. In each of these communities, Mrs Muller has made a memorable contribution to the religious life. In the little country church near Lebanon she taught a class of boys for many years. In Wray she organized and taught a Union Bible Class through which many women became interested in the study of the Bible and made lasting friendships. She will be remembered for her optimism, her originality, her active interest in the worthwhile things, and especially for her staunch Christian faith. Besides her husband and children she leaves 22 grandchildren, 22 great grandchildren, and a sister, Mrs Lennie M. Carr of Carthage, Missouri. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the Christian Church with Rev. Robert Seals officiating. Interment was at Grandview Cemetery. ================================================================= All files are contributed for use by the USGenWeb Archives Project (http://www.usgwarchives.org/).
