  CHARLES WILLIAM MUELLER, deceased. When a man has resided in a community for a number of years and has proven himself always industrious, energetic, responsible and public-spirited, his death is keenly felt among his fellow townsmen, and his place is not readily filled. Such a man was the late Charles William Mueller, who was born in Berlin, Germany, March 2, 1856, and died in Grand Chute township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, March 9, 1905. Mr. Mueller was a son of Frederick and Bertha Mueller, the former born October 19, 1828, and the latter November 6, 1839, both in Germany, neither of whom ever left the Fatherland. Charles W. Mueller came to the United States when fourteen years of age with an aunt, and they located in Outagamie county, where Mr. Mueller attended school for about one year, having been previously tutored in his native country. He worked on the farms of Ellington township until his marriage, after which for one year he operated on his father-inlaw's farm for one year. He then secured employment in the grist mill in Appleton for three years, and spent a number of years in the lumber yard, but eventually purchased a farm in Grand Chute township, where he was actively engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death. He was a member of the Evangelical Church and a Republican in politics. On November 27, 1880, Mr. Mueller was united in marriage with Helen Lipke, who was born in Ellington township, Outagamie county, February 15, 1861, daughter of Henry and Henrietta (Angelroth) Lipke, natives of Germany, the former born February 14, 1829, and the latter January 10, 1835. They were married in Outagamie county. Henry Lipke came to America in 1847 with his mother, his father having died in Germany, and settled at Germantown, Dodge county. He worked as a farm hand for some time, and when twenty years of age came to Outagamie county, and for six years operated a farm in Ellington township. He was then married and continued to live on the homestead for thirty-two years, when he retired and moved to Appleton. In that city the mother died September 23, 1905, and the father continued to live there until removing to the home of Mrs. Mueller, where he died September 24, 1909. Mrs. Mueller was one of two children, and the only survivor. Since her husband's death she has continued on the homestead, operating the farm with the help of her children and has added seventy-eight acres more to the property, in addition to purchasing $1,100 worth of stock. She makes a specialty of registered Holstein cattle and now has a fine herd of twenty-four head. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Mueller, namely: Edward Otto; Henry Arnold, born December 24, 1883, assisting on the home farm; Alvin Steffen, born October 7, 1886, who died April 26, 1905; Emma Henrietta, born January 24, 1889; Helen Hattie, born November 7, 1891, and Bertha Bonita, born January 9, 1894. Edward Otto Mueller was born July 25, 1882, and was educated at the Appleton schools, Lawrence University and the State University, where he took a dairy course. He then learned the cheesemaking trade at Wausau, and was employed at the Eagle Manufacturing Company's plant in Appleton, but since his father's death he has devoted his entire time and attention to the home farm.
