The remains of Miss Louise Mueller, a daughter of Lansing's pioneer book-binder, the late Ernest Mueller, who died at Minneapolis Thursday, April 22d,(1926) were brought here on the late train yesterday and buried in the family lot in Oak Hill cemetery, Rev. N. E. Bottom, of the Federated Church conducting brief services at the grave. Deceased was born Nov. 30, 1836 at Yeverdon, Switzerland, and came with her parents to America in 1845, first settling at Galena, Ill., and later on a farm in Lansing township, now the property of George Stirn. In the early '70's they moved to this city, where Mr. Mueller conducted a book-bindery for several years before his death. Miss Norma Mueller, of LaCrosse, Wis., a niece, came Monday to make the funeral arrangements.
