Mrs. Marion Muller Succumbs to Long Illness on Sunday

Mrs. Marion Muller died in the Lutheran Hospital in Hampton Sunday, March 13, following a lingering illness.

Marion Frances Muller, the daughter of Ben and Augusta Vanderlas Folkers, was born in Ackley July 31, 1893. At the age of about a year and a half her uncle and aunt, Folkert and Mary Vanderlas Hayenga, took her to their farm two miles southeast of Ackley, where she grew up and lived the remainder of her life, a little over 65 years.

In 1910 she was united in marriage to Charley Neymeyer, who died in 1915. In 1917 she and Jake S. Muller were married. He preceded her in death in 1954.

Mrs. Muller was a member of the West Friesland Presbyterian Church for almost 46 years.

She is survived by four children: Leola (Mrs. Folkert Kuper), Ben Neymeyer, Harvey Muller, and Lucile (Mrs. Dick Murra), all of Ackley; eleven grandchildren; four brothers: John Folkers of Allison, Richard of Ackley, Herbert of Allison, Floyd of Waterloo; two sisters: Mrs. Alice Frerichs of Clarksville, and Mrs. Helen Becker of Ackley. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husbands, one son, Merle, in 1930, three brothers and one sister.

Funeral services were conducted in the West Friesland Church Wednesday afternoon by the Rev. Norman Flink. Interment was in the church cemetery.
