HENRY MULLER
Henry Muller came to Cass county in 1870, and he and his father bought wild land in section 15. This he improved, and in 1875 bought the farm on which he resides on section 22. He now has good improvements, including substantial frame buildings, grove and fruit trees, with the land all under cultivation. Mr. Muller was born in Germany March 31, 1846. He attended school in his native country until fourteen years old, then engaged in farming three years, after which he served three years with a carpenter to learn the trade. In 1855 he came to America, landed at New York and went to DuPage county, Illinois, where he worked at his trade until 1870, when, as before stated, he came to Cass county. He was married in 1876 to Lizzie Hampel, a native of Pennsylvania. They have three children -- Jacob, Otto and Edwin. Since coming to Cass county, Mr. Muller has rented his farm and devoted his time to his trade. He has done much of the building in the township.
