BIOGRAPHY
Disclaimer: Until a marriage or death certificate is found for
Herman Muller, son of John David Muller, the following is speculation based
on the few scraps of evidence found primarily in census records.Tracing Herman Muller has been difficult. In 1870 and 1880 he worked as
a clerk in his parents’ shop. As his father was a cooper, it is believed he
may be the Herman Muller living in Brooklyn in 1910, who was also a cooper,
married to Caroline. The ages in the census reports match, as well
as his place of birth and where his parents were born. Herman Muller
was never buried in the family plot in the Lutheran Cemetery in Middle
Village, Queens, NY, as were so many of the Muller family, which leads one
to believe he moved away from the New York City area.
Herman and Caroline had four children: Adeline, Amelia,
John F., and Ida.
Herman disappears after the 1910 census, and probably after the marriage of
his daughter Amelia in 1914.
His widow Caroline is found living across the Hudson River in the Village of
Pearl River, Orangetown, Rockland County, NY, in 1920. Three of her
children lived close by, so Herman may have died in Pearl River. Living
with Caroline in 1920 were her son-in-law George W. Naugle, daughter
Ida V. (Miller) Naugle, and their children George W. and Charles A.
Naugle. Next door to Caroline were living Peter L. Lamereaux and his
wife Adeline. Also living in Pearl River was Caroline’s son
John
F. Miller his wife Lila G. (Ricker) Miller and their son John A.
Miller. Caroline’s fourth child Amelia married William Kinley,
and they lived in Brooklyn with their children Raymond and Elizabeth. By
1930 Amelia and William Kinley had also moved to Pearl River.
