Hello Richard, I have a copy of Obituary's and Death Related Items from the Clayton Enterprise Newspaper of Clayton, Adams County, Illinois, 1879 - 1900, Vol II compiled by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Beals. I've searched the Mueller and Miller entries and didn't find an obituary for either of the people you asked about BUT there is this entry on page 486 of the book.... Miller, Gerd F. Probate Notice Sep. 21, 1882 Gerd F. Miller, deceased, 3rd Monday of November, 1882 (20th) Herman G. Miller, executor. Sorry I couldn't find obits for you.

IL 1875-1882? We are looking for an obituary of Gerd Fooken Mueller/Miller, d. 23 July 1879 ? in Adams County IL - and also an obituary for his wife Gesche Mueller/Miller d. either 11 May 1881 or 10 November 1881, ? Adams County IL ---- Caveat: I think these death dates are reversed in the written records --- the 1800 census below, indicates Gerd, age 63, is living with his son Herman, so he may have died in 1881 and his wife died in 1879. [Cannot confirm his date of birth because the pages are missing in the Aurich microfilm records] Richard F.
