John, There are no bios for Hentges or Muller in the Stearns county section of the book. See <ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/mn/stearns/history/histindx.txt> for an index of names in the various biographical sketches in the Stearns county section of the book. That URL is a part of the GenWeb page at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnstearn/> which is the start of a lot of useful information for anyone doing research in Stearns county.
