MULLER ------X------ >From a Correspondent ------X------ MELMOTH, December 5. Quite a gloom was cast over the district on Monday, November 25, when the death of Mrs. MULLER, wife of our worthy M.P.C., became known. The news came as a great shock to her relatives and friends as it was quite unexpected. The dread influenza caused her death after only a few days' illness. A devoted wife and loving mother, she was held in the highest esteem by all who knew her. A splendid woman taken at the early age of 33 years, she was ever ready to help those in distress - the poor will especially miss her - and at all times shared with her friends their joys and sorrows. All the family and native servants were attacked with the disease at the same time, and are at present lying ill. The interment took place at the Melmoth Cemetery on Tuesday. Mrs. MULLER had been a staunch Wesleyan all her life, and it was fitting the occasion that one of her churchmen was fortunately able to attend. An impressive service was conducted by the Rev. W. KIDMAN, from Eshowe. Floral tributes were sent by almost everybody in the district. Over 60 wreaths covered the grave, testifying to the love and esteem in which she was held.
