Muller Cemetery analysis

 

 

Analysis contributed by:  Jan Monnin

13 March 2009

Photos contributed by:  Wilda & Rex Patterson

 

From the Bowen book: "Muller Cemetery is located approximately 1 mile west of Lobelville, a short distance south of Crooked Creek Road. There is no road to cemetery. It is between two pipelines near bottom of hill with a fence around it but no gate. The cemetery is overgrown and all the stones are broken."

 

Wilda Patterson notes: "I made photos in 2003 when Rex and I took visitors to the cemetery to find their ancestors. The rocks were on the ground, and cemetery was really grown up. There was an iron fence around it, and we found some evidence of graves outside the fence. It is on private property."

 

The following are the known transcriptions of this cemetery:

  From Kate McCain (kate.mccain at cis. drexel.edu) on 28 March 2009:

I suspect that the replacement stone in the Muller cemetery -- Montgomery, James O. 1807-Feb 1885-- is actually James Q. Montgomery. James Q. and wife Mary (Polly) Walker and son Thomas Sumerfield Montgomery (1855-1900) emigrated from Rockingham County, NC to Carroll County, TN sometime between 1860 and 1870. Their daughter Mary Elizabeth Montgomery married Otto Muller sometime between 1860 and 1870--haven't a clue how they met since the Mullers were in Perry county--I've suspected that the Montgomery family farmed for a few years in Perry county before moving on to Carroll county, but have no proof of that. Thomas Montgomery married my great grandmother Sarah Catherine Morris and, after he died in 1900, she and her children, including my grandmother Katherine Muller Montgomery, moved to Wilbarger County, Texas to live with the Mullers, who also had moved there.

Stone #2 - this stone was apparently replaced by the large stone and information duplicated.

 "son of O.H. & M.B."

"A light from out household is gone; A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our hearts; That never can be filled."
