3 Names associated with Mary Muller are Louise Sylvester, Fred, Eunice -- all of Eugene, Oregon or thereabouts. A letter addressed to Mr. C. Sylvester, 94 E. Baldwin St., Portland, OR, dated 2/13/1940, from T. J. Muller to Dear Francis and Charlie was returned undelivered. Letter was signed Cousin Mamie and Theo. Mary was raised by her father (her mother died in 1890). There was rumor of a French background, but no clear evidence as yet.
According to her marriage record, her birth date was 25 Dec 1873 and place was New York, NY. According to 1880 Census, she was 4 years old. Reference is made to "lst Luth" in marriage certificate.
