ED C. MUELLER.

Ed C. Mueller, associated with his brothers in the Mueller Lumber Company, was born January 8, 1865, in this city, and pursued his education through successive grades in the public schools until he undertook the mastery of the branches taught in the high school. He afterward attended the Duncan Business College and when his course was completed, like his brothers, became connected with the father's business. All were thoroughly trained in the various departments of the business and the result is that the enterprise has continued to grow under their management since the father's death. From 1886 until 1907 Ed C. Mueller had charge of the manufacturing interests in the summer and was superintendent of the logging in the winter. He thus gained intimate and comprehensive knowledge of the business in its operative department and since 1907 has looked after the buying for the Mueller Lumber Company, of which he is now the secretary and treasurer. He also has considerable supervision over the interests of the

Mueller Land & Timber Company, of which he is the president. The latter company has very large interests in Oregon and the scope of both business enterprises is being gradually extended, while the firm has become widely known throughout the middle portion of the country and even far into the west.

In 1889 Mr. Mueller was married to Miss Clara Bruhn, a native of Davenport and a daughter of John Bruhn, one of the old residents of the city. They have two children: Walter, bom July 5, 1896; and EHnore, born August 19, 1902.
