(5) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, 'Just in the beginning of
that year Otto had realized that the central office in London was a failure and
that he was much more needed in Germany. But he had bought a house on Cavendish
Road in London. In that house May was born. It was in March 93 that Otto came
to Germany and not wishing to leave his London office unguarded he sent me to
London, although I was only 19 years old then. My task there was rather an ugly
one. Mr Russ had lent Otto that money against Bills of acceptance and whenever
one of those bills fell due and Otto could not pay them I had to intercede and
these affairs upset Mr.Russ very much, also myself'.
(6) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, 'And so in 1894 they went
bankrupt.'.
(7) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, 'Otto was enormously
industrious and fought hard to bring his business up again and people had good
faith in him but again he undertook too much. He bought an iron foundry at
Chemnitz and a lead works in Olderau [?] and also a brick factory at Gablenz and
having his smelter and scrap business besides. He used to get up at 4 a.m. in
order to call on all places of business and having developed the brick factory
to a high standard through the aid of his bankers who had given him a loan of
100000 marks. These bankers wished to get hold of this plant in their own name
and called the loan on short notice and Otto was unable to raise the money in
the allotted time and he was declared bankrupt again. (I remember the
brick-plant well. Dad modernized it and put up a factory of the latest design.
Carl.)'.
(8) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, 'My father gave Otto some
money again and having learned from that the scrap rubber business was good he
started in the same line in Dresden and later sold bicycles on a rather large
scale. This was in 1901. Again he undertook too much and sold bicycles to
almost anybody on credit. These were sold on notes which often were not paid
when due and his bankers declined to take them above a certain amount.'.

help him discount them with my bankers. This went on until 1905 when Otto was
forced to declare himself bankrupt for the 3rd time.'.

MULLER] could do was to pay the fare for Otto and family to Canada which was
about 5000 marks'.

for weeks. We only about this by chance and because a mob of angry men had
organized a gang to tar and feather my dad'.

(21) Carl Godfrey Muller, Autobiographical notes (1973), 'A short time after
that Dad told me 'I got you some sows.' I said 'How many?' 'You'll see' was
the reply. Presently 15 sows came, all due to have litters. There were
Yorkshires, Tamworths, Berkshires and one breed with a sharp nose, black and a
wide belt round the middle. They could go through any fence made. We had a new
fence put round the pig pasture, made by Nelson Hyde, an expert fence man, but
they would just point their nose under the fence and they were through. The
first sow to have her young in a snow storm - at that 11 little belted pigs.
After that there were more coming almost every day - at one count I had 180 pigs
on the place and nothing much to feed them'.
(22) Carl Godfrey Muller, Autobiographical notes (1973), 'I had at times railway
men working with me and listened to the money they were making and so tried to
hire on with the C.N.R. Supt. Culiffe asked me how many children and advised me
to stay where I was. This was in 1916 and it was a poor crop year. I did not
realize how the work on the railway fluctuated from week to week. However I
tried again to hire on in 1918 and was accepted. Passed the doctor and sent to
Regina to work..........I worked on the Dayliner between Regina and Saskatoon
until October '57 and then asked for my pension'.
(23) Carl Godfrey Muller, Autobiographical notes (1973), 'So in the spring of
1934 bought a farm at Edenwold so as to feed my family at least. To go on
relief was out of the question for me. We moved there in April during a big
dust storm so bad we would not see two feet ahead of the car at times'.

Victoria, B.C., on some minor matter of law, involving keys to a property.
Knowing that his mother's maiden name had been Russ, he was intrigued to find
the name listed as a partner in the law firm to whom he had been directed by
apparent chance. The family resemblance was striking. He looked so much like
my brother Victor!', 3.

She traveled the journey before you,
She has known all the cost of the
way;
She paid out the price, to its fullness,
That Motherhood only can pay.
She loved when the world was against you,
She hoped - when your hope sank
and dies;
She clung to your hand when the clinging
Left scars in her heart,deep and wide.
She labored - and loved - and was happy,
For down deep in her kind heart
she knew
Your kindness and love would repay her
For all that she did - just for you.
