John M. MUTER

Decatur Daily Democrat Adams County, Indiana Thursday, Dec. 1, 1915 MR. MUTER DEAD John Muter, who moved to Anderson only a month and a half ago from this place, died Sunday evening at 6 o'clock of cancer of the stomach. Mr. Muter had been ailing for about a year, but his condition was at no time serious until the last few days. The corpse was brought here from Anderson Tuesday night for the funeral services, which were held at the Pleasant Valley Church Wednesday forenoon at 10 o'clock. Mr. Muter was born in Mercer County, Ohio, February 11, 1848, thus bringing his age to sixty-seven years, nine months and seven days. On November 12, 1871, he was married to Catherine Circle of the same county in Ohio. Seven children came into their home, all of whom survive. They are: Ed Muter of Berne, Robert Muter of Willshire, Frank Muter of Celina, James Muter of Merrill, Mich., Walter Muter of Fort Wayne, Mrs. Effie Hutchinson of Bluffton and Gus Muter, who is staying at the home of Abr. A. Habegger who resides on the D. C. Neuenschwander farm, just east of Berne. Mrs. Catherine Muter, however, preceded her husband in death on September 25, 1905. About a year later Mr. Muter was married a second time, his wife being Mrs. Jerusha Lizer, whom he married September 9, 1906. Mr. Muter had been a farmer almost all his life. The last five years he had resided on a little 10-acre farm, two miles north of Berne. Previous to that time he had lived in Berne about three years, and before he came to Berne, he operated a farm east of Berne. - Berne Witness~
