(1) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, Frederick Christian 
SCHROTH - my motherly grandfather - has been a very keen businessman and has 
managed to make his firm a well-known one throughout Germany.  He was highly 
esteemed in public and was on the town council of Wurzen.  A curious incident 
took place when he was 40 years old. Viz: A gypsy girl told his fortune against 
his wishes that disaster would overcome him by the time he was 50.  And although 
he did not believe in the prediction, it bothered him considerably.  When on his 
fiftieth birthday he remarked to his wife he had reached 50 without the mishap 
just as he was going to bed.  At that moment he heard shouts and looked out to 
see his whole place of business (a large tannery) going up in smoke.  He found 
himself pennyless but with the help of friends started up again. (No fire 
Insurance those days). And in 2 or 3 years time his business was bigger than 
ever.  When he died he was a wealthy man and his firm "Wurzener Wollwasherie" 
had world renown fame.

her life she suffered a lot from asthma and died on Dec.14.1914.  My sister 
Liesel and myself were with her at the end. 
(3) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, Later she married my 
father and was a great help to him in business as well as the home.  She often 
travelled for him to see customers and was highly esteemed for her ability.  She 
was a good mother to us especially during sickness.  During the last years of 
her life she suffered a lot from asthma and died on Dec.14.1914.  My sister 
Liesel and myself were with her at the end. 
(4) Fritz Walter MULLER, Genealogy of Muller family, His son Hermann ran the 
business [Wurzener Wollwasherie] and I called on him in the '90s several times.  
Hermann finally made it a limited company and when he died was worth 2 or 3 
millions.
