KIEL MAN MAKES UNIQUE BEQUEST IN HIS LAST WILL
Peter Mueller Provides $300 for A Feast for Friends Who Attend His Funeral, 
Left Large Estate
Peter Mueller, deceased, late a resident of Kiel, did not believe in 
mourning and wanted his friends to celebrate rather than bemoan when 
they came to attend his funeral. This was revealed yesterday when the 
will of the late Mr. Mueller was filed in probate court and when opened 
was found to include a bequest for $300 which he directed should be 
used to provide for a dinner for all persons attending his funeral and 
his friends who were generally invited to take part. The bequest is made 
in the following paragraph of the will: 
“I further bequeath the sum of $300 to be paid for a specified dinner on 
the day of my funeral, given to all persons who shall participate at the 
funeral, said dinner to be given at Peter Geigel’s Hall. All friends are 
invited. The will was drawn April 22, this year, and Mr. Mueller’s death 
occurred little more than a month later. It is understood that the 
decedent had elaborated to friends upon the plans for the dinner which 
he desired should be held and left instructions that the best be served 
to his friends. In his will Mr. Mueller disposed of an estate estimated 
at $8,000 or more, including a considerable interest in stock of the Kiel 
Woodenware Co. at Kiel. After specific bequests of about $7,000 the residue 
of the property is left to a brother. A legacy of $500 is bequeathed to 
the Catholic church at Kiel, $400 for support of the cemetery,$150 for the 
reading of masses, and $500 for the erection of a fitting monument over his 
grave. The will is witnessed by Albert Wagenknecht and Henry Ranshachwald 
both of Kiel. Mr. Mueller was a well known resident of Kiel and for some 
time previous to his death made his home with the Lettenbergers. While it 
was known that he possessed some means, the estate disposed of by the will 
is larger than was suspected. Whether the wish of the decedent for a dinner 
can now be carried out, it is not known, Mr. Mueller had evidently planned 
the affair for some time previous to his last illness which was not of long 
duration. The bequest is one of the most unusual which has been revealed by 
a will filed in the local probate court. Among specific bequests are two of 
$100 each and one of $2,000 and three of $500 each.
