Census:

     According to the 1910 U.S. census for St. Louis, Mary Mühlemann was living at 9715 Wyandotte. She was identified as 27 years old, born in Minnesota, a wife and the mother of two children in the household, Ruth, age 4, and George, age 2, both born in Missouri. Her husband, George Mühlemann, was identified as a 33 year old laborer in the hardware trade, born in Missouri. George and Mary had been married for seven years.
     Also living in the home was Minnie Sprenemann, a 37 year old, widowed, sister-in-law of George, born in Minnesota, and her only child, Paul Sprenemann, age 15, born in Missouri, a laborer in a shoe factory.
     The seventh member of the household was George's 71 year old, widowed, aunt, Louise Neunhaus. She was born in Germany and still spoke German. The date of her immigration to the USA is recorded but difficult to decipher; perhaps it is 1873 or 1875?


Census:

     As enumerated in the 1920 U.S. census for St. Louis, Mary, age 39, born in Minnesota, was living at 1126 South Thirteenth Street. Her husband, George, age 42, born in Missouri, worked as a foreman at a dairy.
     George and Mary had four children living with them: Ruth, age 14; George, age 12; Le Roy, age 7; and Elmer, age 5. The enumerator identified all of the children as having been born in Minnesota, like their mother, but this would seem to be a mistake. Other sources seem to indicate that all the children were born in Missouri.
     Also living in the home was Mike Eckert, identified as a 50 year old, single, brother-in-law of the head of the household, who worked as a bottler in a brewery.
