Carolyn,
In my current research I have only one person that is a Meuffels. It is Maria or Elizabeth Meuffels (1828 - 1897) who was married to Peter H. Pass. If you are interested I have a copy of the obit.
I have had contact with another researcher who has Maria Meuffels parents listed as Lambertus Meuffels and Maria Bonen.
Something that may help is the Carver County Historical Society newspaper search engine.
