Johann Hennig Mueller did not die wealthy

There is a story in the Feb 26, 1900 papers all across the country about a Johann Heinrich Mueller who had died at Duluth, MN fourteen months prior as a pauper but left a timber acreage worth over $500,000. I found it on in the family tree on another website and got excited until I thought about it for, oh about 30 seconds. My Great-great-grandpa Johann Mueller did die decidedly unwealthy, but he died in Aurora Township, Steele County, Minnesota on Feb 15, 1900 and his middle name was "Hennig," not "Heinrich". Wealth can be so fleeting.

The main point is that those who are associating this story with Johann Hennig Mueller are doing so in error. Not the same guy, people.
