Cincinnati Obits
« on: Wednesday 01 September 21 15:10 BST (UK) »
Looking to find the obits of

Alfred Muehlman, 27 Jun 1889-20 Jan 1958, son of Edward and Mary (Mayme) Miller.

Also, his wife, Josephine Muehlman, possibly 1879-1957.  She married Alfred, Feb. 1919, as Josephine Pelton and had a son by the Pelton marriage.  I don't believe she had any children by Alfred.  There is a Josephine Muehlman in Baltimore Pike Cemetery, which might be her.

Any help appreciated.

There is a tree for the Pelton Marriage. Has Josephine's husband death as 1921

I don't have access to obituaries. Hopefully someone who does can access them

I'm not seeing an obit for him in the death notice section for the day of and following days of his death.

On the 21st, there was this mention of him dying after surgery. That was on the death notice page.

Thanks for the info, RJ.  That's really weird with the name on the advertisement for the funeral home.

Also, his wife, Josephine Muehlman, possibly 1879-1957. 

Finally, found it. It appears the last name "Muehlman" was often spelled with double "nn" at the end.

Thank you Kloumann, I'd missed his first marriage.

It appears Alfred & Rose had a child. Also, it appears Rose had bad luck with husbands.

Alfred & Rose divorced in 1910.
