Mary Noser Mueller (1852-1931) Occasionally, a woman seized the opportunity to run a family owned business upon the death of her spouse. Mary Mueller became Vice President of Orbon Stove Co. when her husband, Solomon, died. She served from 1910 to 1918. She proved to be a formidable woman, traveling to Colorado and Kansas to follow-up on real estate interests and journeying to Texas to secure her husband’s business interests. On occasion, she took her young grandchildren as companions!
