Miss Mugler, a native of Perry and daughter of a pioneer Noble county couple, Friedrich and Lissette Kathreia (Dierolf) Mugler, became deputy court clerk Jan. 1, 1943, serving under Henry Rucker.

Mugler had lived in the Mulhall-Orlando area before coming here. In Perry, he was in the banking business and later was with a private lending agency.

Miss Mugler was born Dec. 11, 1914, in Perry, and graduated from Perry high school. She was a member of the United Methodist church and sang in the choir before becoming ill.
