F. George Moeglein, 74, pioneer merchant and prominent citizen of Little Falls, died at St. Gabriel's hospital this morning at 6 o'clock, succumbing to dropsy and heart trouble after an illness of two years. He had been a patient at the hospital for the past six weeks. Funeral services will be held Friday morning at 9 o'clock at the Sacred Heart church, Rev. J.J. Wessendorf officiating, and interment will be in the church cemetery.
Born in Madison, Wis., May 22, 1855, Mr. Moeglein spent his early manhood there. On March 5, 1877, he was united in marriage to Christina Schmidt at Monroe, Wis. They resided there for four years and then moved to Richland Center.
Came Here In 1883
Two years later, in 1883, they moved to Little Falls. Shortly after their arrival here Mr. Moeglein purchased the building on First street southeast, which still houses the Moeglein market, and opened the business there the same year. Mr. Moeglein continued in the business until nine years ago when he turned the market over to his sons.
Mr. Moeglein became president of the Merchants State Bank here in 1923 but retired from the banking business when the bank merged with the American Savings and Trust company five years ago.
Active In City
Mr. Moeglein has been active in the city's affairs ever since he became a resident and nearly all of the time he has been a city official. Elected to the city council as alderman from the first ward 41 years ago he served in that capacity for 30 years. During the next five years he was mayor and for the past 16 years he has been a member of the council as alderman-at-large, a position which he still held at the time of his death. On account of his illness he tendered his resignation to the council a few months ago but the resignation was not accepted.
Surviving besides the widow are six children, Joseph, Charles and George Moeglein, Mrs. Henry Smith and Mrs. J.T. Lahowetz, Little Falls and Mrs. William Billstein, Jamestown, N.D. Mrs. Lena Meyers of Minneapolis is a sister and Joseph Moeglein of Duluth a brother of the deceased.
