Anna Mueller was born in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1883 and died in Fairfax, South Dakota, on 22 Sep. 1961.

On May 26, 1903, Anna married Ferdinand Wiebelhaus at Constance, Nebraska. They resided in Bow Valley until 1910 when they moved to Harris, Iowa, where he worked as a carpenter at a lumber company. In 1913, they moved to Fairfax, South Dakota, where he was the manager for the James A. Smith Lumber Company. In the early 1930s, they lived in Bonesteel where he was one of the foreman on the construction of the Bonesteel City Hall.

Anna was a devout Catholic and maintained her faith lifelong even in the face of the anti-Catholic Ku Klux Klan resurgence during the 1920s which resulted in a cross being burned in their front yard.

In 1950, Anna and Ferd returned to Fairfax, and Ferd was once again the Manager of the Fairfax Farmer's Union Cooperative Association elevator. With William Koenig, Ferd began the Home Lumber Company in Fairfax.

On May 26, 1953, Anna and Ferd celebrated their Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary with a party, including Ferd's brother, Fred, and sister-in-law, Theresa, who were their original attendants. Ferd retired that following year from his business, the Home Lumber Company.

Ferd and Anna had two sons and two daughters: Cyril E. Wiebelhaus of Boring, Oregon; Virgil Wiebelhaus of Springfield, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Florence(Bill) Opbroek of Bonesteel, South Dakota; and Mrs. Hildegarde (Tom) Donlin of Bristow, Nebraska. He was also survived by one brother, Fred of Constance, Nebraska; eleven grandchildren; and fourteen great grandchildren.
