BODY IN RIVER

MISSING CAMBRIDGE WOMAN DISCOVERY AT HUNTLY The body of an elderly woman was recovered from the ' Waikato River yesterday at Huntly, and it was later identified as being Mrs Miriam Muller, who disappeared from her place of residence early on Saturday morning.

An inquest w r as opened at Huntly, and after evidence of identification had been given by a relative from Cambridge, the hearing was adjourned. Mrs Muller was 60 years of age. and had lived in Cambridge for a considerable period, being associated with the well-known Domain Bakery. Her husband, Mr William Muller, died four years ago, since which time she had conducted the business.

When changes were made in the management of the bakery recently, Mrs Muller went to reside with Mrs H. Carter, in Duke Street. She was missed from her room early on Saturday morning, and a short note was found which gave cause for the fears for her safety. The late Mrs Muller is to be buried at O’Neill’s Point Cemetery, Auckland, tomorrow , the funeral being of a private nature.
