Sister Kay Muller sent a postcard to brother, John L Muller, on August 11, 1931:
To Mr John L Muller
Berkley Arms
Haverford. PA
From Lake Winnepesaukee, NH
Saying she "found the old camping grounds."
We are stopping at "the Garnet Inn", Center Harbor and Captain Kelley is going to take us up the lake tomorrow at nine in a little motor boat to see the camp. It gives me quite a thrill to be up here."
Kay
On August 13, 1931
She sent another postcard: Shelburne Falls, Mass.
"We are on our way down and it is still cloudy but wonderful. The boys at Camp looked great. All well and happy. Couldn't see Peggy because they were in quarintine.
Love Kay

I think she is talking about a place they went to when younger.

Some research I found in the Philadelphia Enquirer
1905 - L.P. Muller of Muller, Riddle & Co of 206 Chestnut St, Philadelphia
1917 - It was reported in The Textile American p9 1917 that the Muller, Riddle & Company, dealers in cotton and worsted yarns, 206 Chestnut Street, (Philadelphia), has been dissolved and a new concern under the style and title of L. P. Muller & Co, has been organized.
1922 - L P Muller & Co
1922 - Landis, N.C. Announcement is made of improvements now in progress at the plants of the Linn Mills Co and the Corriher Mills Co; with new machinery being installed which will still further improve the quality of the double carded yarns. It is also the quality of the double carded yarns. It is also stated that in addition to single 30's double carded, they may make 28's as well as 32's double carded.
The production will be largely increased and both the production will be largely increased and both mills will be equipped with the same machinery. The yarns will be sold under the name of the Linn-Corriher double carded yarns, with L.P. Muller & Co, Philadelphia, as selling agents. The weekly production will be about 50,000 pounds.
Textile World Journal Dec 21, 1918 p 83
At the annual meeting of the Cotton Yarn Merchants' Association held Dec 17, the following officers were elected to serve for the ensuing year: President, L P Muller, L P Muller & Co, Philadelphia ...
p 34 Dec 14, 1918 Textile World Journal: Lieut. Harold D Muller, of the Aviation Corps, a junior member of the firm of L P Muller & Co, cotton yarns, Philadelphia, who was reported as missing since Sept 9 by the War Department, recently wired his father that he was a prisoner at Karlsruhe and well.

Notes
Birth
from 1900 census Sep 1854Or 1 Jun 1855
Gravestone 1856
---------------------------
His death certificate does not give a birthdate but gives his age as 72y 8m 3d.
So working this in the date calculator with the death date we get a birth day as 1 June 1855
===================
Marriage
1900 census says married 12 years============================
Mr Louis P Muller and Miss Ida Margaret Ogier were married at the Church of the Messiah, Gay and Fayette Streets, last evening by the rector, Rev P Wroth. The church was crowded with friends of the young couple, and as they turned to leave the church, some of the lady friends of the bride strewed her path with flowers. The bride was in traveling costume. Mr and Mrs Muller left immediately after the ceremony for Philadelphia, their future home. Mr Muller is a Baltimorean, but in business in Philadelphia. Mrs Muller is a daughter of the late Nicholas Ogier.
I have a digital copy of a picture of the front page of her bible where she had pined this newspaper clipping to and had penned under it the date November 15, 1887. The second page of the bible is penned with Ida M Ogier, Christmas 1885.
