He was a native of the state of Ohio, but had been a resident of Jackson townshp for more than half a century. During his long residence there Mr. Muck lived the kind of life that made hime honored and respected by hundreds of friends and acquaintances. He was an upright citizen and one of whom any community could well feel proud. In his passing Jackson township has lost one of her best residents.
Mr. Muck was a democrat in politics, but he had never held a public office. He always worked for the best interests of his friends, who had had political aspirations, however, and could always be relied upon as a being a standard bearer and worker for the causes advocated by the party immortalized by Jefferson, Jackson and our own Hendricks. He only recently celebrated his seventy-eighth birthday, the anniversary of his natal day occurring on the twenty-fourth day of March.
