One of the most public-spirited men of Parsippany, Morris county, New Jersey, is August MOLLER, who as his name indicates is of German extraction. He is a son of Frederick MOLLER, who was a farmer and never left his native land.

August MOLLER was born in Hanover, Germany, in 1843. He received an excellent education in his native land. He emigrated to the United States in 1872, and since that time has made the interests of his adopted land his own, and furthered them to the fullest extent of his power. For some time he lived in the state of New York, then removed to Troy Hills, Morris county, New Jersey, later to Parsippany, in the same county, and has now been identified with that for the past forty years. He has given his active and beneficial support to the Democratic party, has served five years as a justice of the peace, and has now for the past four years been in office as road supervisor. He has been successfully engaged in farming operations, and his farm is a model of its size. Mr. MOLLER married Fredericka LUTZ, and they became the parents of eight children, among whom as Harry B. MOLLER, mentioned below.
