From the Boulaide Mill:
"In the year 1865 the family of Jean-Pierre (or Johann Peter) SPARTZ, experienced millers from Gemünd, Germany, somehow came to operate the mill. J.P. SPARTZ was born in the parish of Rodershausen in Gemünd in 1842 and married Anna Maria in 1875. Their two children, Christian and Marguerite SPARTZ, were born at the mill, in 1876 and 1877 respectively. The very next year, 1878, J.P. SPARTZ met with an accidental death when he was crushed by his mule-wagon while returning to the mill from town on the steep road."From Erpelding's Mills of Luxembourg, 1990 (translated):
"Ein tragischer Unglückstag für die Müller-familie war der 6. August 1878. Uber dieses Unglück berichtete die Tageszeitung: ,,Zu Anfang der verflossenen Woche war der Müller S. [= Spartz] von Bauschleider-mühle mit seinem von Säcken stark beladenen Karren auf der Heimreise begriffen. Wahrscheinlich etwas angerauscht auf dem Karren liegend, vergaß er, etwa gegen 8 Uhr abends, an dem einige hundert Meter von der Mühle entfernten jähen Abhang angelangt, die Sperrmaschine anzulegen. Das Pferd vermochte nicht den im-mer starker nachtreibenden Karren zu-rückzuhalten und rannte vorwärts bis schließlich das linke Rad herausfuhr und der Karren umschlug, wobei die eisernen Strange rissen und das Pferd unversehrt davonlief. Ein Arbeiter der Mühle stieß im nämlichen Augenblicke auf das dahertra-bende Pferd, fing es auf und fand einige hundert Schritte weiter rückwärts seinen Meister, mit einer stark blutenden Wunde oberhalb dem linken Auge, am StraBen-graben sitzen. Mit Hilfe einiger herbeigeru-fenen Personen wurde S. nach Hause gebracht, allwo er noch im Laufe der Nacht an den erlittenen Verletzungen starb.45)"
"A tragic misfortune day for the Mueller family was 6 August 1878. Of this misfortune reported the daily paper: 'At the beginning of the verflossenen week Mueller S. [ = Spartz ] of Bauschleider mill with its truck on the home journey, loaded strongly by bags, was understood. Probably angerauscht on the truck being appropriate for something, he, approximately against 8 o'clock in the evening forgot to put on at some hundred meters the sudden slope removed from the mill concerned, the check machine. The horse was able not always strong night-rubbing trucks restrainable and ran forward of to finally the left wheel drove out and the trucks changed, whereby iron strand it tore and the horse ran away intact. A worker of the mill discovered in same instants the dahertra-bende horse, caught it and found some hundred steps more further backwards its master, with a strongly bleeding wound up the left eye, to StraBen digs sits. With the help of some called for persons S. was home brought, allwo it still in the run to the night at the suffered injuries died.45)' Since the Mueller woman was troubled with farm work and two children under age, she had to press the assistance of strange forces fur the mill work."

Phillipp SCHULLER, who was born in 1852, became the next miller. His family was from Schieren, a town just south of Ettelbrück. He was born there, but the family seems to have moved to Bigonville (Bondorf) some time after 1860, based on the birth dates of his siblings. After Johann Peter SPARTZ's death Phillipp took over the operation of the mill. In 1886 he married Anna-Maria and they had two daughters Marie and Marguerite SCHULLER, born in 1887 and 1889. Marie was my grandmother.
According to the family story, after the death of Mr SPARTZ, his well-to-do family was able to repossess the mill by obtaining documents from Germany that somehow showed that the SPARTZ-SCHLEICH marriage was more legitimate than the SCHULLER-SCHLEICH marriage, and received a judgement in their favor. The SCHULLER girls received a meager settlement as their share, much less than the SPARTZ children. In any case, Phillipp SCHULLER died soon after, in 1891, as a result of breathing too much flour-dust."
