Originally born as Wolf Mandel Muller, he became known as Max William Muller in the USA. His birth date was obtained from his Krakow birth certificate which agrees with his gravestone. Max was born at home at ul. Krakowska 26, a building which still stands.
Max's parents, Israel Muller and Pauline Rathaus, departed Krakow separately for the USA after his birth and left him in the care of his maternal grandmother Taube Anisfeld Rathaus. In August 1893 at age 10, Max arrived in New York City and subsequently reunited with his father in Chicago.
Professionally, Max became President of the New York-based National Hair Goods Company, an affiliate of a family-owned company in Chicago.
In 1911, Max married Mae Rose DeLue, who died seven years later in the Spanish Flu epidemic. In 1920, he married Janet Hefter, but by July 1923, the New York Times reported that a judge directed him to pay alimony to Janet who had filed for separation of the relationship. At that time, Max's behavior became increasingly erratic leading to his death at Dr. Barnes Sanitarium in Stamford, CT. Sadly, his life was cut short by venereal disease. All family information on Max's death certificate was fictitious.
