Notes:

Biography:
He and his family lived in Caracas. He was Consul in La Guaira, Venezuela for Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and others because he was fluent in several languages. Today, La Guaira is just a few minute ride down the hill from Caracas, however, before the turn of the century it was a long trip. So, Johan used to live during the week in La Guaira and go home to Caracas when he could.
Johan had a sister named Mimi. This we know from a circa 1860 picture with the caption "Tia Mimi hermana mia querada de Papa LH" and a picture of Carlos with the caption "Para mis queridos tia Mimi, Mamachi + Papachi, de su sobrino Carlos, Julio 16/1894"

Biography:
He bought a Venezuelan plantation called Siberie and one that had belonged to Jan Bastiaan Schotborgli St. Matthias' son. He lived at a place called Carthagena, which he later sold. But, his life's work was in printing. He was a printer for the government and he worked for and later bought Curaçao's first newspaper, De Curaçaosche Couran. Below is a translation of his obituary from his former paper from Friday September 12, 1884:On Tuesday September 9th the island suffered a painful loss with the death of[BOLD:]August Lebrecht Statius Muller.[:BOLD]Born in 1797, in his 87 years he lived a really useful life, useful not only for himself, but also for the community. Not many inhabitants of Curaçao have been called to serve in so many positions and in such an outstanding manner as Mr. Muller. More than 43 years he served this newspaper, starting in September 1833 when he bought the printing company together with our father, Mr. J.F. Neumann, from the widow William Lee, and at the same time served the government as printers of this newspaper and became officially appointed as government printers. After the death of our deeply missed father, on November 20, 1868, mister Muller became our partner and we continued in the same pleasurable and friendly cooperation until January 1876, when he was honorably retired as government printer with a pension - as such having giving half of his life to this newspaper. We regretted his retirement sincerely, because even in advanced age he was full of life and clear of mind.His concern with the newspaper was not his only service to the community, he was valuable also as chairman of the bank, of the school commission, as member of the former colonial council and afterwards from 1869 until 1876 as member of the ruling council, major commander of the militia, certified translator and interpreter, ….Justly, Reverend Hamelberg referred to him in his speech as an example as a father and a citizen.Many people attended mister Mullers burial and honored him by accompanying him to his last resting place. We are submitting our deepest sympathy with the passing away of this unforgettable friend of our father and of us to his family."
