General Notes: Husband - John Musser

---

He followed the carpenter's trade until 1832, when he moved to the farm of his father-in-law, Jacob Fiedler, but soon afterward went to Miles township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, to start a fulling-mill. This he disposed of after a time and returned to Gregg township, the remainder of his life being spent in farming. In 1842 he moved to Spring township, Centre County, and died there.

He was small in stature, but heavy set, weighing about 150 pounds. While he was not a learned man, he had excellent judgment, and was noted for precision of thought and speech, and for that most uncommon quality: common sense. He was "self-made," and by his industry and thrift accumulated property to a considerable amount. In early life he was an Old-line Whig, later becoming a steadfast Republican, and at times he held township offices. During many years he was an elder in the Lutheran Church, to which he and his wife both belonged.

He was reared on a farm at Spring Mills, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and followed the carpenter's trade until 1830, when he located upon his maternal grandfather's farm, a mile above Coburn, Centre Ccounty, and engaged in its operation.
He was born in 1794, and departed this life at the age of eighty-seven years and six months. [CBRCP-CCJC, 381]
