General Notes: Husband - Michael M. Musser

---

He was born in Miles township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and he first attended school in the Beaver Dam District, in Gregg township, with John S. Price as teacher. He lived at home until he was twenty-five, and during that time he attended, for one term, a school at Aaronsburg taught by Prof. Burrell. His own experience as a teacher was limited to one term in the Roupsburg District, in Benner township, Centre county, but his attention was soon turned to mercantile pursuits, and he began clerking in Bellefonte in the store owned by David Wagner, John B. Awl and Isaac May.
In August, 1862, Mr. Musser enlisted in Company K, 15th Pennsylvania Cavalry, better known as the "Anderson Cavalry." Their first engagement was at Stone River, and Mr. Musser was one of the gallant three hundred who were sent out by Gen. Rosecrans as an advance guard. At Chickamauga he was one of the orderlies of Gen. Rosecrans, with the rank of sergeant. Promotions came in the regular order, and at the time of his discharge at Nashville in June, 1865, he held a commission as second lieutenant. He never had a leave of absence, and never lost any time through wounds or sickness.
In September, 1865, he was married and in the following year he located at Farmers Mills, purchasing a store from his father-in-law, and in 1867 he removed his stock of goods to the place later called Fiedler P. O., in Haines township, Centre County. In the fall of 1873 he bought his a property in Aaronsburg from Jacob Wile, and during the next year he remodeled the building, making it more convenient for a dwelling as well as for business purposes. His business was continued successfully at that loca-tion until 1894, when, owing to ill health, he sold his stock and retired.
Mr. Musser had a refined and courteous manner, and through his wide reading kept well informed on current topics. In his political affiliations he was always a Republican, and was one of the influential workers of the party, representing his locality in the county conventions. He was a leading member of the Lutheran Church, in which he was a trustee, and held every office except that of minister. He helped to organize the Grand Army Post No. 298, at Millheim, and served as its commander; and was postmaster at his home, Aaronsburg.
