General Notes: Husband - Adam Gosser

---

He was reared and educated at Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. For eight years he operated a grist-mill, but in 1865 went to Venango County, and there speculated largely in oil. He was interested in thirty oil wells, and in his speculations, which were extensive, experienced both loss and gain. In 1883, after eighteen years, he abandoned the oil field for agricultural pursuits. In that year he took up his abode on a farm in Allegheny township, which he had purchased in 1871 from the McClellan estate, and on which he then resided. It consisted of one hundred and fifty acres and was one of the model farms of the township. He held the office of school director, and while in Venango County was road commissioner. He was a member of the Lutheran church, in which he served as deacon.
