General Notes: Husband - Peter Houser

---

Cemetery records give a year of death as 1878. Age at death 77 years, 6 mos., 5 days.

In 1836 he settled permanently in Sandy Creek Township, obtaining a patent on four hundred acres of what is now very valuable land, still in the possession of his posterity. He had 150 acres in his own home place, and his land was divided between his two sons who reached maturity, Hugh P. and Washington B. Houser, both of whom spent their lives there. William T. Houser, son of Hugh P. Houser, now has part of his father's share, and Charles A. Houser, son of Washington B., lives on and owns his father's homestead. [CAB, 894]
