General Notes: Husband - Maj. William L. Musser

---

He was born April 10, 1810. [CBRCP-CCJC, 522]
He was a prominent merchant, land holder and hotel keeper in his day.

He was born near Spring Mills, Gregg township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and after attending the common schools of that village for some years he began business life as a clerk for a Mr. Petrikin. He was commissioned sheriff of Centre County under Gov. William F. Johnson, October 10, 1846, and removed to Bellefonte. He continued to reside in Bellefonte until the expiration of his term as sheriff, when he returned to Millheim, and for three years followed mercantile pursuits. He then engaged in the hotel business in a hostelry formerly occupied by Samuel Haupt. This was a licensed house and a central stopping place between Mifflinburg and the Old Fort in Potter township, Centre County. In 1877, after twenty-one years in the hotel, Mr. Musser retired from business owing to ill health, and spent his remaining days in quiet in a pleasant home built by his wife in Middle Penn street, Millheim.
He was a man of large build, well-proportioned and straight, full-faced and very active both physically and mentally. As a conversationalist he was unusually gifted, and at times he made political speeches of more than ordinary power. An ardent Democrat, he was always ready to defend his views, and was one of the leading politicians of the county. Although he was not a Church member, he was a liberal contributor to religious movements and to relief work among the poor. His title of "Major" was gained by service in the First Battalion, First Regiment Pennsylvania National Guards, his commission dating September 25, 1845. He was fond of fishing and hunting, and was very successful in these pursuits, reliable authority having credited him with having killed 106 deer in his lifetime. His love of family and home was great, and he was a kind husband and father.
