General Notes: Husband - William S. "Billy" Musser

---

He was born at Bellefonte, Pennsylvania, during his father's term as sheriff. His parents removed to Millheim before his school days began, and he acquired his education there mainly, although he attended Aaronsburg Academy for a time, studying under Prof. Gutwalt and Prof. Hoy. When a boy of twelve he traveled in the West with his parents, going as far as Iowa, where they spent one summer. He naturally became familiar with the hotel business as he grew to manhood, and at an early age he became a partner in a tannery with his father.
Previous to his first marriage, Mr. Musser, while out hunting, was accidentally shot in the shoulder, resulting in a permanent injury. On this account the tannery was sold, and he entered the hotel business, renting his father's establishment. The place soon showed the effects of his progressive management. He built additions to the dining room and kitchen, furnished the entire house in excellent style, with conveniences far beyond what might be expected, in a town of the size of Millheim, and in fact transformed it from a country inn to a first-class hotel.
Mr. Musser was prominent in the local Democratic circles, but was not an office seeker. Socially he was a member of the I. O. O. F. and of the Knights of the Golden Eagle.
