• Additional Image. This photo was owned by Floris Audene (Lusher) Jones. On the back is written "Grandma Lusher - Dad's mother." The woman depicted, however, appears much heavier than the one in other known pictures of Margaret (Troutner) Lusher. And if she died of "consumption" (tuberculosis), it is doubtful that she would have been of robust build.


• Burial: : Rockland Cemetery, Rockland Twp, Venango Co, PA.

The funeral of Jacob Lusher occurred Monday at the old homestead in Rockland township. Mr. Lusher died Saturday at the home of his son in Warren, Indiana, from spasm of the heart. The body arrived Sunday night on the Lake Shore railroad and was cared for by Undertaker Byrer. Interment was made in Rockland cemetery. The funeral was conducted by Rev. W. J. Hewitt.
Jacob W. Lusher was born June 6, 1832, in Rockland township, where he lived continuously until going to Indiana about six months ago. He was very highly respected by the entire community as a man of upright character, and a good neighbor. He was one of the earliest supporters of the Prohibition movement, and scorned political crookedness. Four sons survive him, John, of Rockland; J. L., Wilbur and Willis, of Warren, Ind., and one daughter, Mary, at home. There are also four sisters: Mrs. Sarah Montgomery, Nickleville; Mrs. Miranda Forbes and Mrs. Almira Mouck, Mercer county, and Miss Martha, at home, and three brothers, Miles, of Seneca; Peter of Rockland, and David, of Ellwood City.
