            AKA: Peter E. Lusher 1
           Born: 24 Mar 1848 1
     Christened: 
           Died: 17 Dec 1919 - Rockland Twp, Venango Co, PA 2

         Father: Jonathan Lusher (1807-1884) 3
         Mother: Eliza Smith (1810-1903) 3





• Burial: : Rockland Cemetery, Rockland Twp, Venango Co, PA. There is no marker for him in the cemetery. However, older graves can often be located by observing a slight depression in the ground where, as pine boxes and remains decayed, the soil settled in. There are two such depressions right next to the marker for his father, Jonathan Lusher. It seems reasonable to suppose that one of them is the grave of Jonathan's wife, and the other could be the grave of their bachelor farmer son, Peter Simon Lusher.
