General Notes: Husband - James M. Muse

---

He was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and when a young man moved to Mercer County, Pennsylvania, where he purchased a tract of wood land and began clearing it for a farm. A few years later he sold his possessions there and removed to New Vernon township, and a little later to Mill Creek township in the same county, where, and at the village of New Lebanon, Pennsylvania, in the same township, he carried on farming pursuits in connection with the mercantile business for many years, or until about the year 1858. He retired from the mercantile business about 1858, but continued the farming business until the time of his death, which occurred in the borough of New Lebanon, Pennsylvania. He was a man of very extensive acquaintance and business and social relations. He was a devoted member and supporter of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and was always actively interested in its welfare.

Five of the six sons of James M. Muse were volunteers in the Union Army in the War of the Rebellion, and the lives of three of them were yielded up in defense of the cause for which they fought.
