General Notes: Husband - Henry Musser
He was born in Lampeter Square, where he remained until he was twelve years old, when his father went onto the farm, where his boyhood and young manhood days were passed. It was intended that he should become a physician, and for a time he read medicine, but abandoned it and devoted his time and energies to farming. His start in life was obtained on his father's farm, which he worked four years; then bought a farm in Strasburg township, on which he resided twenty-seven years.
He was in early life a Whig, and joined the Republican party when it first organized, and was one of its stalwart members. Many times he represented his township in the county conventions, and he held most of the township offices, especially school director, which office he held many years in succession. In 1860 he was elected clerk of the Court of Quarter Sessions, which office he filled for three years. In the autumn of 1881 he was chosen by the people poorhouse director for three years. He was one of the first stockholders in the Strasburg Bank, and ten years one of its directors.
