General Notes: Husband - Daniel Gosser

---

He at­tended public school at Adamsburg and Leech­burg, Pennsylvania. He remained with his father in the blacksmith shop until of age, and then for four years followed boating on the Pennsylvania canal. He then removed to the Allegheny river, and for eleven years was engaged in the manufacture of salt, after which he set­tled on a farm in Armstrong County, in what is now Gilpin township, having a tract of 150 acres where he carried on general agricultural pursuits for about twenty-three years. Mean­time Mr. Gosser became interested in oil wells, in 1862, in company with others, starting the first oil well at Parkers Landing, in Armstrong County, which was known as the Hovey well. Later they sank shafts at different places for oil, and Mr. Gosser was also interested in two natural gas wells at Leechburg.
Removing from his farm to the borough of Leechburg, he built a store there in 1892 and engaged in the grocery and feed business, one of his sons, Frank, entering the business at the same time. In 1902 his son John was admitted to the firm, which is known as D. Gosser & Sons. In 1909 Mr. Gosser was made a direc­tor of the First National Bank of Leechburg. He was a mem­ber of the Lutheran Church.
