General Notes: Husband - Charles A. Houser


He is now [1919] the owner of his father's home place, where practically all his life has been passed. In his boyhood he was allowed the best educational advantages the neighborhood afforded, and he was well prepared for farm work under the guidance of his father, who turned the responsibility over to him when he was but sixteen years old because of poor health. When eighteen years old, however, he turned to other occupations for a time, dressing tools, drilling, etc., acquiring experience which has been of great value to him in his later enterprises. Now, in addition to general farming, he operates six oil wells on his land and also does teaming for three leases, being kept constantly busy in the management of his various interests. He is also holding the office of road supervisor, in which he has served four years, with two years of his present term remaining, but he manages to take care of all his duties efficiently, and he enjoys recreations such as ball games and hunting, having himself been an enthusiastic ball player some years ago. His political allegiance is given to the Prohibition Party. He attends the Church of God and contributes toward its support. One of his cherished possessions is the old family bible, with the Houser records. [CAB, 895]
