General Notes: Husband - Darwin Musick
He was reared on his father's farm until he was nineteen years of age. He then (1866) entered Capital University, of Columbus, Ohio, from which institution he was graduated in June, 1871. After graduation he was engaged in normal school teaching for two years at Madison. In 1873 he took charge of the public school at Adamsburg, Pennsylvania, which position he held until January, 1879, when he was appointed chief clerk to the board of county commissioners. After serving in this capacity for three years he was elected clerk of the county courts by eight hundred majority. At the expiration of his term of office in January, 1886, he entered the field of journalism, and on April 1, 1886, issued the initial number of the paper, the Greensburg Record.
He was a member of the Patrons of Husbandry. He was a so-called free-trade democrat, was chairman of the democratic county committee in 1884, served as a member of the democratic State central committee in 1887, and during three State campaigns he did effective service by stumping western Pennsylvania.
He was a classical scholar, and an excellent mathematician.
On March 1, 1886, Mr. Musick and D. P. Stahl formed a partnership and started the Greensburg Daily and Weekly Record, of which the former became editor and the latter assumed the position of business manager. From the salutatory published April 1, 1886, we extract: "The Record, emerging from a state of embryo, has sprung 'like Minerva, from the brow of Jove, full-armed into existence' upon the bright and auspicious morn of its eventful and perfectly legitimate birth. The Record is not the creature of any clique, faction or individual. It will never become the mouth-piece of any one to air his personal grievances or further his private or selfish ends. As we are not the child of faction nor the offspring of any locality or clique, we will always be free to defend the right and condemn the wrong. Being throughly democratic, it will admit of no coalition in the dark."
