General Notes: Husband - Peter Allen Musick

---

He was born near Hannastown, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where he received the greater part of his education in the common schools, finishing with one term at Greensburg Seminary. After leaving school he entered the service of the Farmers' Trading Company, with which he was connected for some ten years. During that period he advanced to be head of the force and for several years had charge of the Hosteller store. During the two last years he was virtually manager of both the Hosteller and Whitney stores of the company, thus gaining a large and varied experience. In 1901 he left this position and went to Monessen and October 3, 1901, he opened a grocery and provision store on Schoonmaker avenue. He purchased the property, thus providing himself with a residence and a place of business. When he established the business he was associated with his brother under the firm name of Musick Brothers, and the partnership was continued until February, 1903, when Mr. Musick bought out his brother's interest and conducted the business alone. He was one of the board of directors of the People's National Bank of Monessen, and was elected first president of Merchants' Exchange, also of Monessen. He belonged to the I. O. O. H.; also the F. and A. M., of Monessen. He was a member and trustee of the Methodist Episcopal church and also superintendent of the Sunday school. He was elected to the office of councilman from the third ward for a term of three years.
