General Notes: Husband - Philip B. Musser

---

He was born in Linn township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, and removed to Centre County when only about four years of age, and thereafter remained a resident of Penn's valley. He was for twenty-four years justice of the peace in Gregg township, was commissioner for three years and auditor for three years. He was a man of fine physical organization and a great hunter. During his life he shot over six hundred deer and forty bears, with other game too numerous to mention. Mr. Musser was a man of great intelligence and a good German scholar.

He was a shrewd and successful business man and a leading farmer of his day, accumulating a handsome competence. He was a prominent member of the Lutheran Church, and an influential worker in local affairs, serving at one time as justice of the peace.

He died at Millheim on the 28th November, 1873, aged eighty-eight years, seven months, and twenty-three days. [HCC 1883, 290] But this does not fit the dates given for him by other sources.
