General Notes: Husband - Isaac Shuster


He followed the occupation of shoemaker, but later bought a farm, consisting of some forty acres at that time, to which he added about seventy-two acres of the land adjacent. Much of this he cleared himself and for a time he lived in a log house situated thereon, which he had constructed with his own hands. It was about 1859 or 1860 that he built a house, and there he spent most of his days and eventually died, at the age of seventy-five years. He served for a number of years as tax collector and also held the office of assessor in the community. He was a Democrat in politics, and a member of the First Lutheran Church, the site of which originally formed part of his farm. This property he afterwards bought back when the church was moved to the adjoining community of Leechburg.
