General Notes: Husband - Conrad Bossart

---

He was born on the home farm at Irwin Station, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and there he assisted his father in general agricultural pursuits until his thirty-third year, when he was married and went to a home of his own, settling at what later became Bussardtown, which place was founded by his father. In early life he learned and followed the cooper's trade and when his labors had brought him sufficient capital to purchase land he became the owner of a farm near Adamsburg and there turned his attention to agricultural pursuits. In 1865 he purchased his father-in-law's farm, which later lay in the heart of Arona and in the middle of the richest coal fields of Pennsylvania. He afterward bought Joseph Rombaugh's farm and made his home thereon until his death. He held membership in the Brush Creek Lutheran church and gave his political support to the Democracy.
