General Notes: Husband - Robert Tussey

---

He grew to manhood on the home farm, and was early taught that to earn one's bread by the sweat of the brow was one of the first laws of God. He remained with his father until his twenty-fourth year. After marriage he rented a farm for a couple of years. Then, with a little help from his father, bought it, and life in his own home commenced. In addition to his farming, he dealt in cattle, and for many years furnished the people in the country around with beef and other fresh meats, in which way he added to his means and paid for his home. It was said of Mr. Tussey by those who knew him best that few men of his age have done as much work as he, and that, even in his sixty-seventh year, few young men did the amount of hard labor done by him.
For many years he and his wife were members of the Reformed Church, and during the most of the time he was one of its elders. In early life a Whig in politics, he was later an ardent and true Republican.
