General Notes: Husband - William S. Musser

---

His parents removed to Haines township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, when he was quite young, and there he first attended school near Fiedler. He did not wish to take the collegiate course which his parents had decided upon, but attended school in Bellefonte and Gettysburg. In 1883 he returned home, and being desirous of obtaining a good business education, he borrowed $200 of his uncle, Nicholas Harper, giving only his word for its return. With the money he thus obtained, he paid his tuition in the Eastman Business College, at Poughkeepsie, New York, where he completed the prescribed course and received a diploma.
In December, 1884, he entered the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company at Spring Mills, as a student under Stephen Soars, the agent at that time, and June 20, 1885, became extra agent and operator on a branch of that road. He next, in April, 1866, took charge of the office at Nesbit, Pennsylvania, where he remained until the following February, when he was made weighmaster at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, later serving as clerk in the freight office of that place. In July, 1888, he was transferred to the office at Spring Mills, where he then acted as agent and operator, and also agent for the Adams Express Company.
He was a prominent and active member of the Lutheran Church, where he served as trustee, and socially was a Master Mason, affiliating with the lodge at Centre Hall.
