General Notes: Husband - Emanuel Musser

---

Upon the old homestead in Gregg township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, he passed the days of his boyhood and youth, and acquired his education in the Crossroad and Heckman schools of the same township. He attended until sixteen years of age, when he started out to earn his own livelihood as a farm hand at $6.00 per month. After one year spent in this way he learned the tanner's trade, which he followed for four years in Boalsburg, Harris township, Centre County. On the expiration of that period, he went to Illinois, where for six months he worked at the carpenter's trade; but failing health caused him to return home, and for four years he again followed farming. After his marriage he operated his father-in-law's farm two years, at Buffalo Run Valley, and then rented a place for the same length of time in Pine Grove, after which he purchased sixty-seven acres near Houserville. After cultivating that tract for nine years he sold out and bought 164 acres of good land near State College, where he has made his home beginning in 1874. He made many noticeable improvements to the farm which added to its value and attractive appearance, including an extensive dairy, which he conducted for more than fifteen years with excellent success.
He used his right of franchise in support of the Democratic party, but supported Abraham Lincoln when he was the Presidential candidate. He was an active worker in the Lutheran Church, and a charter member of Oak Hall Grange.
