HARRY F. BOUSLOUGH, residing on a farm of 135 acres in Frankstown Township,
has been a life long resident of this township. He was born on the home farm
February 16, 1859, a son of William and Anna (Fleck) Bouslough. His parents
were both natives of Blair County, as also were his grandparents on both
sides. The father was of German descent and a life long resident here. He was
a farmer by occupation, a Republican in politics, and religiously a member of
the Lutheran church. He was first married to a Miss Eliza Young, by whom he
had five children, four of whom died in infancy, the other, Blair Y., a
resident of Altoona. His marriage with Anna Fleck resulted in the following
issue: Mary C., now deceased, who was the wife of Lorenzo D. Stewart; Harry
F.; Sadie E., now Mrs. Robert Hileman; Anna Margaret, who is the wife of
Fletcher Hand; William W.; and Eliza Jane, who died when young.
     Harry F. Bouslough attended the local schools of Frankstown Township
until eighteen years of age, his father's farm being the scene of his boyhood
activities. After leaving school he engaged in agricultural pursuits and for
the past twenty-seven years has farmed his present place, which he inherited
in 1904 from his father. All the improvements were on the farm, which is
sufficiently equipped and stocked for general farming, but the house was
remodeled by Mr. Bouslough after he came into possession of the property.
     On March 12, 1885, Mr. Bouslough was married to Catherine Wertz, a
daughter of John and Jane (Vanallman) Wertz, both now deceased. Her parents
were among the early settlers of the county, as also were her grandparents on
both sides. The children of John and Jane Wertz were as follows, born in the
order named: David, Samuel V., Jane E., Malinda L., (all deceased), John C.,
Francis M., Meartin L., Sevell W., Andrew C., and Catherine, wife of the
subject of this sketch. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Bouslough,
namely: William M., who married Martha E. Culp; Olive M., Frank C., Harry C.,
Mabel C., and Jesse M.
     In politics Mr. Bouslough is an adherent of the Republican party, and
has served one year as supervisor; he is township auditor, and was school
director about fifteen years. Mr. and Mrs. Bouslough are both members of the
Lutheran church.
