Solomon Musser and wife were both born in Springfield Township, Mahoning County, Ohio. In 1845, just after their marriage, they moved to the present farm, where they subsequently died. They were good Christian people and are still remembered for the kind deeds they did when living. They had but two children, John A; and Sarah C. The latter, who was the wife of William Ehle, is deceased.
John A. Musser was reared on the farm which has been his home through life. When he reached manhood he married Catherine Failer, a daughter of George Failer. She was reared near Palestine, Columbiana County, Ohio. Mr. and Mrs. Musser have two children—George D. and Alma Corene, both of whom reside at home. Both children are graduates of the Mount Jackson High School and for two terms the daughter taught the Martin School in North Beaver Township, where she became very popular as a teacher. Mr. Musser and his son engage in general farming and dairying. The family belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Petersburg, and Mr. Musser is a member of its board of trustees. He belongs to the beneficiary order of the Protected Home Circle.
