FRANK MUSSER

Frank Musser is one of the well-known farmers of Fremont township, and is a native of Johnson county, where he has spent nearly his entire life. He was born in Fremont township, in January, 1865, and is a son of J. D. and Elizabeth (Raynor) Musser. The family, one that is well known in the county, is mentioned at some length in connection with the sketch of John D. Musser, a brother of Frank. Another brother, Joseph R., is also given a sketch in this work. The father was for many years engaged in farming in Fremont township. The parents were natives of Pennsylvania and England.

Reared to farm work, Frank Musser has followed this occupation all his life. At the age of twenty-two years he engaged in farming on his own account and has been successful in a gratifying degree. About 1893 he purchased a farm at Pleasant Valley, and in 1910 purchased the old family homestead in Fremont township, which he now occupies. He is an intelligent and able farmer and stands well with his neighbors. He has many friends in the community and takes an active interest in local affairs. In political views he is a democrat and in religious views he is a Methodist. He belongs to the church at River Junction. The family are well known socially and have a pleasant and attractive home.

In June, 1892, Mr. Musser was united in marriage with Miss Velta May Winman, a native of Iowa and daughter of John Winman and wife. There have been three children born of this union: Fred, John, and Emma. Mrs. Musser died January, 1909, mourned by the whole community. She had been a loving wife and mother and a kind neighbor and is sadly missed hv all who knew her.
