MUSSER-On Feb. 16, 1908, John Musser died of the infirmities of old age near Bowmansville, Pa., aged 79y. 2m. He was confined to his bed for 24 weeks, having been in a helpless condition most of the time, needing assistance day and night at times. He was sexton of the Bowmansville M. H. for a long time, until his sight failed and he could no longer fulfill his duties. His last years were spent in blindness, yet Christ was a light to his soul and a lamp to his feet. Funeral services were held on the 19th at the Bowmansville M. H. with interment in the adjoining graveyard. Services were conducted by Noah Bowman and Benj. Weaver in German and John Senger in English. Text, Psa. 126:6: "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him." Peace to his ashes.
