Judge John H. Houser Dead.
Wednesday night of last week Judge John H. Houser died at his home on Washington Avenue in Perry. He had suffered with a disease of the bladder for several months, and for about two weeks had been critically ill. At the Methodist church Thursday afternoon the funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Arnold, assisted by Rev. J. D. Rabun. The burial was in Evergreen cemetery. A very large crowd attended the services, and the floral offerings were many and typical of the high esteem in which Mr. Houser was held. Mr. John H. Houser was born in Orangeburg district, South Carolina, on December 4th, 1885, the older son of the late Mr. Wesley Houser of Fort Valley. He moved to Georgia in 1857, and located in Houston county. Later he came to Perry. For the last fifty-one years he was a devout member of the Methodist church, and until interrupted by age and disease, his christian life was active and true. He served the people of Houston county several years as Tax Receiver and several terms as Ordinary. In these positions, as in all others, his services were correct and efficient. Of his immediate family surviving him are, the devoted widow, four daughters and five sons: Mrs. Sallie Pooser of Cameron, S.C., Mrs. Maggie Edwards and Mrs. S. L. Norwood of Perry and Mrs. Lucy Hiley of Fort Valley; Mr. Charles W. Houser, of near Perry, Frank H of Macon, Sam P. of Perry, George P. of Dublin and Zach T. Houser of Scott, Laurens County. There are also a number of grand-children and several great-grand-children. There are five brothers and five sisters also remaining: Jeff D. and Edward A. Houser of South Carolina, Frank H. of Tampa, Fla., W. Lee and Onan M. of Fort Valley; Mrs. Minna Spigner, Mrs. Mary Inabnett and Mrs. Anna Culler of South Carolina, Mrs. Mabel Marshall of Macon. All the sons and daughters, his only widowed daughter-in-law, Mrs W. H. Houser of Macon, two brothers, Messrs. Lee and Onan Houser, and many other relatives attended the funeral. The Houser name, with the connections by marriage, is probably more extensive than that of any other family in Houston county. Judge Houser was true to his convictions, and his life was in accord with his conception of christian duty...


Per information from Nancy Ziemba Gleaton
His mother was Wesley Houser's 2st wife, Margaret Gaffney, who died about 1856. I can't find any burial information for her.
