The Washington Republican Washington County Friday May 18, 1900 Samuel MUSSER, of Washington, died in his home Friday, May 11th, 1900, being at the time of this death about 81 years old. He had lived in this community 27 years, and was favorably known as a quiet Christian man. He leaves two sons and one adopted daughter, with many relatives and friends. For over forty years he was a member of the M.E. church. Though these years do not seem long after they are once lived, yet their importance will appear in these expressions: 40 years believing in Christ; 40 years on the side of right; 40 years of good example; 40 years now crowned with eternal life. The funeral was held from his late home in Washington, Sabbath afternoon. A large company of neighbors followed the remains to their resting place in the cemetery south of the city. J.G. HENDERSON, Pastor.
