ROSCOE J. MUSSELMAN.

   Among the self-made citizens of Carrollton township, we find the name of
Roscoe J. Musselman, who has successfully withstood the drawbacks and
discouragements attendant upon a life in the rural district, without the
necessary funds with which to pursue his chosen vocation. Having his mark set at
a certain height, Mr. Musselman allowed nothing to thwart his final efforts
toward success, and deserves a place of honor in the history of Carroll county.

   Roscoe J. Musselman, farmer, Flora, Indiana, was born on August 9, 1884, at
Camden, Jackson township, Carroll county, and is a son of David L. and Mary A.
(Wickard) Musselman, mentioned elsewhere in this work. He grew to young manhood
in Carrollton township, where he attended the district schools, remaining on his
father's farm until he was twenty-one years old, when he started out for
himself, and worked by the month for two years. His farm, consisting of eighty
acres, lies four and a half miles east of Flora, Indiana. Mr. Musselman is a
stanch Republican, although he has never been personally active in politics.
Religiously, he belongs to the church of the United Brethren, and is a fraternal
member of Helmet Lodge No. 346, Knights of Pythias.

   Roscoe J. Musselman was united in marriage, November 27, 1907, with Mary G.
Wagoner, daughter of David M. and Margaret (De Bolt) Wagoner. She was born on
December 13, 1884, and was a graduate of tfee public schools. Two children have
come to bless this union, Moyne E., born on October 12, 1908, and Mary M., born
on May 28, 1910. Mrs. Musselman is an earnest member of the Presbyterian church.

   Mr. and Mrs. Musselman are affable and sympathetic people, who take a deep
interest in those in distress, believing it to be the duty of each and every
human being to extend practical help whenever called upon to do so.
