Musty, Peter, farmer, is a native of Belgium, born in 1831. His father was

land, and settled in Wyoming county, New York, where the mother soon died.
This subject remained on the farm with his father till 1868. He was

county, and bought two hundred and forty acres of land in Chester, where
his home is now, on sections 21 and 28. He has a beautiful farm on which

time of his purchase. He is a democrat, and the family is enrolled in
