   JOSEPH GEISINGER farmer, P.O. Quakertown, was born in 
1822, and is now living retired and enjoying the fruits of 
his early industry.  He married Rebecca, daughter of John 
and Susanna (Young) Musselman, of this county, in 1848.  
They have one child, Joseph Geisinger, now grown to manhood. 
 The parents of our subject were Abraham and Barbara 
Geisinger.  The former lived to the advanced age of 82 
years, and the latter deceased in 1837.  They had seven 
children, two of whom are deceased.  Five years of our 
subject's life, after attaining his majority, were spent at 
this trade, after which he took up farming, and for the past 
twenty-five years has owned and lived on his present farm.  
He is a member of the Mennonite church, and in politics is a 
republican.
