Mrs. Sarah Musselman.

had been confirmed in this church during the pastorate of the late Rev. Dr. C. 
A. Hay, many years ago.  Her life was a simple and beautiful one and she was 
beloved by all who knew her.

Mrs. Musselman is survived by three sons and three daughters - Cleason M., of 
Mt. Vernon, N.Y.; George, of Spring Grove, and Charles, of Fairfield; Mrs. Annie 
Miller and Mrs. Felix Foller, of Gettysburg, and Mrs. Charles H. Emig, of 
Hanover.  Two sisters and a brother also survive - Mrs. Eliza Bushey, of York; 
Mrs. Louisa Diller, of York Springs, and George Wortz, of Locust Street, this 
place.
