There are many other more distant relatives. The deceased was baptized in infancy and when sixteen years old united with St. John's Reformed Church in Montgomery county. About fifteen years ago he transferred his membership to St. John's Lutheran Church in Covington, where he was a member at the time of his death. The deceased was a successful farmer and business man, widely and favorably known. He served in different Township offices. Physically he was a strong robust man. He enjoyed good health during the greater portion of his life. A few years ago he became a sufferer from Diabetes, this together with poisoning from an affected tooth caused his death. On Tuesday of last week he was taken to Piqua hospital for special treatment, but death came on Wednesday evening. He was suffering intense pain and expressed a desire and a readiness to depart from this earthly life. Mr. Musselman will be greatly missed by the neighbors and friends and by the family. He and the grandsons were very close companions, especially was this true of the younger one, Paul. They seemed to enjoy each others companionship. The husband, father, grandfather, brother, and relative have passed from this earthly life after death. The Scriptures declare that they who die in the faith of the Lord are blessed. The family desire to thank all the neighbors and friends and words of sympathy in this time of sorrow. The funeral tributes were very pretty and expressive.
