The Houser Sisters
William Henry Houser was born February 1860, the son of
George & Anna (Moyer) Moser. He,
along with his siblings Catherine, Sarah Elizabeth, & Anna Louisa, were all
born and raised in Chapman Twp, Snyder County PA.
The 1880 Census tells us that William was a boat builder,
and that his father could not read or write, and that his mother could not
write.
On March 6 1881, William married Sarah Jane Snyder, the
daughter of David & Susannah (Shaffer) Snyder. William & Susan Houser were the parents
of 8 children:
The 1900 Census lists William as a day laborer. Two of his daughters, Celestia & Lizzie,
have married and both them and their spouses are living with William &
Sarah, along with Thomas, Susan, & William jr. William's mother Annie is listed next door, a
widow. By 1910, William has moved to
Perry County Ohio with his wife, and Susan 17, WIlliam 15, Jennie 8 & Iva 3.
In 1920 he was back in Pennsylvania,
listed as a house carpenter.
In 1923 William died.
He is buried in Saint John United
Bretheran Cemtery in Port Trevorton, Snyder County Pa.

1862 - Sarah Jane Snyder is born
parents: Jacob Snyder & Susanna Shaffer (see Sarah's death certificate)
The census clearly shows Sarah Jane is the daughter of David H. & Susanna... I think William JR made a mistake when filling out the death certificate.
Her obit also lists David as her father.
