Another Pioneer Fallen
The venerable Henry Houser died at the residence of his son-in-law, Daniel Kneisly, in Wayne township, in this county on Sunday morning, Mr. Houser was born July 18th 1788, in Shenandoah County, Virginia. He was married at an early age to Miss Magdalena Neff, and he soon afterwards- accompanied by his father, who made his home with him- emigrated to this county and settled upon the banks of the Great Miami River, about three miles north of Dayton about the year 1806. He was one of the first settlers in the county. In the vicinity of this city. Five brothers and two sisters also emigrated here from the Shenandoah Valley, and settled in the Miami Valley. After living about twelve years on the farm he opened on the banks of the Miami. Henry Houser removed to Miami county and permanently settled down on a farm in the vicinity of Piqua, where he lived forty-nine years. During his residence in Miami county, his wife died, and was buried in the Piqua Cemetery. About four years ago Mr. Houser returned to this county and made his home with his son-in-law. Mr. Daniel Kneisly, and he resided there until his death. The father and grandfather of the subject of this brief sketch also died on the 2nd day of February- a rather singular coincidence. His father was aged eighty years and a few days over a month, when he died and only about a week older than his son Henry, when he died. The wife of the deceased was nearly sixty-six years old when she died and she had been married about forty-six years they had seven children-six daughters and one son. The father survived two of his daughters. Those living are Mrs. Catharine Kneisly, Mrs. Rebecca Hathaway, Mrs. Czarina Reed, Miss Elizabeth Houser, and Aaron Houser.
Mr. Houser was always greatly esteemed by his acquaintances, and although, he was ever a prominent man in his neighborhood, he never aspired to public position and refused to hold office. His remains will be interred in the Piqua Cemetery today. Being widely known and greatly respected, doubtless a large concourse of citizen will attend his funeral both from Wayne township, and from the vicinity of his old home near Piqua; but of all the number, there will be few who came to this Valley at as early a day as the deceased.
