Over one hundred years ago there settled in this district a young man whose family name was to loom large in the following years of the history of this community. Martin Houser was among the original German settlers of the district. He was a charter member of the Moravian church and of the city of West Salem. John, his grandson was born Jan. 23, 1855, in a log cabin on the Houser farm west of West Salem, into the family of Edwin and Caroline (Schultz) Houser and lived out a long and honorable life time with but a short span, in his beloved community of West Salem.
He entered the bonds of holy matrimony with Anna Busefink. His wife, infant son and daughter, one brother, Dr. Martin and three sisters, Clara, Amelia and Caroline preceded him in death.
