Notes par Abraham Guss Sr

Abraham Guss, Sr., was born on French creek, East Vincent township, Chester County, September 13, 1800. At the age of eighteen he was left the oldest of six children at home, who, with a widowed mother, were to care and provide for. Thus placed at the head of the family, he passed through a severe and trying school, but if no doubt tended greatly to develop his self-reliance and fit him for a successful after-life. For several years he traveled over a radius of half a dozen miles, carrying his kit of tools, and even a stool, making his home for the time being with his patrons, according to the customs of those days. By the aid of his industrious, exemplary and economical helpmate, he accumulated sufficient to buy the McGuire-Hardy-Patterson tract, on Licking Creek, in 1832, on which he lived fifty-two years, on which he erected a fine brick house, a large bank barn, cider-press, saw-mill, a tenant-house and other buildings, and greatly improved and enlarged the farm. He was a successful farmer, a substantial citizen, an honest and judicious man. In 1820 he joined the Lutheran Church at Church Hill, near Port Royal; soon afterwards he transferred his membership to Mifflintown, where he was an elder as early as 1837; and his name is found at the head of almost every subscription paper up to 1861, when he took an active part in the erection of a new church near his home in Licking Creek, and was the largest contributor to that laudable enterprise.
