Person:Abraham Houser (4)

From Fern Arnspiger-Hyten letter: "John Arnspiger with his two sons, Simon Peter and Andrew Jackson and a son-in-law Abraham Houser started to California during the gold rush of 1849. Abraham Houser died before they reached California and Eula's great grandfather John Arnspiger died soon after crossing the California line. Place of burial unknown. Andrew reached California and wrote back many letters. He returned to Kansa and is buried in Sumner county."

From Houser Rhorer Dillman Hoover Families, p.82,(HRDH) Abe Houser III had a deformed or crippled foot which led him to be known as "club-foot Houser."

Abe "did not even begin the search for gold, for two weeks after his arrival in the Golden State, while cutting logs for a cabin, a tree fell on him, and killed him." (HRDH p.81)
