Physical Description: 158-185 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.

Series: Journal of the Lancaster County Historical Society ; v. 83, no. 3

Summary: "It is not easy to visualize in our time, that until 1744 only one house and one family occupied the tract of land that now constitutes about 70% of the land area of Lancaster's Seventh Ward, plus 30 acres in Lancaster Township. As the years passed, Hans Moser became known around the community as John Musser - sometimes Mosser...The small sandstone quarry started by John Musser, was turned into a commercial enterprise in later years by his grandson...One hundred years later it was still in operation and known as "Betz' Sand Quarry"...Today the grounds along the north side of the George Washington Elementary School, and a housing development across the street...mark the site of the extensive old quarry." [sample text from the article]

Subjects: Musser, John, - ca. 1704-1752.; Architecture - Pennsylvania - Lancaster County.
