Mr. Musselman was a 1958 graduate of Greenfield-Kimmel High School. He retired as manager of Blue Knob Resort in 1996 to become a full-time farmer. He was a member of Upper Claar Church of the Brethren, where he volunteered for many projects.
Emory enjoyed working on the farm, attending Claysburg football games and wrestling matches, hunting trips with his best friend, Francis, and lending a helping hand to friends and family. He especially enjoyed the two weeks of deer season, hunting with his grandson, Kendall, and having special talks and sharing memories. Emory will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
