Misc. Notes
James Cockburn Stuckslager (1888-1967) married Anna (or "Oma") Harbaugh (1894-1977) on June 19, 1918, when she was age 23 and he was 29. He was the son of Cristian H. and Josephine (Wells) Stuckslager. She was born on Sept. 5, 1894 at Victoria, Fayette County, and as a young single woman, was a school teacher in Fayette County.
James later became a Commissioner of Fayette County.
They resided in 1928 in New Salem, Fayette County, and in the 1940s in Uniontown, Fayette County, where James was employed as a livestock supervisor. They were members of the Third Presbyterian Church. They had two children -- Betty Jean Stuckslager and James Stuckslager. Sadly, son James Jr. died in childhood in 1933.
James is thought to have been elected treasurer of the Stuckslager clan annual reunion, held at an old family home near Perryopolis, Fayette County, in June 1931. That year, about 100 people attended, which included a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the purchase of the homestead, said the Uniontown Herald. The event featured a "beautiful chicken dinner" and speeches by county superintendent of schools James G. Robinson as well as H.R. Stuckslager, Christian Stuckslager, Florence B. Moore and James Stuckslager. Oma's brother Earl Harbaugh and his wife also attended in 1931.
