Note: Some family members spell the last name Husmann such as his parents and it is written on the gravestone in that manner. He spells his Husman; so between family members it can vary. Four those doing family research I am putting both spellings in the surnamne box put putting the spelling of the one on the gravestone in the deceased name section. Also his mother's maiden name is Ressen.
