Stotser, a native of Switzerland, born in 1816, came to the United States with his parents when he was but eleven years age. He first lived in Pittsburg, Pa., then in Vermillion County, Ind.; afterwards in Stephenson county, Ill. and in 1857 came to Hardin County, (Iowa) and became a resident of Etna township. He now owns 200 acres of land. Mr. Stotser, in 1837, married Miss Hannah Hathaway. Their children are: Mary Jane, Elizabeth, Hannah, Maria, Sarah, Louise, George and Mahala. The oldest son, William, enlisted in the United States service, and now fills a soldier's grave having fallen at the battle of Pittsburg Landing" (Union Army-US Civil War).
