Philip BOSSERMAN (1775-1849) born In Adams Co, died in Newport, buried at Middle Ridge Cemetery, married Beulah Williams, and then Mary Pfoutz. Philip was a tax collector for Juniata Township. The office of tax collector was not a very desirable one in those days. In 1821 Philip Bosserman collected $915.22, serving as one of the township tax collectors. There were about five tax collectors.
1834 From Smith the "McNamara's Mill" was passed to John Weary, and from him to William Bosserman. It the came known as Bosserman Mill, and a post office was established bearing that name.
