Howard Mutchler

Biography

Howard Mutchler represented Pennsylvania's citizens in the United States House of Representatives, bringing Easton's concerns to the halls of Congress with a pragmatic mind and a respectful manner. He balanced national responsibilities with the needs of his district, working on committees that touched railroads, veterans, and commerce.

At home he remained engaged in civic affairs, supporting charities and local improvements that reinforced the public good, and he encouraged young leaders to continue the work of public service. Easton Cemetery now holds his remains, reminding visitors of a congressman whose steadiness helped bind local and national life.
