OLDEST RESIDENT OF EAST FREEDOM DIES

  Daniel G. Ressler, oldest resident of East Freedom and practically a 
lifelong resident of that community, died at his home there this 
morning at 7.30 o'clock in his 91st year.
  Mr. Ressler was a son of pioneer residents of Bloomfield Furnace, Mr. 
and Mrs. Daniel Ressler, and was born on Dec. 25, 1847.
  When his parents moved to Freedom township he went with them and 
early in life followed farming and lumbering. Later he moved to East 
Freedom where he was variously employed for many years. He served as 
constable in the township for several terms and drove a delivery wagon 
for H. C. Burger, village merchant.
  Mr. Ressler was twice married, both wives preceding him in death, as 
did his only child and a step-child. Surviving are two grandchildren 
and one brother, Lafayette Ressler of Duncansville. Friends may view 
the remains at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. Paul Hicks, with 
whom he made his home in recent years.

RESSLER - Funeral services for Daniel G. Ressler will be conducted at 
the home in East Freedom, Friday morning at 10.30 o'clock in charge of 
his pastor, Rev. M. L. Wilt, pastor of the United Brethren church.
