The Tyrone Herald 5/20/1915
Frank Tremmel, a prominent farmer of Sinking Valley, died at the Mercy 
hospital, Altoona, at 10:40 o’clock on Sunday night as a result of an injury 
sustained while plowing on his farm on Friday last.  He was admitted to the 
hospital at 6 o’clock Sunday evening.
The injury was not at first thought to be of a serious character.  While he was 
plowing the implement struck some obstruction causing the horses to stop 
suddenly and Mr. Tremmel was thrown against the plow handle, being hit in the 
abdomen.  Obstruction of the intestines followed and when the injury did not 
respond to treatment he was taken to Altoona and taken to the hospital for an 
operation.  But he grew worse very rapidly and died at 10:40.  Coroner W. T. 
Blackburn was notified of his death and will conduct an investigation today.
Mr. Tremmel was born in Austria, May 5, 1849, and came to this country forty-
five years ago, locating in the Sinking Valley, where he engaged in farming, 
being a frugal, industrious man and successful in his undertakings.  He was a 
member of St. Mary’s German Catholic church in Altoona.  He is survived by his 
wife, five sons and two daughters, as follows: John, Joseph and Miss Catherine 
at home; Frank, Peter, Edward and Mrs. Mary Zeak, of Altoona.   He also leaves 
one brother, Joseph, of Newry, and one sister, Mrs. Catherine Steiner, of 
Hollidaysburg.
