Tressler - Mrs. Catharine Tressler, one of the oldest residents of East Ferguson 
township, was found dead in bed on Wednesday morning of last week [January 9, 
1918] at the home of her son, Fred Wibley. She was born in Germany on March 7, 
1831, hence was in her eighty-eighth year. She came to this country when a child 
and most of her life had been spent in Centre county. She was twice married, her 
first husband being David Wibly, by whom she had five children. In 1888 she 
married Isaac Tressler, of Linden Hall, who died in 1903. Her only survivors are 
one son and a daughter, Fred Wibly of Ferguson township, and Mrs. William Wolf, 
of Avoca. The funeral was held last Friday morning, burial being made in Pine 
Hall Cemetery.

Democratic Watchman, 18 January 1918

Additional Comments:
Catharine, according to several census records, was born in 1837.  This date 
also agrees with her age listed as 16 on a Port of New York passenger list for 
the ship Vancluse dated 1 June 1853.
