  At the home of her daughter, Mrs. F. W. Fleischer, of 522 Martin 
street, Bellwood, Mrs. Catharine E. Tressler died at 11.30 Saturday 
morning, of cerebral hemorrhage.  Mrs. Tressler was a daughter of Jacob 
and Sarah Dumm, and was born at Elliotsburg, on January 24, 1844.  She 
was a resident of Perry county for many years and held her church 
membership there.  Since last fall she had been in Bellwood and friends 
there had learned to know her as a patient shut in, and esteem her for 
her Christian virtues.  Surviving are these children: Mrs. Dora V. 
Toomey and Mrs. Minnie P. Clouser, of Newport; Mrs. Sarah Jane Owens, 
of Dunannon; S. M. Tressler, of Washington, N.J.; Mrs. Emma C. 
Fleischer, of Bellwood; J. C. Tressler, of New York.  Seven 
grandchildren and one great-grandchild survive, also a brother, Dr. J. 
M. Dumm, of Mackeyville, and a sister, Mrs. O. L. Hench, of Blain.  
Funeral service will be held at the Fleischer home at Bellwood on 
Tuesday morning at 9.30.  On the 11.20 train the body will be taken to 
the home of a daughter at Newport, where funeral service will be held 
and interment made.
