[NOTE: The above obits have slight differences in each - spelling of first and 
middle name; no middle initial of father and middle initial of father; different 
death dates by one day; and age of death day by one day. It is possible that the 
May 28, 1931 edition was a correction edition although it does not indicate that 
it is. The PA State Death Registration has "Omer G. Tressler" with date of death 
11 May].
