Tressler, Simon M.

  Following an illness of five months duration, Simon M. Tressler, the well 
known and highly esteemed section foreman on the B. & O. railroad at this place, 
died at his home on Main Street on Tuesday at 6 a. m. He had been afflicted with 
sciatica rheumatism, but his friends did not know of his suddenly getting worse 
on last Saturday. The immediate cause of his death was neuralgia of the heart. 
Mr. Tressler was born in the vicinity of Glencoe on June 27, 1860, making his 
age 55 years, 8 months and 9 days. In early manhood he entered the employ of the 
B. & O. railroad and for 36 years he has served his company with much 
faithfulness. Those who were employed by him speak of the highest terms 
concerning him as a man and a Christian. There survive him his wife, two 
daughters, Ada M. and Edna, the latter being quite ill with tonsillitis; and one 
son, Alva M. a fireman on the B. & O. railroad. One brother, Jesse Tressler of 
Johnstown survives also. The deceased was a faithful member of the Reformed 
Church and the pastor of the deceased Dr. A. E. Truxal will conduct the funeral 
service on Friday at 2 p. m., assisted by Rev. J. C. Matteson.
