Earl married Katie Garner (daughter of Charles and Lizzie Garner), who was the sister of Ben Garner. Earl and Katie's daughter Thelma would grow up to marry John Andrew "Andy" Ressler. Typical of tangled Lancaster County roots: Ben Garner married Cora Groff and their oldest son Ralph married Reba Ressler, who was the older sister of "Andy" Ressler. So the children of Andy and Thelma are related to me on both my Ressler and Garner family lines. I remember discussions growing up about them being double cousins to the rest of us.
