Lancaster County Family Ties

I don't know the source for this, it was among the papers that grandma gave me.  Maybe the Lancaster newspaper......

Frank Ressler farmed in New Providence township.  The address it would have been in the 1920 - 1940's was a rural route and I do not have a current address.  However, thanks to cousin M. Ressler who was willing to share this photo, this is what the farm looked like in 2012.  When grandma was alive and we would drive in that area, she always refused to stop.  She said too many changes had occurred and it didn't even look like the home place to her anymore. The above house was built in the very late 1930's or very  early 1940 and is in the background of several photos of my mom labeled 1940. This was the previous home on the farm and was where all of Frank and Bertha's children were born.  Grandma thought this picture was taken in the early 1920's. Anna Ressler in the early 1920's with the farm buildings in the background.

RESSLER PHOTOS - THANKSGIVING DAY 1915: Thank you to relative K. Hess for her willingness to share these two pics. These two go with the 2 others that I put on here earlier.  It must have been quite a family event to have had these pictures taken.
