---

Generation 1

 

1. BERNARD1 KRESSLY was born in 1768 in Weisenberg Township, Lehigh Co., PA. He died before 1850 in Heidelberg Twp. Lehigh, PA. He married (1) CLARA WERLEY, daughter of Sebastian WERLEY and Rosina Barbara DERR, about 1796. She was born on 20 Jan 1767 in Weisenberg Township, Lehigh Co., PA. She died about 1827 in Heidelberg Twp. Lehigh, PA. He married (2) ROSINA WERLEY, daughter of Sebastian WERLEY and Rosina Barbara DERR, in 1829. She was born in 1770 in Weisenberg Township, Lehigh Co., PA.

Notes for Bernard KRESSLY: “Bernhard Kressly was a farmer and distiller in Heidelberg. He is said to be buried at Heidelberg, but there is no stone. He was still listed in census of 1830 – 1 male 50-60, 1 male 20-30, 1 male 15-20 and 1 female 15-20. This would indicate that he was born between 1770-1780 and that his wife had already died. Regarding his marriage and children, there is some confusion – the Weisenberg church record that a daughter Christina was born to Bernhard Kressly and Clara Werle. It does not say wife Clara Werle, but it also does not say that the child was born out of wedlock. Clara Werle, b. Jan 20, 1767, was a daughter of Sebastian and Rosina Barbara Werley. But the Bittner-Werley history (and Jacob Bittner) said Bernhard Kressly was married to Rosina Werley who was a younger sister of Clara. The Bittner-Werley history sheds no light on this. The baptismal records do not give the mother’s name, so it is possible that he was married first to Clara Werley and then to Rosina Werley.” Northampton special census of 1800 the four brothers, Jacob, John, Adam and Bernhard spelled the name Kresslie (or the census taker did). PA Census of 1810, Roll M252_51, Page 5- Mifflin Co. Heidelberg Twp., lists his name as Barnet Kressley along with John, Jacob and Adam Kressley in lines above. PA Census of 1820, Heidelberg Twp., shows in order: Adam Kressly (ID#PAS2a721729), Bernhart Kressly (ID#PAS2a721730) John Kressly Jr., (ID#PAS2a721731), John Kressly Sr., (ID#PAS2a721732) and Peter Kressly, (ID#PAS2a721733). PA Census of 1840 shows Bernhard in Heidelberg Twp.: 1 male 60-70 (Bernhard himself) and 1 male 20-30, probably Jonathan). PA Census 1850 does not list Bernhard.

Notes for Jonas KRESSEL: From the Book: Portrait and Biographical Record of Boone and Clinton Co., Indiana, Published in 1895. (Submitted by Phyllis Kressley Smith 1998) Jonas Kressel one of the enterprising citizens of Madison Township, Clinton Co., (IN) who takes an active and commendable interest in everything pertaining to its welfare. He was born in Lehigh CO., (PA) October 25, 1830 and is the son of Henry and Catherine Herber Kressel, both of whom were natives of the same County and were of German Lineage. The father, (Henry) was born in 1801 and during his youth at a young age started out for himself, scorning no labor which would afford him an honest livelihood. As soon as he had acquired sufficient capital, he purchased a small farm which he would cultivate in the summer season while in the winter months, he engaged in weaving. He lived in Lehigh County until his death in 1876. His wife passed away at the advanced age of 85. This worthy couple were the parents of seven children but only two are now living, Jonas and Owen. The latter, a farmer, residing near Sedalia, IN. The deceased are Caroline, Julia, Daniel, Solomon and Joseph.

• OBITUARY in Indiana Times April 7, 1938: Jonas KRESSLY, a native of Lowhill township, died at his home near Mulberry, Indiana, aged 72 years. He was a son of the late Henry and Catherine Kressly. He left Lowhill and settled in Indiana at the age of 18. In 1850 he married Miss Fianna Mertz, who survives, with one son, John Kressly. He owned a fine farm and other property two or three miles East of Mulberry.  Jonas Kressel continued on the old homestead until 18 years of age when he left home to learn the trade of carpentering under his cousin Nathan Kressel for whom he continued for more than two years. In 1856, he began taking contracts for himself.  He has been a resident of Clinton Co., IN since April 1856 and here he successfully carried on business as a contractor and builder until 1880. He made his first purchase of land in 1856 becoming owner of 6 acres. He now owns 160 acres of well-improved land, the greatest part of which he improved himself. He carried on farming and stock raising for some time and is now retired. On the eighteenth of May, he married Fianna Martz, daughter of John and Lean (Merkel) Martz. The father came to this country at an early age and here remained until his death. His family numbered 6 children.  Mr and Mrs Kressel have one child, John H. who was born June 16, 1869 and who now operates his father’s farm. The parents are both members of the Lutheran church. Mr Kressel served as Deacon for many years and is now an Elder in the church in Mulberry, In. In Politics, he is a democrat. In 1888 he was elected trustee and in 1890 re-elected and held the office for four years. He is true to every trust reposed in him, whether public or private, and is an honorable upright man and his well spent life has gained him the confidence and regard of the entire community.

Notes for Owen KRESSLEY:  From the Book: Portrait and Biographical Record of Boone and Clinton Co., Indiana, Published in 1895. (Submitted by Phyllis Kressley Smith 1998). Owen Kressley is successfully engaged in farming in Owen Township, Clinton County, IN. He is recognized as one of the leading citizens of the community, and is an honored veteran of the late war. The family was founded in America by his grandfather, who emigrated from Germany to Lehigh County, PA, where the father, Henry Kressley was born. The latter married Catherine Harper and they had six children — Caroline, Jonas, Daniel, Julia A., Owen and Solomon. The parents belong to the Lutheran Church and Mr. Kressley was a Whig until the breaking out of the late war when he became a democrat. His death occurred at the age of seventy-two and his wife died at the age of eighty-three. Owen Kressley was born in the Keystone state, May 23, 1835, was reared in the usual manner of farm lads, and at the age of nineteen left home to visit his brother in this county. In 1856, on attaining his majority, he led to the marriage alter Miss Sarah E. Mink, who was born November 23, 1840 and is a daughter of Joseph and Leah (Smith) Mink. They began their domestic life upon her father’s farm, where they lived until 1864, when they came to their present place of residence. Their home has been blessed with fifteen children — Henry J., Levi F., Ben F., Jonas W., Jeremiah C., Irvin C., Monroe E., James M., Sarah Ann E., Amanda E., Joshua O., Martha M., John A., Charles W., and Leah B. The family circle yet remains unbroken. In 1864, Mr and Mrs Kressley received from her father eighty acres of timber land, which the husband at once began to clear and improve. The fields are now well tilled and the place is neat and thrifty in appearance, indicating to the passer-by his careful supervision. There is a good house, also barns, a thrifty orchard and much small fruit. The place is pleasantly located a mile and a half from Sedalia, and eleven miles from Frankfort, so the comforts and privileges of the town are easily obtained. Both Mr and Mrs Kressley are members of the Lutheran church, and in the community where they live they are held in high regard. Mr Kressley has served as supervisor.  During the late war he manifested his loyalty to the government by enlisting, in 1865 as a member of Company E., One Hundred and Fifty fourth Indiana Infantry, under Captain Scott. They went to Virginia, where they did guard and picket duty, and in August, 1865, they were mustered out, the war having closed. Mr Kressley is a public-spirited citizen, who manifests the same fidelity in days of peace as when he joined the boys in blue. [Cause of death was Bright’s Disease. His funeral was held at Sedalia Methodist Church. Obituary was published in January 26, 1913.]

Notes for Rosa Ellen KRESSLEY:Allentown Morning Call, May 21, 1903: One of the most shocking tragedies that has ever occurred in this county was enacted at Slatington yesterday when Mrs. Albert Bachman killed two of her children, aged one and three years, and then killed herself. The woman must have lost her mind suddenly, as no previous actions can be traced to warrant any other conclusion. Her husband is a carpenter in the employ of Francis Handwerk, the contractor. They had eight children living, of which number several are grown up, and they resided in a portion of the double house owned by Charles Benner, Jr., on East Washington Street. The mother remarked to friends not long ago that she was very happy in having such a fine home and that it was far beyond what she had ever expected. There are people who say that she did talk a little queer sometimes, yet never made threats against any one. Yesterday morning the husband and the older sons left home as usual, and the mother, the three smaller children and the maid remained at home. At school time, the six-year-old son, Walter, left for school, and last evening he said he had seen his mother get the razor from the case just as he left, but he had no idea what she wanted to do. At about 9.30, the maid, Miss Emma Peter, left to come to this city by car, and she stopped at the house of Undertaker Berkemeyer and talked for a while before she went for the car. Up to that time things must have been all right at the Bachman home, and the murder and suicide must have taken place between 9.40 and noon. At noon when Walter returned from school, the house was locked, and soon his brother Victor and a boarder, Miss Lillie Treichler, who worked in the silk mill, also returned, and the young boy climbed into the house through the window and opened the door. Miss Treichler and Victor then prepared dinner, and after the three had eaten, they again hurried away to work and school. It was nothing uncommon for Mrs. Bachman to be away at noon, as she sold soap and boraxine to secure premiums, but before this, she had always prepared dinner before she left. In the evening at about 6 o’clock, when the husband and children returned home, Francis, one of the older sons, went upstairs and made the startling discovery. He quickly called the father and the rest, and the scene that followed may better be imagined than described. In one room lay the two little children on the bed, arm in arm, and in the bath room lay the mother in the bath tub. The woman must have taken the children, laid them on the bed and deliberately cut their throats and then cut her own. It was a sad sight to see, the little ones arm in arm hurried to an early death under these circumstances. They had not been undressed. Their names were Roy, aged one year, and Edna, aged three years. The jugular vein of the boy was cut on the right side and that of the girl on the left. They lost a great deal of blood. The bedding was red with the blood of the children. One of them was also cut at the cheek, showing that the mother must have been nervous, or the little one resisted. After the mother had killed the children, she slashed her own throat, severing the large veins, and then placing the knife on the pillow of the bed where the children lay, she made her way to the bathroom as a bloody trail shows, and there lay down in the bath tub to die. The water pressure in that section is poor, so Mr. Bachman had filled the bath tub with water the night before so as to have a supply of water on hand for the next day. In throwing herself into the tub, her head in some way became entangled in the chain to which the rubber stopper is attached and thus the escape was opened and the water all ran out of the tub. When found, her clothing was still wet, but the water had evidently escaped before she could have been drowned. She was apparently a strong woman and of a happy disposition and hardly a reason can be assigned for the deed excepting that of insanity. That she loved her children is evident from the stories of neighbors who say she often referred to them in fond terms and especially of the little girl. Last week the little one was lost and had wandered to Walnutport, and when the officer returned her, she cried for joy. Her name was Rosa E. Bachman, nee Kressley. Her father was the late Jackson Kressley of New Tripoli, and her mother, who survives, resides with Mr. and Mrs. Granville Billig, the latter being a sister to Mrs. Bachman in this city. About nine years ago, they moved from New Tripoli to Slatington. She was 40 years of age and besides the husband, there survive these children: Victor, Francis, Laura, Willie, Oliver and Walter. Laura is also at home in this city. Mrs. Billig is her only sister and William Kressley, of Slatedale, is her only brother. Undertaker John Berkemeyer has charge of the funeral arrangements. He placed the three bodies in one large temporary coffin, but will have three coffins for them. The burial will take place at New Tripoli, where the family has a plot in the cemetery. The funeral will likely take place Saturday or Sunday.
