Re-enlisting as a corporal in the Two Hundred and Second Pennsylvania Regiment he served until honorably discharged, August 3, 1865. Among the wartime memories which stand forth prominently in his mind are the battle of South Mountain, where he participated in a parting volley which wrought havoc in the ranks of the enemy, and the Bloody Lane of Antietam, where he was wounded.

OBITUARY: Howard J. KRESSLY: Funeral services were held Thursday, at 1 p.m., at the Bonney-Watson undertaking parlors, Seattle, for Howard J. Kressly, member of the mining firm of Kressly & Campbell, Seattle. Mr. Kressly died suddenly from a heart attack early Sunday while aboard a Southern Pacific train nearing Klamath Falls en route from San Francisco to Seattle. Mr. Kressly was a pioneer mining broker in Spokane, where he resided several years, and was active during the late ’90s in the Rossland and Republic mining booms. Later, he moved to Lewiston and from there moved to Seattle about 10 years ago, where he joined Ray W. Campbell in mining promotion and brokerage. The firm of Kressly & Campbell raised much capital in connection with the development of the Alabama-California gold property at Auburn, Calif., which is now a substantial producer and nearing the dividend stage, according to late reports. The same firm also promoted the present Spud Valley company in Zeballos district, on Vancouver Island, originally pioneered by A.B. Trites. The Spud Valley has recently been producing around $65,000 per month and is paying dividends at the rate of 2 cents per share each quarter. More recently the Kressly & Campbell firm took over a mercury property near Williams, California, now nearing production, and also helped to organize Kensington Mines in Alaska, their latest mining venture in which E.M. Ehrhardt, formerly manager of the Federal Farm Loan bank in Spokane, has become interested, and taking an active part in its operation. Mr. Kressly is survived by his widow, Maude, daughter of Mrs. R.P. Drury, of Moscow, and a daughter, Mrs. Thomas Meade, both of Seattle.

Notes for Rosa Ellen KRESSLEY: Murdered her two youngest children and committed suicide May 20, 1903. 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 work 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 bath-room 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 it, 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.

September, 1918. Memorial services will be held in the Union Church at Neffs, on Sunday afternoon at two o’clock in honor of one of the members of the congregation who lost his life while facing the enemy on the Western Front in France, during the World War. The man to be thus honored and memorialized is Private Warren A. Gracely, son of Frank O. and Manetta, nee Hallman, Gracely of Ironton. The martyr to the cause of freedom was a member of the first contingent to leave for Camp Meade, Maryland, under the selective service regulations. He left this city on September 19, 1917. After a short period of training at Camp Meade, he was sent to the machine gun center at Camp Hancock, Georgia, and later transferred to Camp Uption, New York. Just a short time elapsed between the time he arrived at the latter camp and the time he departed for service overseas. When he left the shores of the United States, the soldier was a member of the 109th Infantry, commanded by Colonel W. R. Dunlap. He was in the thickest of the fight during several engagements, and escaped injury until the Battle of the Marne, when the tide of the war started to change in favor or the Allies. While in this sector, he was under continuous shell fire with his companions and so severe was the fighting that only seventeen of the original personnel of the entire company remained after the engagement was over. It was during the Marne engagement that he was severely wounded and died on September 6, 1918 at Vesle-River. He was buried on the same date in grave marked No. 7, in the village of Magnus, department of the Marne. The young man was thirty years of age and was a member of Allentown Lodge No. 129, L.O.O.M. He is survived by his sorrowing parents, one brother, Raymond and one sister, Millie, both of Ironton. A special service has been arranged for the services by the pastor, Rev. J.H. Longacre.

The animals roam inside a large, white fenced-in area that covers hills and valleys in the township. When winter firmly grips the area, the animals will be housed in spacious barns. “Once it gets real cold, we pen the animals in the barns. I couldn’t stand to see my pets out in snow and ice,” she says. Mrs. Kressley’s love of horses bubbles in her speech. “I’ve always loved animals. I love horses,” Kressley says while looking out the living-room window. Her feeling is evident in the numerous trophies and ribbons in the living room, along with photographs, paintings, table lamps, pillows, stuffed toys, a clock and other memorabilia relating to horses. Her breeding of horses and ponies began about 45 years ago when she and her husband, Ralph H., purchased a Shetland mare for their then 5-year-old son Willard. “After we had the mare for a few years, we started breeding them,” she says. Besides miniature horses, they have hackneys, Shetlands and Welsh ponies. Until recently they had 90 ponies, but sold eight of them. At one point they had about 200 head of horses for breeding. About 15 years ago, they began breeding miniature horses, of which they have about 30. The miniatures are between 25 and 34 inches tall. Their ponies range up to 56 inches in height. Although no special care is required for raising these animals, they have to be in top shape when it comes to show time. They have to have a bath and be clipped and brushed. Their tails are braided and tied up so they become nice and long. If the tails were left to drag on the ground, they would get dirty and break off. “There’s always something to be repaired,” Pauline Kressley says — like the fences and stalls her husband maintains. She does most of the work herself, including cleaning, feeding and watering the horses twice a day. A youth helps her with some of the chores in the morning. The stallions are kept in stalls, but left out in the fenced area for exercise. The Kressleys keep the animals on a 70-acre farm. They also have two other places where they raise and cut their own feed. Pauline Kressley observes that in the past 10-15 years miniature horses have become “very popular.” “Why they’re so popular I really don’t know,” she admits. “Some people buy them for pets, while other people purchase them for showing. “It takes much more feed and room for a full-size horse.” But the miniatures are not inexpensive. In a miniature-horse sale last spring in Texas, a 3-year-old stallion sold for $150,000, she notes. She has a 3-year-old miniature stallion she has been showing for the past three years. “Kressley’s Wee Willie has been the grand champion for the past three years at every show we showed him in,” she says. At the Canfield, Ohio, spring show their 10-year-old miniature mare Kressley’s April took a grand champion prize. The name refers to the mare’s birth in April. She says that for judging, the animals have to be built in proportion and have straight legs and good heads. Their daughter Clarabelle, wife of Frank Dengler, lives next door. She runs the pony rides at the Trexler-Lehigh County Game Preserve, a concession the Kressleys had until 15 years ago. Their son Willard runs the nearby Kressley Garage. Pauline Kressley was born and raised in the white house with blue shutters on the opposite side of Route 100. She has had animals all her life. The Kressleys previously resided in the Werleys Corner area of Weisenberg Township. Despite the pleasure her horses give her, she says she wishes she could “turn the clock back 20 years.” “There’s a lot of things I would like to do with these miniatures, but time is running short,” she notes. Caring for the animals is hard work, but she thinks it’s worth it. “They’re just like part of my family,” she concludes. We’re all one big happy family.”

Notes for Carson Lee KRESSLEY: Article from the Morning Call Newspaper in Allentown: Date: Thursday, January 17, 1991.

BRAVO Television Program Bio on Carson: Carson Kressley was born in 1969 and received his first piece of couture at the humble and tender age of 4. He slowly learned that he was a gifted child by realizing that plaid and stripes never go together and pleats make your butt look huge. He developed his keen fashion sense on the playground, mixing and matching outfits of all the children in his head and daydreaming of a world where everyone knew it was a cardinal sin to wear white after Labor Day. This constant daydreaming caused him to excel in the fashion world and obviously made him the last boy chosen in gym class. In his professional life, Carson is an independent stylist who spent many years working with Polo Ralph Lauren in New York City, specializing in the design aspect of the men’s sportswear division. He also supervised fashion styling for the company’s national retail advertising campaigns. Carson graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Gettysburg College with degrees in Finance and Fine Art. He started riding horses at the age of 6 on his grandparents pony farm, owns several American Saddlebred horses and is an avid, nationally ranked equestrian.

Date: Friday, August 20, 1993, Page: C05, Edition: FIFTH. Section: SPORTS:: NEW TRIPOLI’S KRESSLEY IS RIDING THE `ROLLER COASTER’ AT GRANDVIEW by JOHN LEE, The Morning Call: To master the dirt of Grandview Speedway, you have to be fast, lucky and in one piece at the white flag. That threesome has been so hard to nab this season that in 15 sprints over the D-shaped -5/8-mile circuit, there have been 13 different winners. Brian Kressley of New Tripoli has been riding the roller coaster track officials call “The Greatest Show on Dirt.” The local racer has one feature win at Bechtelsville with five Top 5 finishes, three other Top 10 endings and five crashes. He’s in the Top 15 in points. “We’ve had a few scrapes. The place is a bull ring and you have to respect that,” Kressley said. “One week you get through the pile-ups and the next week you’re in them. It just takes a lot of luck to get around that place.” In the $10,000-to-win Forrest Rogers Memorial earlier this month, the Northwestern High graduate moved from 20th to 14th being getting caught in a major wreck on the backstretch. A week prior to that race, he won his first Modified feature of the year at Grandview. Last week, he finished fourth. The 29-year-old is a six-year veteran of Sportsman Modified racing at Big Diamond and Grandview having saved several years to buy his first Small Block. He was bitten by racing as a child because of trips with his father to the Reading Fairgrounds. “I did it basically by myself at the start. I just went out and bought a used car and started from there,” Kressley said. “It was a `starting from the ground up’ type thing with a lot of support from my family. “Later on, I got the sponsorship and things like the tow vehicle,” he said of the backing of Kressley’s Auto & Truck Sales, Claussville, where he’s a shop manager. Kressley was graduated from the diesel and heavy truck program at Lehigh County Vo-Tech. This year’s feature win was just the second of his career. His bests in the early years were a pair of seconds at Big Diamond and Grandview before his first victory in 1991. The love of the sport and the thrill of the competition has kept Kressley going through some tough times. In ’93, because of budget constraints and a lack of help, Kressley has decided to only race at Grandview. “It’s the closest track and pays the best money around.” Still the Bechtelsville facility has been difficult even with a crew of Kenny Kreitz of Lebanon, Dave Faust of Emmaus, Mike Bickel of Trexlertown and Don Hoffman of Wescosville. “It’s one of the toughest tracks that I’ve driven, and one of the most costly. They start a 29-car field and any one of the cars is capable of winning. The rules make the racing so equal that anyone can win on any night,” Kressley said. “I haven’t found the edge to win consistently. You have to have the right combination of things. We have a good motor program, and the car has been running well all year, but we’re just missed that little bit of luck that would make the difference,” he said. In his recent 25-lap feature victory, Kressley started 13th, got to the lead on the 13th lap after avoiding several crashes, and rode to the easy victory after getting in front of the pack. “There were a couple of mix-ups that we got through, but some late cautions gave other drivers a lot of chances at us,” Kressley said. “But, we were able to hold them off. “The secret to Grandview is keeping your eyes open and keeping out of trouble. It’s a tight track with little room and few escape routes. I’d like to keep running as we’re going. It would be nice to finish in the Top 10 in points,” he said. Kressley is married to the former Beverly Eisenhard.
