At the age of 21 years he came to Elkhart County, Indiana, and located on the David Kreider farm west of Jamestown. The place is now known as the Myers farm. There he was married to Fanny Kreider and two children were born to them. David K, who lives near Wadsworth, Ohio, and Mary who died at the age of ten years. Mrs Ressler died April 18, 1874, and in the fall of that year he left the Kreider home and moved to Union township. In April, 1876 he was married to Susan Landis, who preceded him in death on March 21, 1927.
