Obituary for Elizabeth Valentine Ressler from the Circleville Democrat & Watchman of May 3, 1889:
"Mrs. Elizabeth Ressler died at her residence near Thatcher Post Office, last Sunday morning, aged 68 years, 8 months and 16 days. She was a daughter of Joshua and Margaret Valentine, and was born in Pickaway County, August 12, 1820. In 1846, she was united in marriage to Jacob Ressler. This union was blessed with five children, her husband and two children having preceded her to the spirit land, leaving three children to mourn their loss, viz: Mrs. William Anderson, of this county; Samuel Ressler, of Fulton County, and Mrs. J. B. Sherwood, of Toledo, Tama County, Iowa. She was a loving wife, a kind mother and a devout christian. She has been a follower of Christ for over forty years, and on her death bed, she expressed her readiness to die and said it was well with her soul. She suffered intensely for two weeks, when finally the death angel summoned her on high to her eternal resting place, where trouble and sorrow come no more. Though we sadly miss her, yet we have the assurance that we are parted only for a short time, when we shall meet to part no more. The funeral took place on Monday, at the St. Paul Church. The services were conducted by Rev. A. E. Wright, who delivered a very able discourse from Hebrews 9:27."
