This continues a series of posts, done in a very efficient (make that speedy fast) manner to share some research on the ancestors. This is NOT intended to be the end all to end all report. It's a work in progress, to show you what I have found, right or wrong. Kind feedback is welcomed via comments.
Let's begin.
Meet - - Flora Lucinda (nee) Waite Ressler Ressler.
Newp, that is not a typo on my part. Flora married two dudes by the name of Ressler, and sent me on quite the chase.
AND:
Flora marries Franklin J. Ressler first. Years later, she marries Frank Marice Ressler. Yes, Franklin J. and Frank Marice are related, they are first cousins.

Mrs. Frank Ressler, 80, of Shell Rock died Sunday at the Waverly hospital. Services will be held at Shell Rock and the funeral cortege is expected about 3 o'clock this (Thursday) afternoon.
As Flora Waite, she was married to Frank J. Ressler, and for many years their home was on a farm in Smithfield township; later they moved to property north of the town bridge.
To this union two sons were born, Kenneth of St. Paul. Minn., and Ivan of Minneapolis, Minn.
Mr. Ressler died in 1932, and in 1938 Mrs. Ressler was united in marriage to Frank M. Ressler of Shell Rock.
Surviving are the husband, the sons, a step-son and several grandchildren, one of whom is Mrs. Ronald Moore of Fayette."

"Among the relatives who accompanied the body of Mrs. Flora Ressler to Fayette for burial, Thursday, were her husband, Frank M. Ressler of Shell Rock, her sons, Kenneth and family of St. Paul, Minn., and Ivan and family of Minneapolis, Minn."

*** Links, URL's, for the most part will not be included henceforth on my posts, as so many of them change and then I have to come back and try to re-discover and relink. Frankly folks, I have no desire to spend my limited time here on this side of the sod with those kinds of do overs. As researchers, or just members of the internet community, sites such as Find A Grave are easy to find, some are free to use and with the information I am sharing with you, hopefully, you can duplicate the research/findings. That said, I have seen memorials at Find A Grave be removed. If you have questions, I suggest you leave a nice comment for me. OR find the method I have outlined on my blog for contacting me.
