Tressler Lutheran Home for Children, Loysville, PA
Can anyone tell me about the Tressler Lutheran Home for Children?
I have the birth certificate of Nellie Mae BENNA as well as a letter from The Tressler Lutheran Home for Children of Loysville, PA certifying the birth parents of Nellie. Should I assume she was placed in the home for adoption. (??)
I'm just beginning my research on BENNA, Nellie's father:
Harry Albert BENNA married Margaret Theola Eichelburger and had a daughter Nellie Mae BENNA b 22 Aug 1906 in Cumberland, Allegany Co, Maryland.
Nellie Mae BENNA married a James BROWN and theyspent most their lives in the Saxton, Bedford Co, PA area. Nellie and James are my husband's maternal grandparents and are buried in Bedford Co, PA.
Any information on any of the above names or the Tressler Home would be much appreciated.
Thanks - Donna
