March 4, 1867 --- May 17, 1908

Akron --Died at the family home in Akron, Iowa, Sunday, May 17, 1908, Mrs. A. J. Tresler, of septicemia, aged 41 years, 2 months and 13 days. There were more than usual sad circumstances surrounding this death. She had been ill less than two weeks and her death came quite unexpectedly and with crushing force to the family. Ida Lucy Batchelder was born in Sandy Hill, Washington county, New York, March 4, 1867. With her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Batchelder, she came west to Belmond, Wright county, Iowa in February 1868. They soon moved from there to Hudson, S.D., and then located on a homestead about seven miles northwest of Akron, in Union county, S.D., where deceased grew to young womanhood. December 18, 1888, she married A. J. [Andrew Jackson] Tresler. To them were born nine children, of whom two daughters and six sons survive--Mrs. Julia Berfeind, of Stickney, S.D., Viola, Ira, Lloyd, Walter, Lee, Vintie and Merle, the baby. Besides the children and bereaved husband, there are left to mourn her untimely taking away, her aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Batchelder, of this city, three sisters and five brothers.
