Steam power was first used with separators in Johnson county about the beginning of the Civil war, but in 1864 a distressing accident drove the steam engine out of favor. In that year near the present site of New Bargersville an engine attached to a wheat separator blew up, killing Commodore Tresslar, James Utterback and a boy and seriously injuring others.
Their children were Adda F. and Everett Morton Tresslar.
His wife was Mary Eleanor Terrell Tresslar Ragsdale
Her second husband was William Ragsdale
