Husband's Death Soon Follows That of His Wife
Sad news comes from Armenia this
week, it being the sudden death of Mr.
and Mrs. Casper, well known residents
of that town. Their deaths were caused
by an epidemic of pneumonia in the
family which consisted of the father and
mother, two boys and one girl. All were
prostrated last week with the disease and
and two of the children are yet very sick,
one however, has about recovered.
Mrs. Ida Casper will be remembered by
the readers of the LEADER as the author
of the Thanksgiving poem which appeared
in the LEADER in our issue of Nov.
27th and which gave such pleasure to
many of our readers that it received
hundreds of favorable comments. Mrs.
Casper was 45 years of age and had lived
in Armenia for the past twelve years.
She was only sick four days when her
death occurred last Friday morning. The
funeral was held on Monday, conducted
by Rev. Taylor, the pastor of the local
church, and the remains were laid to rest
in the cemetery of that town.
Erastus Casper, the husband, who was
also prostrated with the disease, died on
Tuesday and the funeral occurred Wednesday
under the auspices of the Odd
Fellows lodge to which he belonged.
Mr. Casper had been a minister and lect-
urer, but retired from the profession
several years ago. Both husband and
wife were talented people and their tra-
gic ending will be a source of sorrow to
a large circle of friends, among which
the LEADER people wish to be numbered.
