On July 5th Mr. Cassell was picking cherries and in some unknown way fell from the barrel, which he was standing, on injuring his knee seriously. He was taken to the Streator hospital, where it required 30 stitches to close the wound. After the operation the knee healed nicely and he was taken to his home on Friday.

Cassell was the son of August and Ellen Cassell (Murphy) was born at Florid, December 13, 1869, being at the time of his death, 55 years and 7 months old. In the year 1898 at Decatur, he was united in marriage to Miss Jossie Redman and this union was blessed by one son, who with the bereaved wife, are left to mourn his untimely death.
