JOHN F. CASWELL.
John F. Caswel died Saturday night
after a brief illness. He had not been
in his usual health for some months
and one week before his death he was
stricken with paralysis, and gradu-
ally sank until the end came. He
was born April 3, 1899, the son of the
late John and Hananh tSmith) Cas-
welk His mother died when he was
but few weeks old and his father
married for a second time Miss Caro-
line X Fuller who wasA indeed, a
true mother to him. His affection
for her continued all her long life and
it was his custom for years to call at
her door each morning to learn If she
was we'll. Mr.. Caswell was one of
our best known business men and
was extensively known in this sec
ton of the county where he had done
business for so many years. In 1869
he married Miss Jane Donley who
died some years ago. He was
faithful member of Table Rock lodge
of Odd Fellows, having joined the or
der in 1883. The death of Mr.. Cas-
we'll removes another of the older
class of business men from our vii
lage and he will be sadly missed by
all for he was a friend to all men.
Kind, charitable and forgiving, his
memory will live long among those
who knew him. He leaves a sister,
Mrs. Ellen Gray and brother,
Charles, of North Arson. The funer-
al was held under the auspices of
Table Rock lodge, Monday, at 2 p. m. |
Rev. Mr. HIATT of Bingham. officiating, /
