John Stephenson Casse||

Seldom has this community
been so stirred to its depths as
last week when it became known
that John Cassell had been hurt
and later that he had passed
away. He was held in high re-
gard by every one who knew
him and the sudden shock came
like a personal loss to each.
Johns quiet unassuming man
ner and confident bearing made
acquaintance easy, and his
thorough-going persistency won
respect and admiration which
his nobility of character cement
ed into lasting friendship. Old
and young alike testified to then
affection for him by performing
every kindness that love could
suggest in honor of his memory
or sharing in every possible way
the grief of the bereaved family.
John was born August second
1894 less than eighteen years
ago. Life however is not measur
ed by quantity but by the quail
ty of it's fibre. In home. school.
community and Church he
demonstrated the nobility and
attractiveness of a rugged
straightforward goodness moth
ing could weaken or overthrow.
His schooling was received in
the rural district, the Mayville
public school, one year at Long
Beach, CAL, and in the Hope
school, where he had just com.
pleted the junior year with high
est honor. Naturally apt in
studies, he was also a hard work
er and developed unusual talent
in mechanical drawing and
manual training.
At the funeral service the
pastor chose for a text Psalms
1O4:34 my meditation of him
shall be sweet, and the traits of
character that seemed to him
prominent were Industry,
Throughness, Enthusiasm and
Loyalty. And so we have laid
away the deserted body, tender.
" cherish the memory of the
Spirit which dwelt therein and
rejoice in the life's influence
that still remains with us.
