James w. Cass, a prominent bus
proudly exhibiting two family heir
looms that have just been sent to
him by an aunt. One of them is
a George Washington memorial edi-
tion of the Ulster County Gazette,
published at Kingston, Ulster COIN
ty, New York on January 4. 1900.
The other Keepsake is the Masonic
apron belonging to Mr. Cass' s grand
father.
The newspaper belonged to Mr..
Cass s grandmother on his mother S
side of the family, and was brought
across the plains in a covered
wagon, along with other cherished
family possessions, somewhere in the
early 40's. Argonauts were plenti-
full in the Cass family evidently, as
three of Mr.. Cass s grandparents
made the long, hazardous trip across
the plains, one family coming all
the way from Massachusetts, the
others from Missouri. They settled
in the regions of Stockton, Truckee
and Sacramento, and one Of the
men helped build the first capitol
building of California at Benecia,
near Stockton.
The newspaper in Mr.. Cass s pos
session is yellowed with age and re-
plete with interesting data and
quaint phrases. Evidently the old
English style of using "f" in
stead of "'s' in certain spellings
was still in use, as such words as
"session and "interests' arg
spelled ''scffion and interefts.'
The paper is heavily barred up
and down and through the columns
with half inch black slugs, in mourn
ing for the great leader who passed
away on December IA, 1899, just
three weeks prior to the date on
tho publications Glowing tribute to
Washington is paid i'll the columns
by John Adams, then president of
the United States. 1t tells of John
Marshall, the renowned jurist, pre-
senting the House of Representa-
tives with set Of resolutions, ask
ing that the speakcds chair be drap-
ed in black and that q committee
from the Senate and House concur
in considering the most suitable
manner of paying honor to the
memory of the man, first in war,
first in peace and first in the
hearts of Ills country.
