| Notes |
- b. Pennsylvania 7 March 1818. d. Sabbath, 11 March 1877 near Wilmot, Noble County, Indiana. Aged 59 years and 4 days. "Born in Pennsylvania but came to Ohio with his father when quite young. Remained in Stark County, Ohio, but a short time, when he, with his father's family, located in Wayne County. In 1869 became a member of the Lutheran Church. Survived by a loving wife and 4 children."
“unfortunately, most of my hair had fallen out by the time I was thirty-five, thanks to the influence of my grandfather Samuel Cassel who, according to usually reliable sources (I never met the good old man personally) was bald as an egg, a report partially substantiated by the fact that in the only daguerreotype we have of him he wore a hat. Incidentally, this hat was dilapidated, hinting that Samuel had consented to an impromptu picture-taking by some journeyman photographer met at the village tavern. Though my grandfather was dead long before the organization of Alcoholics Anonymous, he could have qualified for membership as he had quite a capacity for alcohol, and nobody could have been more anonymous.”
Samuel built a Sawmill in Noble County. When the Civil War started Samuel and John Cassel were drafted. Jennie's brother, John Cassel, died and is buried at Chattanooga. Jennie's father returned after the war, and had a drinking problem the rest of his life. [1]
