TAKEN FROM THE PUTNAM RECORD, HENNEPIN, IL
Wednesday, February 13, 1901 Obituaries JUDGE AUGUSTUS CASSELL Judge Augustus Cassell, January 3, 1813 and February 8, 1901 are the dates by which are identified the life of Augustus Cassell. One whose long life was one of activity and usefullness. A kind and loving friend and neighbor, none knew him but to love and honor him. Augustus Cassell was born in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania January 3, 1813. Coming west in 1836 and settling in Putnam County. His wife was formerly Miss MARY BAER, to whom he was married November 14, 1833, she being also a native of Lebanon. To this union were born 9 children. John H. , William B., Sarah A., Allson K., Rufus L., Mary E., Isador, Augustus, and Sidney. Three of which the reaper death hath gathered into his fold. Both himself and wife were members of the Methodist Church. Mr. Cassell was a cabinet maker by trade and very ingenious in the use of tools. For several years, he owned and conducted a steam saw mill, and was once a mercantile business at Florid. He was elected county judge in 1872 and again in 1876 and was Justice of the Peace for 27 years. Mr. Cassell's last sickness was of but short duration, although he had been failing in health for some time. But patiently he bore it, and seemed waiting to be born by angels hands to that celestial home above, where we'll never know a sorrow when we are there. Many times during the day, he spoke of going home to Jesus. The remains were taken to Florid and placed beside those of his wife and children, Monday, February 11, at 10:00 AM.
ASLEEP IN THE ARMS OF JESUS The hallow is orr and ended, the sun gone down in the west, The loving tie is broken, The soul at rest, sweet rest. The messenger so quietly came, the reeper whose name is death. Bore him away on angels wing, To the home above so pure and blest. A hollow of joy spread orr his soul, as he welcomed the heavenly host. Friends and relatives there to meet, Oh the half can never be told. We'll miss thee greatly, miss thee, as on through life we go. May our lives be just and pure and blest, And waves of sorrow eternally flow. To say I will met but mean it must say fairwell, as one dear ones fall asleep. asleep to wake with Jesus, Never more to wail and weep. This my prayer through life shall be, last, let hopes bright light forever shine, That wear this way of life is orr, In that fair climb. Peoria Cassell

Mrs. Augustus Cassell
The last sad rites of the living to the dead were paid the venerable WIFE OF JUDGE AUGUSTUS CASSELL, at Cottage Hill, on Saturday. She departed this life on Thursday. She had been an invalid for upwards of five years. In the year 1880 she was stricken with paralysis, which no doubt shortened and ended her life. MARY BAER was born in Dauphin County, PA., Feb. 3, 1813; married to Mr. Cassell at Harrisburg, Pa., in 1833, having lived 52 years happily with her aged husband; nine children were born, seven surviving their stricken parent. Their residence in Putnam county dates back to 1836 - 49 years. Naturally of a thoughtful and religious mold of mind, Mrs. Cassell united with the church in early life, first the Lutheran, and afterwards the Wesleyian Methodists. Exemplary in all her ways, kindly and generous in her impulses and offices, an excellent wife and mother, a noble hearted, Christian woman has completed life work, and in the triumphs of a living faith, has gone home to everlasting rest. Sweet peace.

May 1919
David Albert, aged about 80 years died in Macon county hospital Friday. The old man came to the county farm 12 or so months ago. The weight of four score years and the added handicap perhaps of unwise judgment bore heavily upon him. Of his relatives, if any were living, he said nothing. Wednesday, he was removed from the county farm to the hospital, where his death occurred.
