WE  DEDICATE  THIS  WORK 

First. — To  the  memory  of  our  ancestors,  who  bequeathed  to  us  the  glorious 
privilege  of  religious  liberty,  and  set  us  examples  of  blameless  exemplary  lives. 

Second. — To  our  parents,  who  taught  us  to  price  this  inheritance  as  a  price- 
less boon  direct  from  the  hand  of  God. 

Third. — To  our  children,  whom  we  adjure  to  cherish  their  inestimable 
privileges,  and  keep  unsullied  the  family  name. 

Fourth. — To  our  posterity:  May  they  emulate  the  worthy  example  of  the 
"Good  and  True,"  who  have  preceded  them,  and  honor  God  and  obey  his 
Commandments. 


INTRODUCTION. 


Here  and  there  along  the  line  of  two  centuries  individual 
members  of  the  Cassel  family  have  gathered  stray  items  of 
family  history,  and,  in  many  instances,  dates  and  names  have 
been  preserved  ;  but  until  the  author  of  this  little  volume  be- 
gan his  research,  no  one  had  collected  all  of  the  scraps  of  his- 
tory regarding  Julius  or  Yelles  Kassel  and  his  family  which 
are  found  herein. 

That  these  facts  might  not  be  wholly  lost,  the  author  has 
collected  from  many  sources  all  the  information  obtainable  re- 
garding these  worthy  ancestors  of  our  family,  from  whom  came 
some  of  the  first  settlers  of  Germantown — an  humble  Men- 
nonite  preacher  at  Kriesheim,  in  the  Palatinate  (Pfalz),  named 
Yelles  Kassel,  who  died  in  1 68 1,  from  whom  are  descended 
the  three  brothers,  who  came  and  settled  in  the  untrodden 
wilds  of  America,  pursuing  the  even  tenor  of  a  modest  and 
uneventful  life. 

Being  a  lineal  descendant  of  Hupert  Cassel,  who  was  a 
grandson  of  Julius  or  Yelles,  the  author's  interest  has  been 
particularly  attracted  to  him,  and  there  is  presented  herewith 
the  names  of  the  descendants  of  Hupert  Cassel  for  six  gener 
ations,  more  than  three  thousand  in  all,  mostly  "plain  folk," 
but,  as  a  rule,  thrifty,  intelligent  and  honorable  people,  a  nat- 
ural and  creditable  outgrowth  of  the  sturdy  German  ancestry 

from  which  they  came.

ENDORSEMENT. 


I  have  examined  the  manuscript  of  Mr.  Cassel's  work, 
and  am  entirely  pleased  with  it.  I  am  astonished  at  the 
amount  of  information  it  contains,  and  also  at  the  herculean 
labor  he  bestowed  upon  it.  For  besides  ransacking  every 
available  source  of  information,  he  wrote  scores  of  letters  of 
inquiry,  and  traveled  hundreds  of  miles  in  quest  of  more 
complete  information.  Therefore  I  do  not  hesitate  to  say 
that  it  is  as  perfect  and  as  complete  as  it  could  possibly  be 
made  at  this  distant  date.

PREFACE. 


Several  years  ago  genealogical  collections  had  been  made 
by  Samuel  K.  Cassel,  of  Blooming  Glen,  Bucks  county,  Pa., 
with  the  intention  of  having  it  printed.  On  account  of  ill 
health,  however,  and  inability  to  write  during  his  sickness,  he 
gave  all  papers  and  documents  relating  thereto  into  the  hands 
of  his  brother,  Daniel  K.  Cassel,  at  Germantown,  before  his 
death,  with  a  desire  to  have  it  completed  for  our  own  satisfac- 
tion and  also  for  future  reference.  Consequently  the  original 
has  been  rewritten  and  enlarged,  much  information  collected 
and  added  thereto,  and  arranged  in  proper  form,  so  as  to  bring 
family  connections  in  proper  order.  Care  was  taken  to  gather 
reliable  information,  and  that  of  a  doubtful  character  was  not 
accepted. 

Notwithstanding,  errors  will  be  found,  because  of  incor- 
rect information.  Whenever  a occurs  the  necessary  in- 
formation could  not  be  ascertained.  There  is  also  added 
much  historical  matter  as  far  as  it  could  be  collected,  which 
will  make  the  work  more  interesting  ;  also,  much  biographi- 
cal matter  was  collected  and  added  thereto.  Those  yet  liv- 
ing were  requested  to  write  out  their  own  biography  them- 
selves, in  order  to  have  nothing  written  that  would  be  to 
them  objectionable.  I  have  also,  for  convenience's  sake, 
added  three  columns  of  figures  on  the  left-hand  margin  01 
each  page.  The  first  column  indicates  the  generation,  com- 
mencing with  Hupert  Cassel,  the  first  of  the  family  who  came 
to  America  in  171 5  or  1720.  The  second  column  indicates 
the  individual  number  of  each  name  continually  to  avoid  con- 
fusion, where  the  same  name  occurs  repeatedly.  The  third 
column  indicates  the  number  of  children  in  each  family. 
Hoping  that  this  work  will  be  appreciated  by  the  members  of 
the  Cassel  families  throughout,  and  all  honor  be  given  to  the 
Lord,  the  "  Genealogy"  is  now  respectfully  submitted  to  the 
public.

FIRST  IMPULSE  OR  MOTIVE  OF  THE  CASSELS 
EMIGRATING  TO  AMERICA. 


William  Penn  made  his  first  visit  through  Germany  in 
1 67 1  as  a  missionary,  and  only  followed  the  example  of  his 
brethren  in  faith  and  stopped  at  Emden,  Crefeld  and  West- 
phalia. 

His  second  visit  he  made  in  the  year  1677,  in  the  thirty- 
third  year  of  his  age,  and  not  yet  known  as  the  founder  of 
Pennsylvania.  Four  years  later,  it  appears,  he  made  a  third 
trip  ;  and  from  the  city  of  Cassel  he  gave  notice  of  a  meeting 
he  proposed  to  hold  at  Frankfort.  From  Frankfort  he  went 
to  Kriesheim,  where  he  arrived  August  23,  168 1,  and  intended 
to  preach.  A  meeting  had  been  previously  announced  for 
that  purpose,  but  upon  the  urgent  request  of  a  Calvinist  minis- 
ter, all  preaching  was  forbidden  by  the  bailiff's  deputy.  How- 
ever, a  silent  meeting  was  held,  in  which  all  took  part ;  also, 
those  from  Worms,  who  followed  them  in  a  wagon.  Penn, 
however,  got  permission  from  Count  Karl  Ludwig  to  preach 
again.  Consequently,  on  Sunday,  August  26th,  Penn  traveled 
on  foot  from  Worms  to  Kriesheim,  a  distance  of  six  miles,  and 
preached  to  the  people  of  Kriesheim  in  a  barn.  Count  Lud- 
wig quietly  entered  the  barn  and  stood  behind  a  door  listen- 
ing, but  Penn  did  not  know  it.  Ludwig  afterwards  reported 
to  the  Calvinist  minister  that  nothing  of  a  heretical  nature 
occurred,  but,  on  the  contrary,  all  that  he  heard  was  actually 
very  good.  Penn  preached  in  the  German  language,  which 
he  had  learned  from  his  mother,  she  being  a  Dutch  woman 
from  Rotterdam.  During  his  discourse  he  pictured  the  then 
raging  persecutions  of  the  non-.resistant  Christians  ;  how  they 
were  denied  the  right  to  worship  God  according  to  the  die- 


14  CASSEL   FAMILY. 

tates  of  their  conscience,  and  how  they  were  driven  from  one 
place  to  another  and  their  property  confiscated. 

He  further  explained  their  principles  of  faith  regarding 
swearing  an  oath,  and  waging  war,  and  of  revenge,  which 
corresponded  very  nearly  with  that  of  the  Mennonites,  and 
gave  great  satisfaction  to  those  present.  Among  them  were 
Heinrich  Cassel,  Johannes  Cassel  and  Yillis  or  Julius  Cassel, 
members  of  the  Mennonite  church,  who  were  so  well  pleased 
with  his  remarks  that,  as  soon  as  the  meeting  closed,  they 
took  him  by  the  hand  and  embraced  him  as  a  brother  in  the 
faith,  and  invited  him  to  go  with  them,  which  he  did.  They 
then  had  a  long  consultation  about  matters  of  religion.  He 
told  them  that  he  had  a  large  tract  of  land  in  America,  which 
had  been  granted  to  him  by  King  Charles  II,  March  4,  1681, 
and  made  it  free  by  purchase,  to  enable  the  conscientiously 
scrupulous  to  settle  and  enjoy  their  religious  opinions  with- 
out restraint.  Thus  by  promising  them  perfect  freedom  and 
liberty  to  worship  God  according  to  the  dictates  of  their  con- 
science, was  given  the  first  impulse  or  motive  of  the  Cassels 
emigrating  to  America. 

CASSEL  FAMILY. 

The  first  family  of  Cassels  that  emigrated  to  this  country, 
came  from  Kriesheim,  in  the  Palatinate,  in  the  year  1686,  No- 
vember 20,  in  the  ship  "  Jefries,"  and  settled  at  Germantown, 
near  Philadelphia,  then  a  small  town  ;  at  this  place  the  Menno- 
nites, of  which  the  Cassel  family  were  members,  had  a  church 
and  regular  preaching.  An  incident  occurred  about  this  period 
going  to  show,  in  a  very  striking  manner,  the  simplicity  of 
the  church  at  this  time.  A  letter  came  from  Europe  to  the 
Cassels  that  a  large  legacy  was  left  them  by  the  death  of  a 
relative  amounting  to  nearly  a  million  of  dollars,  and  that 
they  should  send  out  and  get  the  treasure.  A  church  council 
was  called,  and  the  matter  freely  discussed,  when  it  was  de- 
cided by  a  unanimous  vote  ruot  to  receive  the  money,  as  it 
would   have  a  tendency  to  make  them  proud.     Simplicity  of

manner,  plainness  of  dress,  frugality,  honesty  and  economy, 
were  some  of  the  characteristics  of  this  people. — Harris  Bio- 
graphical History  of  Lancaster. 

Yelles  or  Julius  Cassel  was  a  native  of  the  Palatinate, 
Pfalz.  He  suffered  considerably  on  account  of  his  religion, 
during  the  Thirty  Years  War.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Men- 
nonite  Society,  and  a  minister ;  he  had  to  flee  from  one 
country  to  another,  during  which  time  he  wrote  a  number  of 
German  poems  in  accordance  with  the  circumstances,  some 
of  which  have  been  brought  over  by  his  descendants,  and  are 
now  in  the  hands  of  Abraham  H.  Cassel,  of  Harleysville, 
Montgomery  county,  Pa.  He  was  born  before  1618,  and 
died  about  1681.  For  his  poems,  sec  History  of  the  Mennon- 
ites,  German  Edition,  by  D.  K.  Cassel,  1890,  in  German  type. 
They  will  also  be  given  to  the  reader  of  this  little  volume,  as 
follows: 


OUR  ANCESTOR. 


LAMENTATIONS  ON  THE  SICK-PED. 


Written  about  the  year  1664  by.  Julius  Kassel,  a  Mennon- 
ite  minister  at  Kriesheim,  in  the  Palatinate,  during  a  long  sick- 
ness of  eighteen  years. 

Prepared  for  publication  by  Daniel  K.  Cassel,  by  first 
obtaining  the  consent  of  the  undersigned,  in  whose  possession 
we  can  find  the  original,  who  writes  as  follows  : 

Harleysville,  Pa.,  Sep".  11,  1890. 

The  following   sentences   and  poems,  whicl    are         my 
possession  in  the  original,  were  written  by  my  d 
Yelles  Kassel,  a  renowned  preacher  of  the  Mention*. e  c 
nation  in   Kriesheim,  in  the   Palatinate,  at  various  tin 
places  during  the  Thirty  Years  War,  as  he,  with  his 
had  to  flee  from  one  place  to  another  in  order  to  save 
lives.     After  the  war  was  closed,  and  they  again  came  ho. 
he  collected   all   his   manuscripts   together  and   wrote  the 
nicely  in  a  book  dated  the  28th  of  November,  1665.     In  late 
years  he  also  wrote  a  treatise  on  the  Christian  belief,  on  bap 
tism,  sacrament,  and  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Mennonite 
congregation,  which  are  also  in  the  original  in  my  possession, 
and  bear  the  date  Anno  1681.     He  died  at  an  advanced  age, 
before  the  latter  was  fully  completed.       Abram  H.  Cassel. 

The  following  sentences  and  poems  were  written  by  me 
during  my  sickness,  as  also  during  the  time  of  war  and  its 
dangers,  with  sincerity,  as  spoken  before  God,  wherein  is  ex- 
pressed my  sincerest  desire  and  wish  ;  also,  upon  what  ground 
my  consolation  and  hope  is  founded.  Should  anyone  have  a 
desire  to  read,  and  thereby  be  brought  to  light  and  thinking, 
it  would  be  gratifying  to  me,  because  I  do  not  know  of  any- 
thing better  than  to  strive  for  mine  and  all  men's  salvation. 
God  may  add  his  blessing  is  my  prayer.      Yelliso  Kasel.

He  further  says  the  following:  "  On  the  first  day  of  Jan- 
uary, 1667,  the  following  were  read  again,  with  much  bodily 
pain  and  suffering,  with  a  desire  that  the  sufferings  in  this 
world  will  soon  be  over."       ,  Y.  K. 

POEM  No.   1. 

Ach  Herr !  Dir  sind  aller  Herzen  Gedanken  bekannt, 

Mein  Seel'  und  Leib  befehle  ich  in  deine  Hand, 

Du  wollest  mich  ansehen  mit  deiner  Gnaden, 

So  sollt'  es  mit  mir  wohl  gerathen, 

Du  hast  mich  mit  Krankheit  heimgesucht, 

Welches  ist  eine  Ruthe  deiner  zucht, 

Darin  gib  mir  Leidsamkeit  und  geduld, 

Verzeihe  alle  meine  Siind  und  Schuld, 

Lasz  mich  an  deiner  Gnade  nicht  verzagen, 

Lege  nicht  Schwerer  auf,  als  ich  kann  ertragen, 

Hilf  mir  zu  einem  Seligen  End, 

Und  alles  mit  mir  zum  Besten  wend, 

Sollt  ich  noch  langer  auszerdem  leben, 

n      du  mir  wohl  wieder  Gesundheit  geben, 
h  aber  an  dieser  Krankheit  sterben, 
iHlasz  mich  bei  dir  Gnade  erwerben, 
1  weisz  mir  Sonsten  nichts  zu  erwahlen, 
bch  eins  wollt  ich  wohl  gern  erzahlen ; 

Weib  und  Kind  und  andere  Leut  mehr, 

Sind  mir  angelegen  sehr, 

Was  denen  dienen  mocht  zum  Besten, 

Und  mir  zur  Seligheit  zum  Letzten, 

Es  sei  bald  zu  sterben  oder  noch  zu  leben, 

Das  wollst  du  mir  aus  Gnaden  geben, 

Dasz  ich  ewig  preisen  mochte  deinen  Namen, 

Mit  alien  Frommen  durch  Jesum  Christum.     Amen. 

Ach,  Herr  Gott !  wollest  mich  doch  bewahren, 

In  dieser  Kriegsnoth  und  gefahren, 

Auf  dasz  die  bosen  Menschen, 

Nach  ihrem  Willen  und  Wunschen, 

Mit  mir  nicht  umgehen  ; 

Zeig  mir  ein  Ort  dahin  ich  fliehen, 

Da  ich  mag  sein  vor  ihnen  verborgen, 

Erlost  aus  solcher  Angst  und  Sorgen, 

Mein  Weib  und  Kinder  desgleichen, 

Dasz  sie  ihnen  mogen  entweichen, 


I  8  CASSEL  FAMILY. 

Nicht  kommen  unter  ihre  Hand, 

Von  ihnen  nicht  werden  geschandt, 

Desgleichen  all  meine  lieben  Freunde, 

Lasz  auch  Gnad  bei  dir  finden, 

Bewahre  sie  vor  allem  Bosen, 

Und  thue  sie  von  allem  Uebel  erlosen, 

Nimm  uns  alle  in  dein  Schirm  und  Hut, 

Unsere  Siinden  verzeih  durch  Christus  Blut, 

Wir  haben  die  Straf  wohl  verdient, 

Du  hast  uns  Fried  und  Freiheit  verlehnt, 

Das  haben  wir  zu  klein  geacht, 

Die  Seligheit  nicht  genug  betracht, 

Zeitlich  Gut  haben  wir  gesucht, 

Zu  viel  gelebt  nach  Fleisches  genugt. 

In  vielen  Dingen  gleich  der  Welt, 

Dieses  ist  mit  der  Posaune  oft  gemeldt, 

Wenig  aber  ist  es  genommen  an, 

Man  ist  in  der  Sunde  fortgegahn, 

Also  haben  wir  uns  verlaufen, 

Ietzt  kommen  die  Strafen  mit  Haufen, 

Nun  wissen  wir  kein  andern  Rath, 

Als  zu  bitten  Gnad  um  Gnad, 

Du  wollest  mit  Gnaden  drein  sehen, 

Wie  zu  Davids  Zeiten  ist  geschehen, 

Erbarm  dich  der  kleinen  Kind, 

Auch  derer,  die  in  Krankheit  sind, 

Wie  auch  der  alten  und  Schwachen, 

Denen  wollst  eine  Errettung  machen, 

Vor  allem  ist  noch  mein  Begehren, 

Dasz  wir  das  Allerbest  nicht  verlieren  ; 

Hilf  uns  zu  einem  Sel'gen  End, 

Und  alles  mit  uns  zum  Besten  wend, 

(Als  wir  bald  muszten  ausfluchten  in  Worms), 

O  lieber  Gott  und  Herr, 

Dir  Sei  Lob,  Preis  und  Ehr ! 

Fur  dein'  Gnad'  und  Barmherzigkeit, 

Die  du  mir  bewiesen  dieser  zeit, 

Hast  mich  vor  den  bosen  Menschen  bewahrt, 

Wie  ich  hab  herzlich  von  dir  begehrt ; 

Du  hast  mich  den  rechten  Weg  gefuhrt, 

Dasz  ich  bin  gekommen  an  ein  Ort,

Bis  ich  bin  kommcn  zur  Stadt  hinein, 

Da  andere  Leut  umher, 

Sind  geraubt  und  gepliindert  sehr, 

Ich  hab  auch  gefunden  ein'  Ort  zur  Ruh 

Bei  Leuten,  die  mir  bewiesen  Lieb  und  Treu, 

Dieses  alles  nehm  ich  an  von  Gottes  Hand, 

Der  seine  Gnad  zu  mir  hat  gewandt, 

Ihm  sei  Lob,  Preis  in  Ewigkeit, 

Fur  seine  Gnad  und  Barmherzigkeit ; 

Der  wolle  forthin  Alles  zum  Besten  wenden, 

Dasz  ich  moge  meinen  Lauf  vollenden, 

In  einem  Sel'gen  End  und  Abscheid 

Allein  durch  Gottes  Barmherzigkeit 

Mein  Krankheit  und  Schmerzen 

1st  oft  gar  nah  bei  meinem  Herzen 

Dasz  es  wohl  kount  Geschehen, 

Ohn  lang  Verziehen, 

Dass  es  mich  also  that  iiberfallen, 

Dass  ich  nicht  viel  konnt  retten  oder  lallen, 

So  wolle  mir  Gott  Gnadig  sein, 

Und  verkiirzen  mir  des  Todes  Pein, 

Und  Geben  mir  Geduld  im  Leiden, 

Biss  Leib  und  Seele  von  einander  Scheiden, 

So  nimm  mein  Seel  in  deine  Hand, 

Aus  Gnaden  Alles  zum  Besten  wend  ; 

Mein  Weib  und  Kind  befehl  ich  dir 

Erhalte  sie  bei  deinem  Wort  und  Lehr, 

Getreu  zu  sein  bis  in  den  Tod, 

Stehe  ihnen  bei  in  aller  Noth, 

Gieb,  dass  sie  leben  Statiglich, 

In  deiner  Furcht  fleissiglich, 

Und  Ziehen  ihre  Kinder  in  der  Zucht, 

Und  lehren  sie  zur  Gottesfurcht ; 

Auf  dass  wir  endlich  Allzugleich, 

Versammeln  uns  im  Himmelreich, 

Wozu  ich  doch  unwiirdig  bin, 

Doch  bilde  ich  mir  festlich  ein. 

Gott  werd  mich  nicht  verstossen  gar, 

In's  Teufelsreich  mit  solcher  Schaar, 

Die  jetzt  im  land  mit  Raub  und  Mord, 

Viel  leut  verderben  an  manchen  Ort, 

Und  nicht  einmal  gedenken  dran, 

Wie  sie  mogen  vor  Gott  bestahn,t

Die  ich  so  oftmals  hab  gethan,

Gott  anzurufen  durch  Jesum  Christ. 

Dasz  er  mir  wolle  gnadig  sein, 

Allein  durch's  bitter  Leiden  sein, 

Das  ist  mein  Hoffhung  und  mein  Trost, 

Durch  Christus  Blut  zu  sein  erlost, 

Mein  Frommigkeit  ist  viel  zu  klein, 

Dasz  ich  dadurch  bei  Gott  allein,

Ach  nein  ;  Ach  nein,  das  thu  ich  nicht, 

Denn  mir  an  dem  noch  viel  gebricht, 

Was  ich  zu  thun  wohl  Schuldig  war, 

Darum  bitte  ich  0,  lieber  Herr, 

Verzeih  mir  alle  mein  Siind  und  Schuld, 

Und  wend  zu  mir  dein  Gnad  und  Huld, 

Nimm  mich  hinweg  von  dieser  Welt, 

Zu  rechter  Zeit,  wenn's  dir  gefallt, 

Hilf  mir  zu  einem  Selgen  End,

Und  lass  mein  Seel  in  Ewigkeit,

POEM  No.  2. 

Hort  zu,  was  ich  euch  sagen  will, 

Was  sich  hat  zugetragen  schnell, 

Beim  Konig  David  auserwahlt, 

Als  er  das  Volk  hatte  gezahlt, 

Wurden  ihm  drei  Strafen  vorgelegt, 

Wie  denn  der  Prophet  zu  ihm  sagt, 

Darunter  er  erwahlen  sollt, 

Welche  er  davon  haben  wollt, 

Krieer,  Pestilenz  und  diirre  Zeit. 

Das  bracht  den  Konig  in  Herzenleid, 

Er  Sprach  :   "  Ich  bin  in  Aengsten  Sehr, 

In  Menschen  Hand  ich  nicht  begehr, 

In  Gottes  hand  ich  fallen  will, 

Sein  Gnad  is  gross,  ohne  Maas  und  Ziel, 

Ein  Engel  zwischen  Himmel  und  Erd. 

Mit  Einem  ausgezognen  Schwerdt, 

Schlug  Pestilentz,  iiber  Israel, 

Dasz  Siebenzig  Tausend  Starben  Schnell, 

Da  Sahe  Gott  im  verderben  darein, 

Und  nahm  die  Straf  bald  wieder  hin, 

Er  sprach  zum  Engel  er  sollt  ablahn, 

Mit  Pestilenz  nicht  mehr  zu  schlan, 

Nun  diese  Geschicht  hab  ich  bedacht 

Und  aftermals  davon  gesagt, 

Dasz  ich  verhofft  es  werde  zugehen, 

Wie  bei  David's  Zeiten  sei  geschehen ; 

Welches  nun  also  ergangen  ist, 

Dasz  es  damit  hat  ein  Gleichnisz, 

Denn  es  ist  bekannt  und  offenbar. 

\\Tas  Iammer  Elend  und  Gefahr, 

Gewesen  ist  umher  im  land 

Mit  Rauben,  Pliindern,  Mord  und  Brand, 

Manch  Mensch  gebracht  in  Angst  .und  Noth. 

Geshandeliert  auch  bis  zum  Tod  ; 

Zerschlagen,  Verhauen,  manch  schones  Haus, 

Vielen  Leuten  die  Kleider  gezogen  aus : 

Getreid  und  Vieh  hinweggefiihrt, 

Viel  Iammer  und  Klag  hat  man  gehort, 


22  CASSEL   FAMILY. 

Die  Fasser  zerschlagen,  den  Wein  verstiirzt, 

Also  clen  leuten  ihre  Nahrung  verkiirzt, 

Als  dies  eine  Zeitlantj  hat  gewahrt, 

Hat  Gott  seine  Gnad  zu  uns  gekehrt, 

Und  hat  die  straf  wieder  umgewandt, 

Dasz  wir  wieder  Luft  bekommen  hant, 

Wenn  es  nun  dabei  verbleiben  mocht, 

So  weis  ich  nicht,  wie  wir  efenagt 

Gott  sollen  danken  herzlich  sehr, 

Dasz  er  uns  nicht  hat  geschlagen  mehr, 

Aber  die  das  Elend  troffen  hat. 

Die  haben  gelitten  Groszen  Schad  : 

Wie  auch  zu  David's  Zeiten  geschah, 

Bedenk  was  Iammer  und  grosze  Klasr. 

1st  da  gewesen  bei  lung  und  Alt, 

Bis  man  Siebenzig  Tausend  Tode  zahlt 

So  laszt  uns  nun  als  Kinder  fein, 

Die  von  dem  Vater  geziichtigt  sein, 

Uns  begeben  zur  Gehorsamkeit, 

Und  nicht  durch  Widespensdigkeit 

Des  Vaters  Zorn  erwecken  sehr. 

Dasz  er  nicht  giebenfaltig  mehr, 

Uns  straft,  wie  er  hat  zugesagt 

Wenn  man  die  Zuchtigung  nicht  acht, 

Darum  laszt  uns  bedenken  wohl, 

Wie  sich  ein  Ieder  halten  soil, 

Laszt  uns  nicht  betriiben  allzusehr, 

Wenn  schon  der  Schad  noch  grosser  war, 

Es  ist  doch  all  verganglich  Gut, 

Das  zur  Seligkeit  nicht  helfen  thut. 

Das  laszt  uns  nehmen  in  denn  sinn, 

Und  achten  Schaden  fur  gewinn, 

Und  laszt  uns  Suchen  allzugleich. 

Zu  sammeln  den  Schatz  im  Himmelreich, 

Den  Rost  und  Schaben  verzehren  nicht, 

Wie  Christus  selber  davon  spricht, 

Hierzu  gebe  uns  Gott  seine  Gnad, 

Dasz  wir  es  betrachten  friih  und  spat, 

So  lang  als  wir  das  leben  hant, 

Wie  lang  es  wahrt,  ist  Gott  bekannt, 

Mein,  Krankheit  qnalt  mich  Tag  und  nacht, 

Mit  Pein  und  Schmerzen  ist  dies  bedacht, 

Und  ist  also  mein  Zeitvertreib.

POEM  No.  3. 


Hort  zu,  was  will  ich  euch  sagen, 

Wie  es  sich  hat  zugetragen, 

Was  ich  hab  gesehen  und  gehort, 

Diesen  Grund,  nicht  die  ausserlichen  Wort. 

Es  war  ein  Konig  und  Herr, 

Der  hatte  grossen  Reichthum  und  Ehr. 

Nun  begab  es  sich  auf  eine  Zeit, 

Dasz  er  ein  Mahl  hat  zubereit. 

Viel  Menschen  darzu  geladen 

Niemand  that  er  verschmaden 

Er  hatte  ein  kostlich  Kleinod  rein. 

Besser  denn  Gold,  Silber  und  Edelgestein, 

Auf  einen  Berg  that  er  es  hangen, 

Dasz  ein  Ieder  mit  verlangen, 

Und  allem  Fleisz  darnach  sollt  laufen. 

Da  kamen  die  Leut  mit  groszen  Hauffen, 

Vermeinten  das  Kleinod  zu  erlangen. 

Eh  sie  den  Weg  hatten  gegangen, 

Welches  ihnen  nicht  mocht  gehoren  ; 

Denn  der  Konig  liesz  seine  Stimm  horen  ; 

Niemand  mag  dies  Kleinod  empfangen 

Er  hab  denn  vorhin  den  Weg  gegangen, 

Und  sei  auf  den  Berg  gestiegen  recht, 

Und  wandle  als  ein  treuer  Knecht, 

Und  thut  darinen  wohl  herden, 

Dem  wird  das  Kleinod  werden. 

Wer  aber  thut  umsehen. 

Still  stehen  ;  oder  hinter  sich  gehen, 

Der  verliert  nicht  allein  die  Kron, 

Sondern  wird  auch  grosze  Strafen  haben  zum  Lohn, 

Darum  laszt  es  euch  gehen  zu  Herzen, 

Das  rath  ich  euch  ohn'  alles  Scherzen  ; 

Steiget  hinauf  bei  guter  Zeit. 


24  CASSEL  FAMILY. 

Dasz  es  euch  nicht  werde  herzlich  leid. 

Als  nun  etliche  waren, 

Diese  Stimme  thaten  horen. 

Machten  sie  sich  herbei, 

Um  nach  dem  Kleinod  zu  laufen  frci. 

Sie  vertheilten  sich  um  den  Berg, 

Etliche  stiegen  auf  uberzwerg. 

Wo  sie  nun  fanden  ein  Weglein  klein. 

Stiegen  sie  auf  fur  sich  allein, 

Sie  stiegen  nach  des  Berges  Hoheit, 

Wissen  wohl,  dass  das  Kleinod  daraufsteht. 

Es  war  auch  ihr  Begehren, 

Dasz  keiner  sich  wollt  beschweren, 

Mit  ihnen  zu  gehen, 

Denn  sie  wollten  nicht  verzehen. 

Nach  dem  Kleinod  zu  Streben, 

Kost  es  ihnen  schon  Leib  und  Leben, 

Es  war  aber  auch  eine  gebahnte  Strasze 

Die  leitel  auch  auf  den  Berg  dermaszen. 

Dasz  wer  darauf  wandelt  mit  Fleisz. 

Erlangt  auch  die  Kron  und  den  Preisz. 

Darauf  wollten  Etliche  bleiben 

Kost  es  ihnen  schon  auch  Leib  und  Leben. 

Denen  that  es  sehr  verdrieszen. 

Dasz  die  Anderen  diese  Strasze  verlieszen, 

Und  wollten's  nun  besser  wissen. 

Als  die,  so  sich  vorhin  hatten  beflissen, 

Diese  strasz  und  Bahn  also  zu  machen. 

Dasz  man  also  zum  Kleinod  mochte  gerachen. 

Sie  sagten  und  gaben  fur 

Diese  gingen  in  der  Wiisten  irr, 

Es  erhoben  sich  grosze  Klachten 

Fingen  an  einander  zu  Schmahen  und  verachten. 

Und  thaten  gegen  einander  streiten. 

Wie  die  Medianiten  vorzeiten. 

Welche  Schwerter  und  Spieszen. 

Sie  sich  nicht  sollten  lassen  verdrieszen 

In  Pflugschaaren  und  Rebmesser  zu  machen. 

Und  nicht  um  Solche  Sachen, 

Sich  Spalten  und  Scheiden. 

Dadurch  der  nam  Gottes  unter  den  Heiden 

Kann  geschmaht  und  verlastert  werden, 

Denn  viel  Menschen  auf  Erden. 

Wissen  davon  zu  Sagen, 


CASSEL  FAMILY.  25 

Dasz  sie  einander  in  der  Liebe  sollen  vcrtragen. 

Diewiel  sie  doch  zu  beiden  Seiten, 

Den  Weg  zum  Kleinod  suchen  zu  betreten. 

Also  gehen  sie  nun  verscheiden, 

Wie  zwo  Herden  auf  einer  Weiden, 

Wer  will  nun  sprechen  das  Recht. 

Uber  diese  zwei  Geschlecht, 

Ich  kann  noch  nicht  anders  melden, 

A  Is  sie  waren  wohl  beide  zu  beschelten, 

Ich  verhoffe,  sie  werden  sich  bedenken, 

Und  nicht  mehr  einander  kranken, 

Sondern  suchen,  wiederum  zu  bauen, 

Was  zerbrochen  ist  durch  Miszvertrauen, 

Und  einander  in  der  liebe  vertragen. 

Wie  der  Apostel  Paulus  thut  sagen, 

Auf  dasz,  wenn  sie  zum  Kleinod  kommen. 

Dasz  sie  dann  mit  alien  Frommen, 

Erlangen  das  ewige  Leben, 

Das  wolle  Gott  ihnen  und  mir  aus  Gnaden  geben, 

Hiermit  habe  dies  Gedicht  ein  End. 

Gott  der  alle  Herzen  kennt, 

Der  weisz,  dasz  es  mir  ist  leid, 

Dasz  es  also  zwischen  beiden  Steht. 

Doch  will  ich  noch  verhoffen, 

Ist  nicht  in  Allem  die  Masz  getroffen, 

Das  werden  sie  einander  vergeben, 

Und  wiederum  in  Frieden  suchdn  zu  leben. 

Zu  Lob  des  Herren  Namen. 

Hiermit  endige  ich  und  sage  :     Amen. 

Der  dieses  hat  Geschrieben  ; 

Sein  Nam  ist  unvermeldet  blieben,

Und  wollt  gern  Sehen  der  Gemeinden  Wohlstand.

Denn  es  steht  Alles  in  seinen  Handen.

THE    THREE    COMETS. 

(Observed  by  Yelles  Kassel.) 


Anno  1644,  the  latter  part  of  the  year,  was  the  first  star 
visible.     In  the  morning,  before  day,  towards  the  south. 

In  the  beginning  of  the  year  1665  the  second  star  was 
seen,  in  the  evening,  high  in  the  air,  somewhat  dark.  Some 
were  of  the  opinion  that  it  was  the  first ;  others  thought  it 
was  a  different  one. 

The  third  star  was  seen  in  the  latter  part  of  March,  1665, 
and  the  beginning  of  April,  in  the  morning,  before  day,  in  the 
east,  very  bright,  with  a  very  long  tail. 

These  three  stars  or  comets  were  visible  within  the  space 
of  a  quarter  of  a  year.  I  am  concerned  about  their  signifi- 
cation.    Many  may  learn  it  to  their  own  sorrow. 

I  also  saw  the  great  comet  in  the  year  16 18,  and  soon 
after  that  the  great  misery  and  affliction  in  Germany  com- 
menced, as  many  may  yet  know. 

God  warns  from  time  to  time,  if  man  will  turn  not  he 
will  whet  his  sword  ;  he  hath  bent  his  bow  and  made  it  ready. 
Psalm  7. 

The  rod  is  shown  to  the  wicked.  If  they  refuse  to  obey 
the  Lord,  they  will  be  punished.  God  will  be  merciful,  even 
as  in  the  time  of  David.     I  Chronicles  21.

Edward  Drinker,  born  December  24,  1680,  in  the  cot- 
tage near  the  corner  of  Second  and  Walnut  streets,  which  was 
the  real  primitive  house  of  Philadelphia ;  he  died  on  Novem- 
ber 17,  1782,  aged  102  years. 

The  father  of  the  celebrated  aged  Edward  Drinker 
had  settled  there  some  years  before  Penn's  colonists  came, 
and  Edward  himself  was  born  there  two  years  before  that 
time.  He  lived  till  after  the  War  of  Independence,  and  used 
often  to  delight  himself  in  referring  to  localities  where  Swedes 
and  Indians  occasionally  hutted  at  their  first  landing. 

When  Dr.  Franklin  was  questioned  in  England  as  to  what 
age  we  lived  in  this  country,  he  wittily  said  he  could  not  tell 
until  Drinker  should  die  and  settle  it. 

Drinker's  parents  came  from  Beverly,  Mass.,  and  settled 
on  the  site  of  Philadelphia  before  Penn  came.  He  had  all  his 
eighteen  children  by  his  first  wife,  having  had  four  wives  in  all. 
He  was  never  sick,  and  always  cheerful. 

One  of  these  eighteen  children,  named  Edward  Drinker, 
married  Susanna  Cassel,  a  daughter  of  Nicholas  Cassel,  born 
November  11,  1702,  a  son  of  Arnold  Cassel,  son  of  Johannes 
Cassel,  who  came  from  Germany  in  1686.

Of  the  family  of  Johannes  Cassel,  who  came  to  German- 
town  in  1686,  I  gave  some  account  of  the  sons  Arnold  and 
Peter,  and  of  their  children;  but  of  his  children's  children  we 
have  very  little  knowledge.  They  mostly  resided  in  Philadel- 
phia and  were  married  there.  I  here  give  a  list  of  some  of 
them,  who  were  married  and  resided  in  Philadelphia,  as  I 
have  found  in  the  Pennsylvania  Archives,  vols.  8  and  9,  and 
otherwise,  viz. : 

Andrew  Cassel,  m.  Eliza  Beck,  January  3,  1768. 

Eliza  Cassel,  m.  Thomas  Allen,  April  28,  1 791 . 

Christianna  Cassel,  m.  John  Wilkes,  April  15,  1779.

Ann  Cassel,  m.  Dennis  Leary,  July  8,  1780. 

Nicholas  Cassel,  m.  Mary  Fretwell,  June  5,  1744.  His 
daughter,  Susanna,  m.  Edward  Drinker,  a  son  of  Edward 
Drinker,  who  died,  aged  102  years.

Eliza  Cassel,  m.  Jeremiah  Smith,  January  7,  1787. 
Sarah  Cassel,  m.  William  Whitpaine,  March  13,  1776. 

Christian  Cassel  came  from  the  Palatinate  in  September 
1 1,  1738,  in  the  ship  Robert  and  Oliver,  and  bought  a  farm  of 
Lorenze  Klein,  about  two  or  three  miles  from  Allentown,  Pa. 

YELLES  or  JULIUS  KASSEL,  of  Kriesheim,  in  the 
Palatinate  (Pfalz),  before  1618,  died  about  1681,  a  Mennonite 
minister. 

2  20  1     Johannes   Cassel,  b.  1639,  came  to  America 

November  20,  1686. 

Heinrich  Kassel  was  a  Mennonite  minister  in  the  Palati- 
nate or  on  the  Upper  Rhine.  He  wrote  a  pamphlet  on  the 
history  of  the  Quakers  to  which  Peter  Hendricks  and  Jacob 
Claus,  of  Amsterdam,  wrote  a  reply  in  1679,  which  was  the 
property  of  Daniel  Francis  Pastorius,  and  is  now  in  the  fire- 
proof of  the  Pennsylvania  Historical  Society  at  Philadelphia 
in  the  Abraham  H.  Cassel  collection.  See  Pennypacker's 
Sketches,  page  27. 

History  also  mentions  a  Henrich  Kassel,  Preacher,  of 
Lambertsheim,  in  1689;  also  Henrich  Kassel,  Preacher,  Ger- 
olsheim,  in  1690. 

A  Henrich  Kassel  is  also  mentioned  in  Rupp's  30,000 
names,  on  page  432,  among  the  first  settlers  of  Germantown, 
between  1683-17 10. 

Also  a  Heinrich  Kassel  is  mentioned  among  the  fifty- 
two  members  of  the  Mennonite  Church,  at  Germantown,  in 
1708,  when  the  first  Mennonite  meeting-house  was  built.  See 
Morgan  Edwards'  History,  1770.  Of  this  Heinrich  Kassel 
we  have  very  little  account. 


CASSEL    FAMILY.  37 

It  is,  however,  stated  by  the  descendants  of  the  Cassel 
family,  of  Maryland,  that  their  ancestor  came  from  Pennsyl- 
vania early  in  the  1700s,  and  settled  near  Frederick  city, 
Maryland,  or  may  it  be  that  he  removed  with  Van  Bebber  to 
Bohemia  Manor,  Cecil  County,  Maryland.  See  Pennypacker's 
Sketches,  page  57.  One  of  the  descendants  writes  from  Balti- 
more and  mentions  three  sons,  viz. : 

Jacob  Cassel,  m.  Margaret ,  and  stayed  on  the  old 

farm,  or  homestead,  near  Frederick  City,  Maryland,  and  had 
eleven  children. 

The  other  two,  Abraham  Cassel  and  Martin  Cassel,  moved

i  21  i      HUPERT  CASSEL  came  to  Pennsylvania 

about    17 1 5    or    1720;    married   a   Miss 

Syche  and  settled  in  Skippack. 

His   children    were :    Yelles,    Elizabeth, 
Henry,  Abraham,  and  Mary. 

Hupert  Cassel,  our  remote  ancestor  or  original  progenitor 
of  the  Cassels  in  America,  more  particularly  the  line  repre- 
sented in  this  work,  emigrated  to  this  country  about  171 5  or 
1720,  from  Kriesheim,  called  the  Palatinate  (Pfalz),  a  Province 
of  Germany,  west  of  the  Rhine.  It  is  now  divided  between 
Bavaria  and  Hesse-Hamburg.     He  was  then  a  single  man. 

On  his  arrival  in  America  he  stopped  at  Germantown 
and  hired  his  services  to  different  individuals,  both  as  a  hus- 
bandman and  weaver,  until  he  became  acquainted  with  a 
Dutch  girl  (native  of  Holland),  whose  Christian  name  was 
Syche,  with  whom,  as  soon  as  circumstances  would  permit, 
he  was  joined  in  the  holy  bond  of  matrimony.  Meanwhile 
his  brothers,  Yelles,  or  Julius,  and  Johannes,  who  were  cor- 
responding with  him  from  Germany,  charged  him  by  the  most 
solemn  remonstrances  not  to  marry  a  Dutch  girl,  they  having 
for  some — to  me  unknown — cause,  imbibed  a  deep-rooted 
prejudice  against  the  woman  of  that  nation,  but  for  which  they 
had  abundant  occasion  to  repent,  as  the  sequel  will  show. 
For  soon  after,  his  brothers,  Yelles  and  Johannes,  also  emi- 
grated to  America  and  arrived  in  the  ship  Friendship,  on  the 
1 6th  of  October,  1727,  after  a  passage  of  four  months,  from 
Rotterdam. 


40  CASSEL    FAMILY. 

Johannes  Cassel  settled  westward  in  the  vicinity  of  Co- 
lumbia, Lancaster  County,  Pa. 

Yelles  or  Julius  Cassel  settled  with  his  brother  Hubert, 
by  whom  he  was  received  with  the  greatest  imaginable  kind- 
ness, and  especially  his  wife.  They  boarded  and  lodged  them, 
and  afterwards  divided  their  land,  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres, 
with  them  and  assisted  them  in  every  possible  manner  to  put 
up  his  buildings,  etc. ;  and,  on  the  whole,  she  was  such  a 
noble,  kind-hearted  woman  and  so  devotedly  pious  that  he 
began  to  think  she  was  one  of  a  thousand,  whose  equal  could 
not  be  found.  In  consequence  he  oft  confessed  and  implored 
her  forgiveness  for  having  so  unkindly  and  undeservedly 
despised  her. 

The  tract  of  land  which  he  occupied  (150  acres)  was  a 
part  of  6166  acres  taken  up  or  bought  of  Matthias  Van  Beb- 
ber,  of  Bohemia  River,  Maryland,  who  bought  it  from  William 
Penn,  Proprietary  Governor  of  Pennsylvania,  dated  1702,  of 
which  Dirk  and  William  Renberg,  of  Muhlheim,  bought  three 
hundred  acres  in  the  year  1706,  of  which  Dirk  Renberg 
bought  his  moiety,  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres,  in  17 19,  and 
settled  on  it,  from  whom  the  aforesaid  Hupert  Cassel,  all  of 
Van  Bebber  (Skippack)  Township,  bought  the  said  tract  of 
150  acres.  The  date  of  the  title  is  November  16,  1725,  which 
has  constantly  been  occupied  by  his  descendants  until  the 
year  1855,  a  period  of  about  130  years,  without  a  deed.  Be- 
ing constantly  willed  from  father  to  son  until  the  last  occu- 
pant, Samuel  Cassel,  son  of  Henry  Cassel,  who  died  without 
issue,  whereupon  it  was  sold,  in  the  year  1857,  and  passed 
into  the  hands  of  Mr.  Johnson. 

The  old  articles  of  agreement  between  Dirk  Renberg  and 
Hupert  Cassel  are  yet  existing,  bearing  date  July  24,  1725, 
and  are  in  manner  following,  to  wit :  To  give  immediate  pos- 
session. But  the  corn  now  in  the  ground  is  excepted,  and 
sufficient  house-room  for  himself  and  family  till  first  of  April 
next,  and  to  keep  a  cow  and  horse  with  sufficient  provender 
until  the  time  aforesaid,  and  to  have  a  good  and  lawful  title 
executed   until    16th   of  November,  A.  D.   1725,  with  seven

bonds  of  ^"10  each,  the  interest  of  the  sum  to  be  diminished 
only  as  the  bonds  are  paid  off,  for  the  true  performance  of 
which  they  bound  themselves  in  each  other  in  a  bond  of  .£200 
each.  From  his  will  we  learn  that  he  was  a  weakly  man.  A 
man  of  very  delicate  health,  and,  as  it  appears,  never  pos- 
sessed much  of  this  world's  goods,  for  in  his  will  we  find 
many  articles  of  a  very  trivial  value  specified  to  his  several 
heirs.  As  for  instance,  to  my  dear  and  much  beloved  wife, 
"  Syche,"  he  says,  I  give  ;£io  in  cash,  with  best  bedstead  and 
bedding,  besides  a  featherbed  and  two  extra  sheets,  pillow- 
cases, etc. ;  the  first  pick  of  my  cows,  besides  some  other  very 
trifling  articles,  such  as  a  teakettle,  the  little  table,  etc. 

To  my  son  Yelles  or  Julius  I  give  all  that  tract  of  land 
which  I  bought  of  William  Johnson,  which  was  then  a  dense 
wilderness,  but  he  has  already  put  buildings  on  and  fitted  it 
up  for  himself,  boarded  the  workmen  at  home  at  a  distance  of 
two  and  a  half  miles. 

To  my  son  Abraham  I  give  my  two  looms  with  my 
whole  weaving  tacle. 

And  to  my  son  Henry  I  leave  this,  my  residence,  with  a 
dower  of  £jo  for  the  maintenance  of  my  dear  wife.  And  if 
in  case  she  proves  uneasy  with  the  noisomness  of  the  family 
my  son  Henry  shall  find  and  provide  for  her  a  convenient 
apartment,  such  as  may  be  agreeable  to  her,  out  of  her  said 
legacy. 

And  to  my  daughter  Elizabeth,  wife  of  Nicholas  Halde- 
man,  Jr.,  I  give  £10. 

And  to  my  youngest  daughter,  Mary,  I  give  the  sum  of 
twenty  pounds  current  lawfull  money,  when  she  arrives  at  the 
age  of  eighteen  years. 

The  above  is  copied  from  the  original  manuscripts,  now 
in  possession  of  Abraham  H.  Cassel,  at  Harleysville,  Mont- 
gomery County,  Pa.,  by  Samuel  K.  Cassel,  great-great-grand- 
son of  the  aforesaid  Hupert  Cassel,  January  2,  1879,  f°r  tne 
Cassel  genealogy.  Afterwards,  when  his  health  failed,  all  the 
papers  in  his  possession  were  given  into  the  hands  of  Daniel 
K.  Cassel,  of  Germantown,  brother  of  the  above  mentioned 
(c.  f.— 5.)

ungehaltener  besuch  dieses,  und  des  Vorigen  Jahrs  unter  den 
Mennoniten  in  Conestogo  bekraftiget  es.  Gleich  wie  aber  die 
Raaben,  Adler  und  Raub  vogel.  Wann  sie  ein  vettes  aas 
erchmacken,  nicht  erst  warten  bis  man  ihnen  pfeifet.  Sondern, 
ungerufen  hineilen.  So  machten  es  auch  die  Zinzendorfer  by 
denen  Sonst  aufrichtigen  und  reichen  Mennoniten.  Sie  Sind 
aber  auch  meistenstheils  als  unberufene  Gaste  angesehen  und 
mit  leerer  Hand  wieder  fortgeschickt,  und  ihnen  gar  nichts 
ubrig  gelassen  worden  als  dasz  sie  sich  nun  mit  ihren  eigenen 
rechtfertigen.  Vorgeben  als  wann  sie  so  Groszen  Segen 
unter  ihnen  gehabt,  breit  machen  konnen  welches  doch  der 
wahrheit  nicht  Gemasz  ist.  Dann  die  Mennonisten  haben  den

42,  Schon  in  Groben  liigen  erfunden  und  darum  ihm  nicht 
mehr  zuhoren  wollen  da  aber  doch  ein  Lehrer  unter  ihnen. 
Namens  Yelles  Cassel,  von  den  Zinzendorfern  ist  beredet 
worden  dasz  er  zur  Conferenz  nach  Oley  Kommen  und  nur 
zuhoren  soil,  hat  der  Graff  die  List  gespielt  dasz  Cassel  ihm 
Seinen  Kram  un'terschreiben  Soil,  und  damit  hatte  der  Graff 
andere  Mennonisten  hintergehen,  oder  zum  wenigsten  in  die 
welt  hinein  Prelen  konnen,  mit  eines  Mennonisten  Lehrers 
namen  aus  Pennsylvanien,  aber  der  ehrliche  man  entschuldigte 
Sich,  dasz  er  weder  im  Namen  Seiner  Gemeine,  oder  vor  Sich 
Selbsten  etwas  von  Seinen  Sachen  Unter-Schreiben  konne, 
Da  Sagte  der  Graff.  Ich  will  mit  euch  wetten  worum  ihr 
wolt,  dass  ehe  ein  Jahr  vergeht  so  Sollen  die  halben  Menno- 
nisten Mahrisch  Sein  (denen  doch  mehr  als  2000  hier  Sind) 
Yelles  Cassel  Sagte ;  ich  hab  nichts  zu  wetten.  Zinzendorf 
Sagte  nochmal,  warum  wollt  ihr  nicht  wetten  ?  Cassel  Sagte, 
das  wetten  ist  eine  Sache  vor  lose  Buben,  oder  leichtsinnige

auch  nichts.

They  also  brought  with  them  many  valuable  papers,  manu-

A  large  portion  of  them  were  destroyed  in  a  fire  at  the  burn-

In  the  name  of  God,  Amen.  I,  Henry  Cassel,  of  Towa- 
mencin  township,  the  county  of  Montgomery,  and  state  of 
Pennsylvania,  being  advanced  in  age  but  of  sound  mind,  un- 
derstanding and  memory,  thanks  be  to  God,  do  make  and  or- 
dain this  my  last  will  and  testament  in  manner  following : 

First.  I  will  that  all  my  just  debts  and  funeral  charges 
be  satisfied  and  paid  by  my  executors  out  of  my  personal 
estate.  Then  it  is  my  will  and  I  give  to  my  beloved  wife 
Margaret  our  bed  and  bedstead  all  belonging  thereto,  my  pipe 
stove,  thirty-hour  clock,  one  cow  her  choice,  and  as  much 
other  household  goods  as  she  chooses  and  fifty  pounds  in 
money  to  be  paid  to  her  in  three  months  after  my  decease.  I 
also  give  unto  her  two  rooms  the  northwest  end  of  the  house 
where  we  now  live,  and  the  two  upper  rooms  and  privilege  at 
the  fire-place,  and  in  the  cellar  for  her  use,  with  sufficient 
egress  and  regress,  and  fire-wood  ready  cut  and  brought  to 
the  door  fit  for  the  pipe  stove  as  much  as  she  chooses.  One- 
quarter  of  the  garden  and  dung  brought  in  as  much  as  she 
chooses,  and  fruit  of  the  orchard  as  much  as  she  has  need  of. 
Fifteen  pounds  yearly  and  every  year.     The  first  payment  to 


CASSEL   FAMILY.  49 

commence  in  one  year  after  my  decease,  and  my  son  Yelles 
or  his  successor  is  to  keep  her  cow,  summer  and  winter,  as  he 
keeps  his  own.  All  this  above  mentioned  she  is  to  have  as 
long  as  she  remains  my  widow.  Item,  I  give  unto  my  son 
Yelles  my  wagon,  plow,  harrow,  horse  gears,  the  weaver  loom 
with  all  the  tackling  belonging  thereto. 

And  whereas,  I  hold  one  hundred  and  thirty-one  acres  of 
land  situated  in  Towamencin  township,  item,  I  give  the  afore- 
said one  hundred  and  thirty- one  acres  of  land  with  appurte- 
nances thereto  belonging  to  my  son  Yelles  Cassel,  his  heirs 
and  assigns  forever.  And  he  the  said  Yelles  Cassel  is  to  pay 
and  allow  all  the  above  mentioned  articles  to  his  mother. 
And  I  do  estimate  and  value  the  aforesaid  plantation  to  my 
son  Yelles  at  seven  hundred  pounds  in  specie,  out  of  which  I 
give  unto  him  one  hundred  pounds  first  and  foremost  instead 
of  what  I  have  given  to  my  daughters  Eve  and  Susanna  in 
holds  and  money,  and  the  remainder  what  is  unpaid  he  is  to 
pay  as  follows  :  seventy-five  pounds  in  one  year  after  my  and 
my  wife's  decease,  and  so  yearly  and  every  year  till  the  whole 
is  paid,  he  having  his  equal  share  in  each  payment.  Item,  I 
give  all  my  personal  estate  what  is  not  already  willed  to  my 
three  children,  named  Yelles,  Eve,  wife  of  John  Springer, 
Susanna,  wife  of  George  Trumbor,  share  and  share  alike  ;  and 
after  my  wife's  decease  my  son  Yelles  is  to  have  the  thirty- 
hour  clock,  the  pipe  stove,  and  the  large  Bible,  first  and  fore- 
most. The  remainder  is  to  be  divided  among  my  three  child- 
ren, as  before  said.  Item,  it  is  my  will  and  I  order  that  my 
son  Yelles  is  to  get  any  necessaries  my  wife  is  in  need  of,  such 
as  going  to  mill  and  store  or  elsewhere  ;  but  he  is  not  to  have 
any  pay  for  hist  trouble. 

And  lastly,  I  constitute  and  appoint  my  son  Yelles  Cas- 
sel to  be  my  executor  of  this  my  last  will  and  testament,  dis- 
annulling all  the  wills  and  confirming  this  and  no  other  to  be 
my  last  will  and  testament. 

In  witness  whereof,  I,  Henry  Cassel,  have  hereunto  set

of  Upper  Salford  Township,  in  Philadelphia  County,  Yeoman, 


CASSEL  FAMILY.  5  I 

do  find  myself  Sick  in  Body,  But  of  Sound  mind,  Memory 
and  understanding,  Blessed  be  God,  and  as  I  know  there  is  a 
time  appointed  for  all  Man  to  die,  I  therefore  do  order  and 
make  this  my  last  will  and  Testament. 

First.  I  do  recommend  my  Soul  into  the  hands  of  God, 
the  Allmighty,  and  my  body  unto  the  Earth  to  be  buried  in 
Christian-like  manner.  And  Concerning  my  worldly  Estate, 
I  do  dispose  of  the  Same  in  the  following  manner : 

I  will  that  all  my  Legal  Debts  and  funeral  charges  shall 
be  just  and  fully  paid  by  my  hereafter  named  Executors. 

Item.  I  will  that  my  beloved  wife  Fiega  shall  keep  house 
with  my  estate  with  the  children,  and  to  have  the  whole  man- 
agement of  the  same  if  she  remains  my  widow,  till  my  only 
son  Jacob  shall  be  at  his  Lawful  1  age,  and  then  it  is  my  will 
that  my  Land  and  Plantation  shall  be  valued  and  appraised 
by  three  men,  which  shall  be  chosen  by  my  children,  and  my 
son  Jacob  shall  have  the  place  at  the  appraisement  as  the  men 
then  chosen  shall  think  proper  and  the  place  can  afford.  In 
case  my  son  shall  refuse  to  take  the  place,  then  it  shall  be 
sold  to  the  best  advantage  of  my  children.  Likewise  shall 
then  all  my  movable  estate  be  sold,  and  what  my  wife  and 
children  shall  advance  till  my  son  is  at  age  that  shall  be  in 
equal  shares  between  my  wife  and  my  son  for  their  use  for- 
ever. 

Item.  I  give  and  devise  unto  my  well  beloved  wife  our 
Bed,  with  the  Bedstead  and  all  the  furniture  belonging  to  the 
Same,  all  her  Clothes  with  her  Chest,  and  one-third  of  my 
movable  Estate.  All  this  I  give  to  her  for  her  own  use  and 
disposal,  and  further  I  give  and  devise  unto  her  the  interest 
of  the  third  part  what  my  land  shall  be  appraised  or  Sold  at 
which  third  part  shall  be  Lease  on  my  place,  And  the  in- 
terest be  paid  to  her  yearly  so  long  she  remains  my  widow. 
But  in  case  she  marry,  then  she  shall  receive  only  half  the  In- 
terest of  the  same,  and  the  said  third  part ;  the  one-half  when 
she  marries  shall  be  divided  among  my  children  or  their  Heirs 
in  equal  Shares  and  the  residue  after  her  decease.

Item.  It  is  my  will  if  my  son  shall  keep  the  place  that  my 
wife  shall  live  with  my  son  so  long  as  she  remains  my  widow, 
and  he  shall  find  her  a  good  warm  stove,  Room  and  firewood 
fit  for  her  use,  and  other  Liberties  in  the  House  for  her  use. 
All  the  residue  of  my  Estate  I  give  and  Divide  unto  my  five 
children  or  their  Heirs  in  equal  Shares,  named,  Jacob,  Eliza-

be  paid  to  them  as  they  follow  in  their  age,  and  as  the  pay- 
ments of  my  plantation  shall  come  due.  But  in  case  one  or 
more  of  my  children  Should  die  before  their  Lawful  age  or 
without  issue,  then  his  or  their  share  shall  be  equally  Divided 
Between  my  wife,  if  she  remains  my  widow,  and  my  children 
then  living  or  the  heirs  of  their  body.  And  I  do  nominate 
and  appoint  my  Brother  Henry  Cassel  and  my  Brother-in-

them,  a  Deed  and  Sufficient  Right  as  I  personally  could  do 
myself,  and  that  they  shall  execute  the  same  according  to  the

Samuel  Harley,  who  was  a  prominent 
preacher  in  the  Brethren  or  Dunkard 
Church,  at  Indian  Creek,  Montgomery 
county,  Pa. 

Rev.  Samuel  Harley,  son  of  Abraham  Harley,  born  No- 
vember 26,  1795,  married  Elizabeth  Kline,  and  had  two  child- 
ren, Jonas  and  Eeah,  who  married  Samuel  Kline,  but  leaves 
no  issue.  He  was  a  farmer  by  occupation,  and  early  in  life 
became  a  member  of  the  German  Baptist  or  Brethren  Church. 
It  was  not  very  long  until  he  was  elected  to  the  office  of  dea- 
con in  which  capacity  he  was  often  requested  to  offer  prayer 
and  to  bear  testimony  to  the  sermons,  which  he  did  with  so 
much  ability  that  he  was  soon  called  to  the  ministry.  He 
was  a  diligent  reader  of  Scripture,  of  church    history,  of  the

church  fathers  and  of  religious  authors,  and  improved  rapidly 
as  a  speaker  and  orator.  After  the  death  of  Elder  William 
Price,  in  1849,  he  was  ordained  to  the  position  of  Bishop  by  the 
laying  on  of  hands.  He  had  much  magnetic  influence  and  in 
his  preaching  had  a  very  persuasive  way  in  declaring  his 
ideas,  appealing  to  sinners,  convincing  and  converting  them. 
He  was  the  most  eloquent  German  minister  in  the  Brethren 
Church  in  his  time,  and  wherever  he  went  he  drew  large 
crowds  of  people.  He  was  also  very  sociable  and  affectionate 
in  his  intercourse  with  his  friends.  He  often  went  into  other 
localities  to  preach,  and  when  it  was  known  that  he  was  com- 
ing, the  people  would  flock  together  to  hear  him.  It  was  by 
his  preaching  that  many  people  were  converted  to  God  and 
a  number  of  churches  were  started,  and  eight  or  more  meet- 
ing-houses were  built  under  his  care.  As  a  minister  and  an 
orator  he  was  very  successful,  and  his  abilities  were  of  the 
highest  order.  In  his  old  age  he  suffered  much  from  gravel, 
with  which  he  was  afflicted  a  number  of  years,  and  the  several 
last  years  of  his  life  kept  himself  secluded  in  his  room.  He 
died  October  20,  1878,  aged  82  years,  10  months  and  24  days. 
His  wife,  Elizabeth,  died  March  12,  1872,  aged  yy  years  and 
20  days.

CASSEL  FAMILY. 


The  following  sketch  was  prepared  by  George  R.  Prowell, 
of  York  county,  Pennsylvania  : 

Abraham  Harley  Casscl,  antiquarian  and  bibliophile, 
founder  of  the  Cassel  library,  was  born  in  Towamensing 
township,  Montgomery  county,  Pa.,  near  Union  Square,  gen- 
erally called  White's  Corner,  on  September  21,  1820,  and 
lived  there  until  the  year  1834.  [Then  his  father,  Yelles 
Cassel,  bought  a  farm  in  Lower  Salford,  above  Harleysville, 
Montgomery  county,  Pa.,  and  moved  there,  Abraham  going 
with  him.  It  is  on  this  place  where  his  well  known  library 
is  located,  the  collections  of  which  he  commenced  about 
1830. — Author.] 

Though  he  has  spent  almost  his  entire  life  at  this  se- 
cluded spot,  six  miles  from  any  railroad,  following  the  oc- 
cupation of  a  farmer,  he  is  well  known  in  this  country  and  in 
Europe  for  his  remarkable  literary  attainments  and  his  great 
success   as   a  collector   of  rare   books,  p'amplets,  papers  and 
manuscripts.     Having  acquired  a  vast  fund  of  valuable  infor- 
mation by  his  own  individual  efforts  from  the  many  thous- 
ands of  books  he  has  collected,  and  never  happier  than  when 
inspiring  others  with  his  own  thirst  for  knowledge,  or  when 
dispensing  the  contents  of  his  books  to  his  many  guests,  for 
many  years  his  country  home  has  been  the  favored  resort  for 
editors,  authors,  learned  men,  and  students  of  history,  from 
all  over  this  country  and  parts  of  Europe.     On  the  paternal 
side  he  is  a  descendant  of  Hupert  Cassel,  a  nephew  of  the 
pioneer,  Johannes  Cassel,  Mennonites,  who  with  many  early 
German    emigrants,  by    the    personal    invitation    of  William 
Penn,  came  over  and  settled  at  Germantown  near  Philadel- 
phia, in    1686.     On    the  maternal   side   he  is   a  great-great- 
grandson  of  the  first  Christoph  Saur  or  Sower,  the  celebrated 
scholar  and  printer  of  Germantown,  and  of  Peter  Becker,  the 
first  elder  of  the  German  Baptist  Church  in  America.     From 
these  men  noted  in  the  colonial  history  of   Pennsylvania,  Mr. 
Cassel  doubtless  inherited  his  great  thirst  for  knowledge  and 
taste  for  historical  and  classical  literature.     Many  of  the  un- 
lettered  Germans  in   his   state  and   neighborhood,  in  conse-

quence  of  a  supposed  attempt  in  a  previous  generation  to 
proselyte  their  children  by  compelling  them  to  attend  schools 
in  which  the  religion  of  rival  sects  was  taught,  were  averse  to 
giving  a  boy  an  opportunity  of  gaining  more  than  the  rudi- 
ments of  an  education.  This  view  was  held  by  his  .stern 
father,  who  endeavored  to  crush  the  son's  desire  for  private 
study  and  reading  by  imposing  upon  him  an  extra  amount  of 
farm  work.  But  Abraham  seemed  to  have  been  born  with  a 
love  for  books  ;  as  a  little  child  his  attention  was  attracted  to 
a  book  more  than  any  other  plaything.  An  elder  sister 
taught  him  to  read  in  his  eighth  year,  by  the  side  of  her 
spinning  wheel.  His  only  additional  advantage  was  six- 
weeks'  attendance  at  a  country  school  near  his  home  ;  but 
he  employed  all  his  leisure  time  from  his  labors  on  his 
father's  farm  in  diligent  study  of  such  books  as  came  within 
his  reach.  His  fondness  for  books  developed  in  a  wonderful 
degree,  and  he  even  spent  much  of  the  night,  wrapped  up  in 
the  covers  of  his  bed,  sitting  in  a  cold  room  by  the  dim  light 
of  a  tallow  candle,  eagerly  obtaining  a  comprehensive  knowl- 
edge of  their  contents.  Being  strongly  endowed  with  mental 
concentration  and  a  retentive  memory,  he  soon  learned  to  ab- 
sorb from  a  book  its  most  valuable  features,  without  the  as- 
sistance of  others,  and  he  thus  became  a  complete  example  of 
the  self  educated  man.  By  his  own  efforts  he  obtained  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  German  and  English,  and  became 
quite  familiar  with  Latin  and  Greek.  At  the  age  of  eighteen 
he  began  to  teach  school  and  continued  in  that  avocation 
from  six  to  eleven  months  in  each  year,  for  eight  years,  and 
then  engaged  in  farming  at  the  paternal  homestead,  where  he- 
still  resides.  Mr.  Cassel  prospered  as  a  farmer,  Early  in  life  he 
became  interested  in  colonial  literature  and  began  to  collect 
rare  and  valuable  books.  While  teaching  school  he  learned  the 
whereabouts  of  those  now  priceless  works,  which  the  relig- 
ious enthusiasts  who  settled  Pennsylvania,  brought  across  the 
Atlantic.  In  after  life,  in  search  of  rare  volumes,  he  made 
many  a  long  trip,  partly  on  foot  through  Pennsylvania,  Mary- 
land, Virginia,  Ohio,  and  the  west  of  the  Mississippi  river  and 
(c.  f.— 7.) 


74  CASSEL  FAMILY. 

beyond.  On  one  of  these  tours  he  traveled  over  6,000  miles. 
His  sole  object  in  bringing  together  these  literary  treasures 
was  a  love  for  books  and  his  desire  to  study  them.  So  the 
wonder  grew  until  this  plain,  unpretentious  farmer  astonished 
the  historical  societies  and  learned  men,  when  it  became 
known  that  he  owned  a  library  of  over  50,000  valuable  books, 
pamphlets,  and  documents — historical,  theological,  and  scien- 
tific. He  brought  together  probably  the  most  complete  col- 
lection of  the  Franklin,  Saur,  Ephrata,  and  Swenkfelder  pub- 
lications in  America.  His  library  establishes  the  fact  that  the 
early  Germans  in  Pennsylvania  were  the  most  prolific  pub- 
lishers of  books  in  this  country,  previous  to  the  revolution. 
He  has  many  original  documents  of  the  literature  of  the  re- 
formation, and  first  editions  of  the  works  of  all  the  principal 
reformers,  the  earliest  Bibles  in  many  languages,  first  issue  of 
all  the  leading  newspapers  in  the  Ameiican  colonies,  and  a 
great  variety  of  works  on  ancient  philosophy  and  archeology. 
For  half  a  century  he  wrote  for  German  and  English  periodi- 
cals and  furnished  a  vast  amount  of  valuable  historical  infor- 
mation to  local  histories  in  Pennsylvania  and  elsewhere. 
Early  in  life  he  was  the  companion  of  Watson  the  annalist, 
and  of  I.  D.  Rupp,  the  historian,  and  furnished  to  them  much 
information.  Fearing  that  his  priceless  volumes  might  some 
day  be  scattered  through  many  libraries  and  their  value  lost 
to  the  investigator,  Mr.  Cassel  gave  about  28,000  books  and 
documents  to  the  Brethren's  Collegiate  Institute,  at  Mount 
Morris,  111.,  and  contributed  to  the  Historical  Society  of  Penn- 
sylvania, about  3,000  valuable  books  and  papers  relating  to 
the  early  history  of  that  state  ;  besides  making  liberal  dona- 
tions to  Bridgewater  College,  Virginia,  and  a  College  in  Ohio. 
His  library  now  contains  about  8,000  volumes  and  about 
16,000  pamphlets  and  miscellaneous  documents.  Mr.  Cassel 
is  a  very  prominent  and  influential  member  of  the  German 
Baptist  or  Dunkard  Church,  and  has  long  held  a  command- 
ing position  in  its  conferences,  but  he  persistently  refused  to 
enter  the  ministry  in  answer  to  the  earnest  appeals  of  his 
brethren,  because  he  loved  his  studies  so  much,  and  because 


CASSEL    FAMILY.  75 

he  thought  he  was  not  "  called  of  the  Lord."  For  half  a  cen- 
tury he  has  been  a  wise  counsellor  in  his  church,  and  his  de- 
cisions on  important  questions  are  generally  accepted  as  final. 
He  is  universally  recognized  as  the  historian  of  his  church. 
He  declined  lucrative  situations  offered  him  by  merchants 
and  by  a  bank,  and  twice  refused  to  accept  public  office.  He 
is  the  personification  of  benevolence,  and  has  a  gentleness 
of  manner  and  kindliness  of  heart  which  win  for  him  recogni- 
tion among  all  classes  of  people,  who  find  in  him  a  worthy 
friend  and  charming  companion.  Crowning  all  his  noble 
qualities,  is  the  spirit  of  humility  which  shows  itself  in  all  his 
daily  acts.  He  has  a  certain  simple  eloquence  of  speech 
which  is  made  impressive  by  his  earnestness,  and  to  which  is 
lent  an  added  charm  by  a  slight  German  accent.  He  dresses 
in  the  plain  habit  of  his  brethren,  and  possesses  a  clean-cut 
face  which  is  lit  up  with  intelligence  and  kindled  with  enthu- 
siasm when  he  discourses  on  his  favorite  themes.  It  is  one 
of  the  best  evidences  of  the  complete  development  of  Air. 
Cassel's  mind  and  character  that  he  is  held  in  the  highest  es- 
teem by  his  prosaic  neighbors  who  care  little  for  books,  and 
everything  for  the  crops  and  for  thrift  and  economy.  This 
is  partly  due  to  the  fact  that  he  has  thrived  by  holding  the 
plow  himself,  and  has  accumulated  a  competency,  but  the 
universal  respect  in  which  he  is  held  by  a  large  circle  of  ac- 
quaintances in  all  classes  of  society  is  mainly  due  to  his  sin- 
cere and  noble  character. 

The  atmosphere  of  piety  pervading  his  home,  the  beau- 
tiful simplicity  of  his  manners,  the  endurance  of  his  friendship, 
and  the  story  of  his  remarkable  career,  have  kindled  a  love 
for  him,  which  is  not  bounded  by  the  county  or  the  state,  but 
which  even  extends  to  foreign  lands. 

The  following  is  taken  from  the  "  Norristown   Herald  "  : 

"  Born  and  bred  among  the  simple  country-folk  who  make 

up  the   population    of  the   German    districts   of  the   county, 

Abraham  Harley  Cassel  is  one  of  the  most  remarkable  men 

that  Montgomery  county  has  produced.     He  has,  strongly  de- 


?6  CASSEL  FAMILY. 

veloped,  the  qualities  of  originality,  acquisitiveness  and  persist- 
ence, as  may  be  learned  from  the  story  of  his  life. 

"  Surrounded  by  his  books  in  his  Lower  Salford  home, 
remote  from  the  centres  of  learning  and  culture,  he  presents  a 
most  striking  personality,  indeed.  An  affection  of  the  eyes 
prevents  him  from  that  close  application  to  his  beloved  books 
which  would  be  his  choice,  and  which  would  be  the  solace  of 
his  old  age. 

"  He  can  still  read  a  few  minutes  at  a  time,  glancing  in 
an  hour,  perhaps,  at  what  would  have  occupied  him  ten 
minutes  when  his  sight  was  perfect.  In  this  way  he  is  still 
able  to  enjoy  to  a  certain  extent  the  accumulations  of  a  life- 
time. 

"  His  books  and  other  literary  rarities  are  stored  in  the 
upper  rooms  of  his  dwelling,  which  is  occupied  by  himself, 
his  wife,  his  sister  and  an  unmarried  daughter.  Visitors 
mount  old-fashioned  back  stairs,  and  are  ushered  at  once  into 
one  of  the  rooms  containing  his  treasures.  The  room  is  long, 
low  and  narrow,  containing  many  thousand  volumes.  Both 
sides  are  lined  with  drawers  to  the  height  of  three  feet.  Above 
are  book-shelves  extending  entirely  around  the  room.  At 
the  ends  are  Mr.  Cassel's  worktables,  between  which  extends 
a  sort  of  partition  in  the  middle  of  the  room,  lined  on  both 
sides  with  books,  classified  into  various  kinds.  In  this  room 
there  is  scarcely  space  to  turn  for  books. 

"  The  drawers  mentioned  are  filled  mostly  with  books, 
placed  on  their  edges  in  rows,  for  economy  of  space.  In 
these  are  also  pamphlets  and  other  documents,  all  disposed 
so  as  to  take  up  as  little  room  as  possible.  In  another  room 
adjoining  is  a  somewhat  similar  arrangement  of  literary  treas- 
ures, numbering  thousands. 

"  In  the  course  of  a  long  life  Mr.  Cassel  has  received  and 
written  many  letters.  He  opens  drawer  after  drawer  and 
shows  all  that  have  come  to  him,  fifteen  or  twenty  thousand, 
preserved  and  filed  away  writh  the  most  scrupulous  care. 
They  are  from  more  than  1 200  correspondents,  many  of  them 
men  and  women  distinguished  in  the  world  of  letters.     He  is 


CASSEL    FAMILY.  77 

a  most  indefatigable  collector,  as  everything  around  you  in- 
dicates. 

"  Unassuming,  and  gentle  as  a  woman,  Mr.  Cassel  is  a 
delightful  talker.  In  listening  to  him  you  can  imagine  that 
he  has  familarized  himself  thoroughly  with  the  best  thoughts 
of  the  multitude  of  books  before  you  He  is  one  of  the  best 
informed  men  of  his  day  and  he  can  converse  intelligently  on 
almost  any  subject.  His  countenance  bears  the  impress  of 
the  innocence  and  simplicity  of  the  Dunkard  faith  in  which 
he  is  an  earnest  believer.  You  do  not  attempt  to  carry  on  a 
conversation  in  the  ordinary  sense  of  the  term.  You  simply 
listen  while  he  tells  you,  his  eye  lighted  up  with  enthusiasm, 
of  his  matchless  collection  of  books.  He  takes  down  rever- 
ently a  King  James  Bible,  a  commentary,  or  other  work,  re- 
ligious, scientific  or  medical.  He  shows  you  that  electricity 
is  not  the  entirely  modern  science  that  you  believed  it,  and 
that  there  are  a  hundred  English  Grammars  older  than  Lind- 
ley  Murray. 

"  You  listen  enthralled  to  the  flow  of  words  from  one 
who  is  thoroughly  familiar  with  his  subject,  knowing  more, 
perhaps,  about  rare  books  than  any  man  in  America.  He 
hands  you  down  from  his  shelves  old  volumes  bound  in  vel- 
lum, in  parchment,  in  hog-skin.  You  take  hold  of  another 
volume  with  a  shiver,  f  >r  you  feel  that  there  is  something 
weird  and  uncanny  about  it  as  soon  as  you  see  it  and  he  in- 
forms you  that  it  is  bound  in  human  skin.  He  goes  on,  show- 
ing you  his  treasures  until  night  falls,  and  you  regret  that  the 
time  has  come  to  part  with  one  who  impresses  you  as  a  man 
of  wonderful  patience  and  industry  and  learning  and  wisdom 
and  gentleness. 

"  He  still  detains  you  in  conversation,  and  you  find  your- 
self, like  the  listener  in  Coleridge's  'Ancient  Mariner,'  held  by 
his  '  glittering  eye.'  He  talks  of  the  men  he  has  known,  of 
the  various  experiences  of  his  long  life,  of  his  passion  for 
books  and  other  topics.  You  finally  bid  him  farewell  and  go 
away,  wondering  where  you  will  find  another  like  him.  You 
have  been  charmed  with  the  visit,  which   has   opened  directly

To  Joseph  Cassel  and  Hannah  belonged  an  old  family 
Bible  which  had  been  in  the  Cassel  family,  and  is  now  in  the 
possession  of  Solomon  K.  Grimley,  Esq.,  of  Schwenksville, 
Montgomery  county,  Pa.  It  contains  some  very  valuable 
records  to  those  interested.  It  appears  that  it  was  brought 
to  this  country  by  Johannes  Cassel  about  the  year  1686,  and 
was  in  the  possession  of  Yelles  Cassel,  of  Schriesheim,  in  der 
Pfalz.a  number  of  years  before  it  was  brought  to  this  country, 
he  being  one  of  the  ancestors  of  the  Cassel  family,  a  number 
of  the  descendants  of  whom  are  located  in  Bucks  and  Mont- 
gomery counties. 

The  Bible  remained  in  the  Cassel  family  until  about  four 
years  ago  (1890),  at  which  time  it  was  purchased  by  Mr.  Grim- 
ley,  having  been  in  the  Cassel  family  between  two  and  three 
hundred  years ;  it  is  still  in  a  good  condition.  It  contains  com- 
plete family  records,  dating  back  to  the  sixteenth  century.  It 
is  not  exactly  Luther's  translation  but  a  revision  of  it  by 
Christopher  Froschauer,  and  printed  by  him  in  Zurich,  in  the 
year  1530.

5        208  2    John  C.  Bourse,  b.  June  27,  1831  ;    m.  Mary 

Rittenhouse,  daughter  of  Samuel  Ritten- 
house,  on  January  21,  1855  ;  res.,  Kulps- 
ville,  Montgomery  county,  Pa. 

John  C.  Boorse  commenced  his  business  career  as  farmer, 
and  in  1855  purchased  of  his  father  the  old  homestead  and 
conducted  the  business  pertaining  to  a  large  farm  until  1866, 
when  he  retired  from  the  dull  routine  of  the  farm  and  engaged 
in  the  more  active  duties  of  surveyor,  conveyancer,  and  Justice 
of  the  Peace,  the  duties  of  which  he  still  performs  to  the  en- 
tire satisfaction  of  all  parties  concerned.  He  entered  the  po- 
litical field  in  the  early  part  of  1855,  when  he  was  elected 
township  assessor,  which  position  he  filled  for  eight  years. 
He  was  elected  Justice  of  the  Peace  at  the  spring  election  in 
1862,  and  has  held  that  office  continuously  until  the  present 
time.  He  has  been  one  of  the  school  directors  of  the  town- 
ship for  six  years,  judge  of  election  for  two  terms,  member  of 
the  election  board  for  twenty-seven  years,  a  member  of  the 
Republican  County  Committee  for  at  least  twelve  years,  and 
since  the  organization  of  the  Republican  party  has  been 
honored  many  times  with  a  seat  in  the  councils  of  its  leaders, 
in  the  state  and  county,  and  has  received  the  most  flattering 
testimonials  from  the  press  of  the  county. 

In  his  official  capacity  he  formulated  the  charter  and 
made  the  original  survey  for  the  borough  of  Lansdale.  He 
was  one  of  the  original  directors  of  the  Lansdale  Water 
Works  Company  and  is  the  present  secretary  of  the  same,  a 
director  and  secretary  of  the  Lansdale  Cemetery  Association, 
one  of  the  original  members  and  secretary  of  the  Towamen- 
sing  Creamery  Association,  one  of  the  originators  of  the 
Kulpsville  Literary  and  Library  Association  and  one  of  its 
active  members,  a  director  in  the  Perkiomen  Fire  and  Storm 
Insurance  Company  of  Montgomery  county,  and  was  the  offi- 
cial surveyor  of  the  borough  of  Lansdale  from  1872  to  1881. 

He  was  the  originator  and  prime  mover  in  getting  the

first  telephone  line  from  Norristown  to  Kulpsville,  via  North 
Wales  and  Lansdale,  with  station  at  his  office. 

He  held  the  office  of  Justice  of  the  Peace  for  twenty- 
three  years,  during  which  time  only  nineteen  cases  were 
returned  to  court,  he  always  endeavoring  to  settle  them  pre- 
viously. As  the  Honorable  Judge  Ross  at  one  time  remarked 
before  court:  "  If  all  justices  of  the  peace  in  the  county  would 
act  like  John  C.  Boorse,  of  Kulpsville,  thousands  of  dollars 
would  be  annually  saved  to  the  county  in  costs." 

In  1870  he  received  the  appointment  to  take  the  census 
of  Towamensing  and  Lower  Salford  townships,  which  he 
filled  with  credit  to  himself  and  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of 
the  department. 

In  1865  he  received  the  unanimous  nomination  for  county 
commissioner,  and  ran  far  ahead  of  the  regular  ticket.  The 
Democratic  party  being  then  in  large  majority,  he  was 
defeated. 

He  was  also  several  times  strongly  urged  by  the  leaders 
and  many  others  of  the  party  to  become  a  candidate  for 
the  Legislature,  which  honor  he  positively  refused,  saying 
he  was  "  not  competent."  He  was  one  of  the  delegates  to 
the  state  convention  held  in  1875,  in  Lancaster,  and  voted  for 
John  F.  Hartranft  for  Governor  and  Wm.  H.  Rawle  for  treas- 
urer. He  was  an  active  committeeman  in  the  county's  centen- 
nial, and  is  also  a  member  of  the  Montgomery  County  His- 
torical Society.  Mr.  Boorse  has  always  been  active  in  all 
progressive  movements  of  the  age  in  which  his  business  life 
has  thus  far  been  spent,  especially  anything  tending  to  im- 
prove the  morals  and  intellect  of  the  young  and  rising  gener- 
ation by  whom  he  is  surrounded.

The  following  has  been  found  later :  Jacob  H.  Cassel,  of 
Towamencin  township,  has  in  his  possession  numerous  old 
and  valuable  documents.  Among  these  is  a  certificate  for 
damages  dated  1777,  for  696  fence  rails  destroyed  by  Wash- 
ington's army.  The  document  is  still  in  good  condition.  It 
reads  as  follows  :

Estimate  of  damage  on  the  plantation    of  Henry  Cassel,

We,  whose  names  are  undersigned,  at  the  request  and  de- 
sire of  Henry  Cassel,  have  taken  a  strict  and  careful  survey 
of  the  damage  done  to  his  plantation,  and  to  the  best  of  our 
knowledge  and  judgment  believe  the  same  to  amount  to  eight 
pounds  and  fourteen  shillings  current  Pennsylvania  money  of 
Pennsylvania,  and  we  are  ready  to  qualify  unto  when  called 
upon. 

Given  under  our  hands  on  said  plantation  in  Towamen 
sing  township  this  23d  October,  1777.

Mr.  Cassel  is  also  the  possessor  of  an  old  German  Bible 
dated  1666.  There  is  only  another  one  known  to  be  in  ex- 
istence, and  is  therefore  very  valuable.  The  one  referred  to  is 
owned  by  a  wealthy  family  in  Germantown.  Mr.  Cassel  has 
been  offered  over  a  hundred  dollars  for  the  Bible.  As  the 
book  is  an  heirloom  he  prizes  it  highly  and  refuses  to  sell  it.

Obituary  notice  from  a  Mifflin  (Juniata  county)  paper : 
"  It  was  with  sincere  regret  that  we  learned  last  week,  too 
late  for  notice,  of  the  sudden  death  of  Jacob  Bergey,  an  old 
and  respected  citizen  of  Fayette,  and  subsequently  of  this 
place,  but  who  for  the  last  couple  of  years  has  made  his 
home  with  his  sister,  Mrs.  Richenback,  in  Philadelphia.  Mr. 
Bergey  moved  into  this  county  from  one  of  the  lower  counties, 
Montgomery,  we  believe,  somewhere  in  the  forties,  locating 
in  Fayette,  where  he  farmed  and  carried  on  carpentering. 
From  there  he  moved  to  town  early  in  the  fifties  and  built  the 
first  '  Crystal  Palace,'  for  Sellers,  Sulouff  &  Stambaugh,  and 
was  a  resident  of  the  town  ever  since,  until  he  moved  to  Phil

adelphia,  as  stated.  During  the  war  and  up  until  '73  or  '74 
he  was  engaged  in  droving,  with  a  man  named  Harrison 
Weaver,  of  an  eastern  county,  as  a  partner,  and  had  succeeded 
in  amassing  a  right  comfortable  competence.  But  about  the 
latter  year,  the  failure  of  Weaver,  while  indebted  heavily  to 
him,  swept  away  his  entire  means,  and  wrecked  his  life  phys- 
ically as  well  as  pecuniarily.  From  that  blow  he  never  re- 
covered. From  that  time  on  life  has  been  a  hard  struggle 
with  him.  But  he  manfully  strove  to  make  the  best  of  every- 
thing, and  resumed  his  trade  of  carpentering,  in  which  in  his 
early  life  he  was  a  master  hand,  and  when  in  health  was 
never  idle.  The  successive  deaths  a  few  years  ago  and  but  a 
short  time  apart  of  his  brothers,  Enos  and  Samuel,  from 
paralysis,  seemed  still  more  to  wreck  his  life,  already  seriously 
impaired  by  growing  infirmity,  and  doubtless  prompted  him 
to  leave  Juniata  for  his  sister's  home  in  Philadelphia.  But 
for  several  weeks  prior  to  his  death  he  had  seemed  to  fail 
rapidly,  and  on  that  day,  the  28th  ult.,  had  started  out  for  a 
short  walk  to  take  air,  when  he  was  first  seen  by  an  officer, 
sitting  on  a  door-step  speechless,  and  to  the  officer  unknown. 
He  was  taken  in  an  ambulance  to  the  German  Hospital,  which 
was  close  by,  where  he  received  proper  medical  care,  but  re- 
mained unconscious  and  died  in  a  few  hours.  Information, 
obtained  from  papers  in  his  pocket,  was  sent  to  Daniel  K. 
Cassel,  who  recognized  him  and  notified  the  family.  His 
death  was  attributed  to  paralysis,  which  seemed  to  have  been 
a  family  inheritance.  In  all  his  dealings  Mr.  Bergey  was  an 
honest  and  upright  man,  and  possessed  the  confidence  and  re- 
spect of  all  who  knew  him,  who  sincerely  regret  his  wrecked 
life  and  sudden  death."  He  was  buried  at  the  New  Britain 
Mennonite  meeting-house,  at  Line  Lexington,  Bucks  county, 
Pa."

5        247  1      Daniel  K.  Cassel,  b.  April   22,  1820,  in  Up- 

per Salford  township,  Montgomery  Co., 
Pa. ;  m.  PUizabeth  Kolb,  daughter  of 
Rev.  Jacob  Kolb,  of  Harleysville,  Mont- 
gomery county,  Pa  ;  she  was  b.  Decem- 
ber 29,  1825,  in  Lower  Salford  township, 
Montgomery  county,  Pa.,  near  Harleys- 
ville. 

Daniel  K.  Cassel  was  employed  on  his  father's  farm  and 
learned  the  art  of  linen  weaving  with  his  father.  In  his  youth 
he  received  a  limited  education,  such  as  the  country  schools 
afforded  at  that  time,  and  that  only  in  reading,  writing  and 
arithmetic,  which  he  acquired  by  going  to  school  about  forty 
to  fifty  days  in  a  year.  He  devoted  his  leisure  time  in  study- 
ing his  lessons  at  home  and  mostly  in  the  evenings,  many  a 
time  till  midnight,  so  that  he  acquired  more  knowledge 
through  his  own  exertions  at  home  than  in  school.  At  the 
age  of  nineteen  he  was  urged  by  the  residents  of  his  neigh- 
borhood to  take  charge  of  a  school,  which  he  accepted.  But 
he  soon  felt  his  incompetency ;  therefore,  at  the  close  of  the 
term  he  entered  a  select  school  for  one  term.  He  has  been 
engaged  in  teaching  in  public  schools  for  twenty  years,  dur- 
ing which  time  he   devoted   all   his  spare  time,  and   many  a

night  till  midnight,  to  his  studies,  in  order  to  enable  him  to 
teach  the  higher  branches,  viz. ;  grammar,  geography  and  the 
higher  branches  of  mathematics,  which  he  introduced  in  his 
school.  He  also  served  in  the  school  board  four  years,  dur- 
ing which  time  he  was  urged  to  accept  the  office  of  County 
Superintendent  of  Public  Schools,  which  he  positively  declined, 
not  being  an  aspirant  for  office  nor  a  politician,  but  always 
voting  the  Republican  ticket.  He  voted  for  every  Republican 
candidate  for  President  since  William  H.  Harrison,  the  "  Tip- 
picanoe."  He  has  in  his  library  a  large  collection  of  old  and 
rare  works,  and  many  rare  manuscripts,  among  them  a  volume 
of  a  full  Polyglot  Bible,  printed  in  1599,  in  twelve  languages, 
probably  the  only  copy  in  America.  He  has  an  extensive 
correspondence  throughout  this  country,  also  with  Germany 
and  Holland.  He  is  conversant  in  the  English  and  German 
languages,  also  the  Dutch  or  Holland  language,  and  the 
rudiments  of  Latin  and  French.  He  wrote  and  had  printed  a 
work  entitled,  "  History  of  the  Mennonites,"  in  the  English 
language,  and  afterward  the  same  revised  and  enlarged  and 
printed  in  the  German  language.  He  is  also  the  author  of 
three  genealogical  works,  viz. :  the  Cassel  Family,  the  Kolb 
Family  and  the  Rittenhouse  Family.  He  is  chairman  of  the 
Rittenhouse  Genealogical  Committee,  and  a  direct  descend- 
ant of  William  Rittenhouse,  the  first  Mennonite  Bishop  in 
America.  He  is  also  a  shareholder  and  member  of  Bethel 
College,  in  Kansas,  a  Mennonite  Theological  Institute.  He 
has  also  been  active  in  Sunday  school  work,  and  organ- 
ized the  Sunday  school  at  Alderfer's,  below  Harleysville, 
Montgomery  county,  Pa.,  about  1855,  being  the  first  Sunday 
school  in  that  vicinity,  which  has  been  kept  up  ever  since  ;  he 
also  organized  a  German  Sunday  school  at  Chester,  Delaware 
county,  Pa.,  with  success.  He  was  also  one  of  a  committee 
of  five  appointed  to  draw  up  preamble  and  resolutions  pro- 
testing against  the  Catholics  marching  into  the  Centennial 
grounds  free  and  carrying  the  Papal  flag  in  1876.  He  resides 
in  Nicetown,  Philadelphia,  near  Wayne  Junction,  and  is  a 
member  of  the  Mennonite  church.     He   is   a   member  of  the

IOO  CASSEL   FAMILY. 

Montgomery  County  Historical  Society,  also  a  life-member 
of  the  American  Archaeological  and  Asiatic  Association  of 
Iowa.  He  was  also  appointed  a  delegate  to  the  Denomina- 
tional Congress  to  the  World's  Exhibition  at  Chicago,  in  1893, 
nominated  by  A.  Harmer,  member  of  Congress. 

From  the  Norristown  "  Herald"  of  December  5,  1895  : 

"  Two  representatives  of  this  paper,  in  response  to  a  cor- 
dial invitation  from  the  well-known  local  historian,  Mr.  Daniel 
Kolb  Cassel,  spent  an  afternoon  last  week  in  a  visit  to  him  at 
his  residence,  4333  Germantown  avenue,.  His  home  is  one 
of  a  row  of  modern  three-story  brick  houses  on  that  thorough- 
fire,  located  in  the  lower  portion  of  Germantown. 

"  Mr.  Cassel's  labors  in  the  field  of  genealogy,  especially 
those  in  connection  with  the  Rittenhouse  family,  have  given 
him  a  reputation  in  this  line,  and  he  has  hosts  of  visitors, 
several  persons  calling  to  obtain  information  during  the  stay 
of  his  Norristown  guests.  As  he  is  social  in  disposition  and 
rarely  fails  to  obtain  valuable  information  from  his  visitors,  he- 
does  not  seem  to  regard  the  matter  in  the  light  of  an  annoy- 
ance. 

"  Many  persons  come  to  purchase  copies  of  his  numerous 
publications.  Others  wish  to  learn  facts  in  reference  to  the 
genealogy  of  their  family,  in  which  Mr.  Cassel,  so  fir  as  re- 
lates to  those  of  Pennsylvania  German  descent,  is  probably 
the  best  informed  man  in  this  state,  if  not  in  the  whole- 
country. 

"  Mr.  Cassel  is  now  past  seventy-five  years  of  age,  hav- 
ing been  born  April  22,  1820,  in  Upper  Salford  township. 
As  he  grew  to  manhood  he  was  employed  on  the  farm  and 
in  linen  weaving,  receiving  only  the  limited  education  which 
country  schools  at  that  time  afforded,  supplemented  by  faith- 
fid  study  at  home.  He  engaged  in  teaching  at  nineteen,  con- 
tinuing his  studies  in  order  to  perfect  himself.  He  served  in 
the  township  School  Board,  and  was  known  as  a  progressive 
and  earnest  director.  He  was  a  Whig,  and  later  a  Repub- 
lican, voting  for  every  candidate  of  those  parties  for  President, 
commencing  with    Clay  in    1844.       The  bent  of  his  mind  to- 


CASSEL  FAMILY.  101 

wards  authorship  early  displayed  itself,  and  he  has  been  for 
many  years  an  indefatigable  collector  of  facts  relating  to  local 
history  and  genealogy.  To  accomplish  this,  very  long 
journeys  have  been  necessary,  on  which  occasions  he  has 
incidentally  sold  many  copies  of  his  published  works.  He  is 
familiar  with  the  Pennsylvania  German,  English,  German  and 
Dutch  languages,  and  has  some  knowledge  of  Latin  and 
French. 

"  His  best-known  works  include  '  History  of  the  Mennon- 
ites,'  printed  in  German  as  well  as  English  ;  '  The  Cassel 
Family,'  '  The  Kolb  or  Kulp  Family,'  and  '  The  Rittenhouse 
Family.'  The  last  three  are  mainly  genealogical.  He  is  a 
direct  descendant  of  William  Rittenhouse,  the  first  Mennonite 
Bishop  in  America. 

"  Mr.  Cassel  has  been  honored  by  the  Mennonite  Church, 
to  whose  faith  he  adheres.  In  1893  he  was  a  delegate  to  the 
Parliament  of  Religions  at  Chicago.  He  has  been  active  in 
Sunday  school  work. 

"He  married,  February  16,  1845,  Elizabeth  Kolb,  of 
Harleysville,  who  is  a  few  years  younger  than  himself.  Their 
children  are  Simeon  K.  Cassel,  Skippackville  ;  Jonas  K.  Cas- 
sel, who  has  traveled  much  in  the  West,  and  is  now  in  Den- 
ver; and  Abel  K.  Cassel,  of  Philadelphia,  Secretary  and 
Manager  of  the  Dairymen's  Protective  Association,  and  Dep- 
uty Food  Commissioner.  All  three  are  married,  but  none, 
up  to  the  present  time,  have  given  any  particular  evidence  of 
inheriting  the  genealogical  and  historical  tastes  of  their  father. 

"  Mr.  Cassel  is  a  remarkable  man  in  many  respects. 
Practically  self-taught,  he  is  a  very  industrious  worker.  He 
has  collected  a  large  and  valuable  library.  It  contains  many 
old  and  rare  volumes  and  manuscripts.  Among  his  books  is 
a  volume  of  a  full  Polyglot  Testament  in  twelve  languages, 
printed  at  Ni'iremburg,  by  Elia  Hutteri,  in  1599,  there  being 
only  one  other  copy  in  existence  in  this  country — in  the  New 
York  Bible  House.  Physically,  he  is  robust  and  very  active 
for  a  man  of  his  years.  He  is  genial  and  kindly  in  disposition, 
his  deep  interest  in  literary  pursuits  having  operated  to  pre-

serve  him  to  a  green  old  age.  His  travels  in  connection  with 
his  genealogical  researches  have  no  doubt  contributed  to  the 
maintenance  of  the  apparently  perfect  health  which  he  en- 
joys. 

"  A  native  of  this  county,  Mr.  Cassel  continues  to  take  a 
lively  interest  in  everything  relating  to  it.  He  is  an  active 
member  of  the  Montgomery  County  Historical  Society,  and 
is  frequently  in  attendance  at  its  meetings. 

"  The  work  of  preparing  the  Cassel  history  was  at  first 
undertaken  by  Mr.  Cassel's  brother,  Samuel  K.  Cassel,  now 
deceased.  His  health  failing,  he  handed  overall  his  material 
to  Daniel,  who  consented  to  complete  it.  In  an  introductory 
note  to  the  work  he  says  : 

"  '  We  present  the  history  of  an  ancestry  whereof  we  are 
justly  proud  and  whom  we  ever  delight  to  honor.  We  pre- 
sent the  history  of  a  people  whose  memory  posterity  may 
cherish  and  whose  virtues  the  world  may  well  emulate.  Every 
man,  every  hour  of  his  life,  whether  consciously  or  uncon- 
sciously, is  making  history,  and  either  that  history  is  to  his 
credit  or  it  is  not.  May  the  Cassel  posterity  ever  bear  this 
truth  in  their  hearts  and  so  live  that  the  history  of  the  future 
shall  be  to  them  an  honor  and  a  blessing.' 

"  Mr.  Cassel  is  a  fine  specimen  of  the  race  from  which  he 
has  sprung.  Plain,  practical  and  unassuming  in  manner,  he 
illustrates  by  his  long  and  useful  life  the  advantage  of  the 
practice  of  the  sturdy  virtues  inherited  from  a  long  line  of 
Montgomery  county  Mennonite  ancestors."

Board  of  Directors  of  said  road  for  a  number  of  years,  until  his 
health  failed,  in  consequence  of  which  he  resigned.  He  has 
in  his  collection  many  old  and  rare  books  and  manuscripts, 
and  in  1855  he  bought  the  manuscript  and  had  printed  a 
small  work  entitled,  "  Der  Christliche  Sanger."  He  also 
started  a  genealogical  history  of  the  Cassel  family  with  the 
intention  of  having  it  printed,  but  on  account  of  his  health 
failing  he  handed  his  papers  over  to  his  brother,  Daniel  K.

leaves  a  widow,  who  is  the  sister  of  J.  W.  Klein,  Spring 
Mount.  Three  brothers  and  three  sisters  survive,  viz  :  Dr. 
R  K.  Keeler,  of  Harleysville;  James,  of  Phcenixville;  Josiah,

Elizabeth  Horning,  a  widow,  of  Cleveland,  Ohio.  Interment 
took  place  on  Tuesday,  at  the  Old  Goshenhoppen  Church, 
near  Salfordville.  Deceased  was  educated  at  Washing-ton 
Hall,  Trappe.  Graduating  as  M.  D.  in  1858,  he  located  at 
Springtown,  Bucks  county,  and  later  at  Hagersville.  From 
there  about  twenty-five  years  ago  he  located  in  Lancaster 
county,  where  he  practiced  very  successfully.  He  leaves 
considerable  of  an  estate.  It  is  probable  that  the  widow  will 
make  her  future  home  with  relatives  in  this  part  of  Mont-

Mr.  J.  K.  Harley,  a  resident  of  the  suburbs  of  Harleys- 
ville, is  a  descendant  of  the  family  from  which  the  village 
took  its  name.  He  is  a  man  of  genuine  business  qualifica- 
tions. He  invented  the  fine  round-lash  fly-nets  in  1850,  and 
sold  them  to  his  customers,  and  was  the  first,  however,  who, 
some  years  later,  put  them  into  market  by  wholesale.  He  is 
one  of  the  most  skillful  workmen  on  fine  harness  in  the 
country,  and  enjoys  a  high  reputation  as  a  gentleman  and 
successful  manufacturer  of  fine  hand-made  harness,  both  for 
c'ty  and  country  custom.  He  has  been  quite  successful  in 
life,  notwithstanding  his  ill  health  at  times,  and  the  loss  he 
has  sustained  on  several  occasions  by  insolvent  debtors.  As 
a  gentleman  and  a  Christian  he  is  sociable  and  is  kind  to  the 
poor,  and  is  always  ready  and  willing  to  lend  a  helping  hand. 
He  is  a  kind  and  good  neighbor,  always  ready  to  do  a  favor, 
and  is  esteemed  and  respected  by  his  neighbors.

prominent  preacher  in  the  Dunkard  or 
Brethren  church  at  Indian  creek,  near 
Harleysville,  and  a  son  of  Samuel  Har- 
ley, a  well-known  preacher  in  said 
church  ;  res.,  near  Harleysville,  Mont- 
gomery count v,  Pa. 

Rev.  Jonas  Harley  was  the  only  son  of  elder  Samuel 
Harley,  who  was  one  of  the  most  eloquent  speakers  in  the 
German  language  in  the  Brethren  or  Dunkard  Church.  The 
son  was  less  eloquent  than  the  father,  but  he  had  a  ready  de- 
livery, and  often  preached  long  sermons.  He  had  a  good 
memory  and  was  well  read  in  matters  of  Scripture.  He 
studied  much  on  things  that  are  not  clear,  and  was  called  a 
"  deep  man,"  having  a  deep  insight  into  the  deep,  mysterious 
things  of  God.  He  was  often  called  to  distant  places  to 
preach  at  funerals,  dedications,  and  on  special  occasions.  He 
had  no  ability  as  a  writer ;  was  a  farmer  by  occupation  ;  but 
was  a  natural  genius  as  a  wood-worker,  in  which  he  took 
much  delight.  He  died  in  1891,  in  the  seventy-fourth  year 
of  his  age.

mustered.  The  class  consisted  of  about  one  hundred  and 
seven.  They  started  May  1,  1890,  on  a  cruise,  touched  at 
Fayal,  May  16,  1890,  left  again  on  the  21st  for  Southampton  ;

seven  days,  and  were  driven  five  hundred  miles  out  of  their 
course,  even  above  New  York.  On  the  third  cruise,  they 
touched  the  Azore  Islands,  Lisbon,  Portugal,  and  Madeira, 
crossing  the  Atlantic  four  times,  and  visiting  the  West  Indies, 
before  the  age  of  seventeen  years.  On  December  11,  1891,

Gen.  No.  No. 


I        1 700  I     Julius,  or  Yelles  Casscl,  came  to  America  in 

the  ship  Friendship,  on  the  16th  of  Oc- 
tober, 1727,  with  his  brother,  John  Cas- 
sel,  after  a  passage  of  four  months  from 
Rotterdam. 

He  was  a  brother  of  Hupert,  who  came  in  1715  or  1720 
from  Kriesheim,  as  the  will  of  Hupert  Cassel  will  show.  This 
Hupert,  Julius,  or  Yelles,  and  John  were  grandsons  of  Yelles, 
the  preacher  at  Kriesheim,  which  is  beyond  a  doubt,  because 
they  came  from  the  same  town,  and  brought  many  of  the 
books  and  old  original  manuscripts  of  Yelles,  the  preacher, 
which  are  yet  in  the  possession  of  Abraham  H.  Cassel,  the 
antiquary  at  Harleysville,  Montgomery  county,  Pa.  After 
the  arrival  of  Yelles  or  Julius  Cassel  in  America  he  settled  in 
Skippack  township,  Montgomery  county,  Pa.,  and  lived  with 
his  brother  Hupert  in  Skippack,  then  called  "  Bebberstown," 
who  divided  his  farm  with  him,  and  at  once  erected  buildings 
thereon.  It  is  also  said  he  had  been  a  preacher  in  the  Men- 
nonite  church,  at  Skippack,  Montgomery  county,  Pa.  He 
died  about  1750.

Rev.  Abraham  Schwartz,  of  the  Men- 
nonite  church  at  Deep  Run,  Bucks 
county,  Pa. 

Soon  after  his  marriage  he  bought  a  farm  of  one  hundred 
and  six  acres  of  land  in  Hilltown,  Bucks  county,  Pa.  It  ap- 
pears he  was  a  man  of  limited  means.  The  greater  portion  of 
the  purchase  money  was  advanced  and  secured  on  first  mort- 
gage, on  the  delivery  of  the  deed  to  Hupert  Cassel,  by  Rev. 
Christian  Funk,  of  Franconia  township ;  the  mortgage,  how- 
ever, was  satisfied  in  the  year  1763.  Hupert  Cassel  was  a 
brother  to  Barbara,  wife  of  Rev.  Christian  Funk.  Again,  in 
the  year  1775,  this  same  Hupert  Cassel  bought  another  tract 
adjoining  the  aforesaid  one  hundred  and  six  acres,  containing 
about  seventy-two  acres,  of  Philip  Fluck  and  Christian  Kern.

CASSEL    FAMILY.  259 

REV.   CHRISTIAN    FUNK. 

Rev.  Christian  Funk,  son  of  Bishop  Heinrich  Funk,  was 
born  in  Franconia  township,  Montgomery  county,  Pa.,  1 73 1 , 
married  Barbara  Cassel,  daughter  of  Yelles  Cassel,  1757,  and 
was  called  to  the  ministry  in  Franconia,  about  the  same  time. 
Mr.  Funk  lived  in  the  township  of  Franconia,  near  Indian 
creek.  He  was  a  man  of  considerable  native  ability  and  force 
of  character  who  had  interested  himself  more  in  public  affairs 
than  his  ministerial  brethren ;  and  was  of  a  progressive  tone 
of  mind  that  was  in  advance  of  his  times  in  that  neighborhood. 

The  writers  of  our  local  history  have  hitherto  chosen  to 
ignore  the  fact  that  among  the  non-resistant  societies  there 
was  not  only  indisposition  to  engage  in  military  affairs,  which 
would  be  indeed  expected,  as  in  accordance  with  their  reli- 
gious principles,  but  that  large  portions  of  them  actually 
sympthized  with  Great  Britain,  hoped  for  the  success  of  the 
troops  of  King  George,  and  refused,  until  compelled,  to  pay 
taxes  to  the  American  authorities.  The  animosities  engend- 
ered by  this  state  of  things  have  happily  passed  away. 

Before  giving  the  account  of  Christian  Funk's  difficulties 
with  his  brethren,  it  may  be  as  well  to  notice  his  father, 
Henry  Funk,  one  of  the  leaders  of  his  people,  and  a  man  ev- 
idently of  cultifre  and  mental  powers  above  the  average  of 
those  who  came  with  him  to  Franconia.  Some  of  his  de- 
scendants even  may  not  be  aware  that  he  essayed  authorship 
and  wrote  several  books,  which  must  have  been  of  some  merit, 
or  they  would  not  have  received  the  attention  they  did,  or 
have  been  reprinted  so  many  times.  His  biographer,  Samuel 
W.  Pennypacker,  Esq.,  says  he  was  one  of  the  most  able  and 
enterprising  of  the  Mennonite  preachers,  and  was  long  a  Bishop. 

He  settled  on  Indian  creek,  Franconia  township,  in  1 7 19. 
He  was  ever  faithful  and  zealous  in  his  work,  and  did  much 
to  advance  the  interest  of  his  church.  He  wrote  a  book  upon 
baptism,  entitled  "  Ein  Spiegel  der  Taufe,"  published  by  Saur, 
in  1744,  which  has  passed  through  at  least  five  editions.  A 
more  ambitious  effort  was  the  "  Erklarung  einiger  hauptpunk- 


260 


CASSEL  FAMILY. 


ten  des  gesetzes,"  published  after  his  death,  by  Armbruster, 
in  1763.  This  book  was  reprinted  at  Biel,  Switzerland,  in 
1844,  and  at  Lancaster,  Pa.,  in  1862,  and  is  much  esteemed. 
He  and  Dillman  Kolb  supervised  the  translation  of  Van 
Braght's  "Martyr's  Mirror,"  from  the  Dutch  to  German. 
Henry  Funk  died  in  1760. 

About  the  year  1774  the  trouble  with  England  com- 
menced. Several  acts  had  been  passed  by  the  king,  one  of 
which  was  intended  to  raise  a  duty  or  tax  on  imported  mer- 
chandise. The  Americans  refused  their  consent ;  they  peti- 
tioned to  the  king  against  them,  but  no  notice  was  taken  of  it 
by  him.  Merchandise  was,  however,  sent  over  and  an  effort 
made  to  force  the  Americans  into  it.  This  circumstance  was 
the  cause  of  a  military  force  being  sent  over  from  England. 
An  army  was  now  raised  by  the  several  provinces  and  a  con- 
gress called.  Pennsylvania,  however,  at  this  stage  was  at 
rest,  not  being  under  the  king's  government.  This  province 
had  been  ceded  to  William  Penn  a  considerable  time  before 
on  account  of  services  rendered  to  the  Crown  by  his  father, 
Admiral  Penn,  who  had  also  money  advanced  to  the  Crown, 
and  after  his  death  it  fell  to  his  son,  William  Penn,  a  Quaker, 
who  caused  it  to  be  known  in  Europe  that  he  had  lands  to 
dispose  of  in  Pennsylvania,  that  liberty  of  conscience  was 
granted  to  all  who  settled  on  them ;  that  no*  man  was  com- 
pelled to  bear  arms  or  take  the  oath  on  account  of  which  our 
fathers  left  Europe  and  settled  in  this  wilderness. 

In  the  year  1776  a  meeting  was  held  in  Franconia  town- 
ship for  the  purpose  of  choosing  three  men,  who  were  to  at- 
tend a  delegation  from  other  parts  of  the  province  to  deliber- 
ate whether  Pennsylvania  should  join  the  other  provinces, 
which  were  already  engaged  in  the  war,  and  to  consent  and 
acknowledge  the  independence  from  England.  This  naturally 
brought  Christian  Funk  into  an  unnecessary  reflection — that 
our  liberty  might  be  endangered  ;  and  although  he  never  be- 
fore attended  a  township  meeting,  he  resolved  to  attend  this. 
On  his  arrival  he  found  that  nearly  the  whole  township  had 


CASSEL    FAMILY.  26 1 

assembled,  composed  of  nearly  two-thirds  Mennonites,  and 
the  remainder  people  from  other  churches,  and  others. 

Christian  Funk  expressed  his  opinion  that  the  Menno- 
nites could  not  interfere  in  tearing  themselves  loose  from  the 
king;  that  he  was  the  head  and  protector  of  Pennsylvania, 
and  we  should  submit  to  the  three  acts  because  we  acknowl- 
edged ourselves  a  defenceless  people. 

Pennsylvania,  however,  united  herself  with  her  sister 
provinces,  and  after  the  Declaration  of  Independence,  our 
former  constitution,  as  established  by  Penn,  was  done  away 
and  the  authority  of  our  former  Governor  and  Assembly  an- 
nulled. Soon  after  a  new  government  was  established  in 
Pennsylvania  (united  with  the  Congress),  under  which  ci' 
cumstances  the  liberty  granted  by  William  Penn  was  taken 
away  from  the  defenceless  people,  because  under  all  kings' 
governmens  no  liberty  of  conscience  was  established  by  their 
constitutions. 

At  this  time  the  new  government  was  established  in 
Pennsylvania.  But  the  Congress  and  American  government 
was  rejected  as  rebellious,  and  the  king  acknowledged  by 
many  of  Christian  Funk's  accusers,  under  the  idea  that  Con- 
gress would  soon  be  overpowered.  Thi_  Congress  prepared 
and  adopted  a  constitution  for  Pennsylvania  which  guaranteed 
to  all  religious  societies  liberty  of  conscience  in  worshiping 
Almighty  God  according  to  their  own  convictions,  as  was 
promised  by  William  Penn  to  our  forefarthers  in  Europe. 
This  Congress  also  laid  a  tax  of  three  pounds  and  ten  shil- 
lings, but  many  of  the  defenceless  people  opposed  the  paying 
of  this  tax,  and  believed  Congress  would  soon  be  over- 
powered ;  but  Christian  Funk  gave  it  as  his  opinion  that  they 
ought  to  pay  it,  and  this  caused  much  dissatisfaction  between 
them.  He  also  was  accused  for  expressing  himself  favorable 
to  Congress.  This  difference  of  opinion  caused  a  division  in 
the  church,  for  which  Christian  Funk  was  suspended  in 
about  1778.  After  the  close  of  the  war,  in  1783,  they  still 
kept  him   under  suspension.      He  made  several   attempts  to

effect  a  reunion  with  the  church,  even  as  late  as  1807,  DUt  it 
appears  no  reunion  could  have  been  brought  about.  For 
further  information  on  this  subject  see  a  small  work  entitled 
"A  Mirror  for  All  Mankind,"  written  by  Christian  Funk,  and 
"  History  of  Harleysville  and  Lower  Salford,"  by  James  Y. 
Heckler.  Christian  Funk  died  in  181 1,  aged  80  years,  and  is 
buried  in  Delp's  grave-yard,  in  Franconia,  and  his  wife  Bar- 
bara died  December  29,  1792.

4        1844  1  daughter     of     Abraham      Clemens,     of 

Lower  Salford,  Pa.,  June  6,  1805;  she 
was  born  May  25,  17&2,  and  died  Janu- 
ary 25,  1869;  and  Jacob  Kolb  died  Jan- 
uary 3,  1869,  only  22  days  apart. 

Both  are  buried  in  Waterloo  county,  Canada,  whither 
they  moved,  in  about  1800,  in  company  with  several  other 
families,  namely,  his  brother-in-'aw,  Abraham  Clemens,  and 
Jacob  Clemens.  They  took  up  land  and  settled  on  the  Grand 
river,  in  Waterloo  county,  Ontario.  They  went  into  the 
wilderness  about  five  miles  distant  from  any  settlement,  and 
began  to  clear  away  the  timber  and  build  houses.  They 
were  very  fortunate  in  their  undertaking  and  were  blessed 
with  this  world's  goods,  and  they  also  tried  to  live  so  as  to 
treasure  up  for  the  world  to  come.  The  Grand  Trunk  Rail- 
road now  runs  through  their  district,  and  the  city  of  Berlin  is 
their  principal  town 

Jacob  Kolb  was  a  Mennonite,  and  was  for  many  years  a 
deacon  in  the  Mennonite  church.  They  were  by  occupation 
farmers,  and  possessed  fine  farms.  They  died  at  an  advanced 
age,  all  highly  respected,  and  many  of  their  descendants  are 
yet  living  in  that  vicinity.

296  CASSEL  FAMILY. 

John  C.  Cassel,  third  son  of  John  B.  and  Catharine  Cas- 
sel,  was  born  in  Montgomery  county,  Pennsylvania,  Decem- 
ber 23,  1839.  He  received  his  education  in  the  township 
schools,  and  at  the  age  of  sixteen  was  apprenticed  to  a  car- 
penter, although  his  great  desire  was  to  study  medicine.  He 
remained  at  his  trade  until  he  was  twenty  years  of  age,  when 
he  came  to  Philadelphia.  While  here  the  difficulties  which 
caused  the  civil  war  were  agitating  the  people,  and  with  the 
breaking  out  of  the  civil  war  he  was  one  of  the  first  to  enlist 
in  response  to  the  call  for  volunteers  for  three  months.  At 
the  expiration  of  the  three  months  he  reenlisted  for  three 
years  as  Corporal  of  Co.  G,  Fifth  Pennsylvania  Cavalry,  and 
finally,  on  November  21,  1864,  Governor  Andrew  G.  Curtin 
commissioned  him  as  Lieutenant  of  the  same  company,  which 
position  he  maintained  until  the  close  of  the  war.  He  was  a 
man  of  amiable  disposition,  and  was  much  beloved  by  the  men 
of  his  company. 

He  married  Isadora  R.  Garrison,  a  public  school  teacher 
of  Philadelphia,  January  24,  1867.  The  issue  of  this  marriage 
was  four  children,  Clement  C,  Harriet  Florence,  Lydia,  and 
Alma  B. 

His  constitution  was  undermined  by  exposure  in  the 
army,  where  he  contracted  malaria,  which  developed  into  val- 
vular affection  of  the  heart,  from  which  he  died  January  19, 
1 881. 

He  was  an  active  member  of  Post  2,  G.  A.  R.,  and  was 
buried  at  Deerfield,  N.  J.,  January  25th,  with  military  honors.

Amos  H.  Cassel,  son  of  Joseph  and  Rebecca  Cassel, 
was  born  June  23,  1830.  In  his  youth  he  received  an  ordi- 
nary common  school  education.  Later  he  entered  Tree- 
mount  Seminary,  at  Norristown,  Pa.,  under  the  care  of  Rev. 
Samuel  Aaron,  where  he  served  some  time  as  assistent 
teacher.  In  later  years  he  entered  Dartmouth  College,  where 
in  1857  he  graduated  with  high  distinction.  He  died  March 
2,  1858,  of  pulmonary  disease,  at  Norritonville,  Montgomery 
county,  Pa.,  in  the  28th  year  of  his  age.  His  last  request  was 
that  Rev.  Samuel  Aaron  should  preach  his  funeral  sermon. 
The  deceased  while  under  the  kind  and  fostering  care  of  his 
Alma  Mater,  made  use  of  his  literary  advantages  with  faith- 
fulness and  diligence.  Always  educated  in  sight  of  models 
of  the  strictest  purity  and  integrity,  and  under  a  domestic 
training  which  inculcated  the  purest  virtue  both  of  heart  and 
mind,  he  became  exemplary  in  all  his  actions  and  manifested 
an  uncommonly  high  appreciation  of  justice,  honor  and  truth. 
In  his  relations  of  life  he  was  sprightly  and  cheerful,  and  his 
varied  attainments,  his  fine  conversational  powers,  his  evident 
desire  to  please,  and,  above  all,  his  exceeding  kindness  of 
heart,  made  him  beloved  by  all  who  knew  him.  He  was  a 
man  of  great  talents,  and  wrote  many  articles  for  the  press, 
especially  during  the  campaigns  of  Col.  Fremont  and  Horace 
Greeley,  being  an  active  Republican.  He  was  also  a  very 
good  poet.  The  following  are  specimens  of  his  poems,  as 
originally  written  by  him  on  different  occasions.

WINTER. 


BY    AMOS    H.    CASSEL. 


Again  the  trees  their  leaves  have  cast, 

And  verdure  left  the  fields, 
To  welcome  winter's  shrilling  blast — 

And  stormy  days  it  yields. 

The  hills  look  drear,  with  leafless  shrubs, 
Which  bore  the  summer  flowers; 

And  valleys,  destitute  of  buds, 
Which  opened  after  showers. 

The  woodbine  blooms  not  in  the  grove, 

Nor  rose  tree  with  its  flower; 
The  birds  have  ceased  their  songs  of  love, 

To  seek  a  warmer  bower. 

No  more  the  busy  bee  does  roam 

To  seek  the  tender  flower; 
But,  well  contented,  stays  at  home 

Within  its  humble  tower. 

The  thunder  bursts  not  from  the  clouds — 

No  lightning  flashes  near; 
But  clouds  are  dressed  in  snowy  shrouds, 

To  tell  that  winter's  here. 

The  wandering  moon  looks  pale  with  cold, 

While  rising  in  the  East; 
And  twinkling  stars,  around  her  hold 

Their  nightly  winter  ease. 

No  more  the  milkmaid's  song  is  heard, 

In  passing  to  her  task; 
And  silent  now  is  every  bird, 

That  dreads  the  winter  blast. 

But,  cold  winter  !     Has  it  no  song 

To  cheer  the  singing  maid  ? 
While  cold  and  chilling  snow  storms  throng 

With  snow  each  lawn  and  glade  ? 

Yes!  dreary  winter  has  its  charms. 

As  well  as  summer  days; 
While  summer  birds  take  their  alarms, 

The  snow  birds  chirp  their  lays. 


CASSEL    FAMILY.  3OI 

The  merry  hunter's  song  is  heard 

Upon  the  snowy  hills; 
While  shrewd  and  cunning  Reynard 

Takes  refuge  near  the  rills. 

Then,  too,  the  bells  are  ringing 

O'er  valley  and  o'er  dale; 
And  the  jolly  school -boys  singing 

Their  pleasant  winter's  hail. 

The  lengthy  evenings  pass  away 

By  reading  some  good  book; 
And  thus,  cold  winter's  night  and  day, 

Pass  with  a  merry  look. 

Norritonville,  November,  /Sj2. 


ON  THE  DEATH  OF  FRANKLIN  BEYER. 


That  great  hand  again  has  shaken 

The  blooming  tree  of  time; 
And  a  blossom  has  been  taken, 

Just  in  its  youthful  prime. 

Ah  !  sportive  ones,  it-  shone  among 

Its  playful,  jocund  mates; 
But,  happy  days  were  not  prolonged, 

'Twas  touched  by  deadly  fates. 

For,  long  the  canker  preyed  upon 

Its  weak,  enfeebled  germ, 
Before  it  learned  how  far  'twas  gone, 

To  meet  its  fatal  term. 

Fallen  !     At  length  it  lifeless  lies, 

While  others  gaze  upon — 
Conjecturing,  that  the  hand,  All- wise, 

Will  touch  them,  too,  ere  long. 

Rest,  then,  thou  once  loved  blossom,  rest; 

While  others  mourn  for  thee, 
That  swaying  hand  has  loved  thee  best — ■ 

Hence,  plucked  thee  from  the  tree. 

Weep  not,  parents  blossoms,  for  it 
Which  has  finished  its  course. 

That  kind  hand,  in  heaven,  will  permit 
A  blossom  pure  as  yours. 


302  CASSEL  FAMILY. 


Truly,  its  absence  much  is  felt 

By  all  that  round  it  were; 
But,  think  that  hand  has  justly  dealt, 

Which  called  it  from  its  care.  A.    H.    C. 


ON  THE  DEATH  OF  THE  DAUGHTER  OF  OLIVER  AND 

ANN  DRESHER. 


She's  gone  !  ah  !  she's  gone  to  her  home, 

Where  troubles  are  no  more; 
She's  gone  where  her  friend  had  gone 

A  month  or  two  before. 

Ah  !  many  happy  days  she  spent 

With  her  dear  friends  on  earth; 
But  soon  the  voice  of  death  was  sent, 

To  call  her  from  her  mirth. 

She  faded,  like  the  lily  white, 

That  drooped  at  rising  sun — 
When,  smitten  by  a  frosty  night, 

Its  blooming  time  was  done. 

An  only  brother's  left  to  mourn 

Her  absence  here  below; 
And  parents  dear  are  now  forlorn — 

Oh  !   daughter,  didst  thou  go  ? 

Her  life  was  pious  in  this  world, 

Which  all  her  friends  may  know, 
That  had  occasion  to  behold 

Her  wish  of  good  to  do.. 

And  now,  in  yonder  world,  she  sings 

The  praises  of  her  God; 
Who  bid  her  leave  this  world  of  sin, 

And  take  her  happy  lot. 

Why  weep  ye,  then,  dear  friends,  for  her 

Whose  course  on  earth  is  done  ? 
'Twas  God  the  vital  cord  did  serve, 

And  took  her  to  his  home.  A.    H.   C. 

Nortitonville,  April,  f8jj. 

The  above  was  inserted  at  the  request  of  a  sister,  now 
also  deceased,  in  whose  possession  all  the  original  papers  were 
left  after  his  decease.

5       2102  1     Henry   Kulp,  b.    September    16,    1812;    d., 

aged  82  years,  2  months,  24  days ;  m 
Elizabeth  Landis  ;  res.,  near  Salfordville, 
Pa.  He  was  a  deacon  in  the  Mermon- 
ite  congregation,  at  Salford. 

A  horrible  and  fatal  accident  happened  to  Henry  C. 
Kulp,  of  near  Salfordville,  on  Thursday  afternoon,  December 
13,  1894.  He  was  burning  brush  in  his  son's  field,  and  it  is 
supposed  that  the  fire  was  spreading  too  much  and  he  tried 
to  trample  it  out,  when  his  pants  caught  fire  ;  and  in  going 
backwards  about  twenty  feet  he  fell  over  a  log,  where  his 
body  was  found  burned  almost  to  a  crisp.  All  his  clothing, 
except  his  hat  and  shoes,  were  burned  off  the  body,  and  the 
body  presented  a  horrible  sight.  The  deceased  was  not 
missed  till  toward  evening,  and  then  a  search  was  instituted 
and  his  son's  hired  man  found  him  by  the  light  of  a  lantern. 
The  coat  was  found  near  by  also  somewhat  burned.  The 
ground  where  the  body  was  found  showed  marks  that  the 
deceased  struggled  terribly  with  the  fire-fiend  before  death 
came.  Squire  W.  S.  Slotterer  held  an  inquest,  and  the  follow- 
ing composed  the  Coroner's  jury:  Dr.  P.  O.  Wickert,  H.  R. 
Gabel,  M.  M.  Kremer,  Jere.  S.  Shelly,  Henry  Weber  and  P. 
R.  Cressman.  The  verdict  rendered  was  accidental  death. 
The  surviving  children  are  Henry,  with  whom  he  lived ;  Mrs. 
Henry  Garges,  of  Elroy  ;  Mrs.  C.  S.  Bergey,  of  Bergey.  The 
deceased  was  a  quiet  and  highly  esteemed  citizen,  and  was 
almost  40  years  a  deacon  in  the  Salford  Mennonite  congrega- 
tion. He  was  82  years,  2  months  and  24  days  of  age.  The 
funeral  was  held  last  Sunday,  and  the  remains  were  buried  at 
the  Salford  Mennonite  meeting  house  in  the  presence  of  a 
very  large  concourse  of  people.  Revs.  Henry  S.  Bower  and 
Jacob  Moyer  officiated.     Children  :

O  !  du  theure,  theure  Seele, 

Must  von  uns  schon  scheiden  ab, 

Zwar  noch  Jung  in  Bliith  der  Jahren, 

1st  gebrochen  schon  der  Stab. 

O  !  wie  schmerzliches  Adje 

Ruft  die  Stimme  uns  alhie, 

O  !  wie  blutet  unser  Herze 

Durch  so  viele  Angst  und  Schmerzen. 

Ach  so  fahre,  fahre  Frohlich 
Zu  dem  Herr  der  Herrlichkeit ! 
Wo  der  reine  Hirrimelskonig 
Fiir  die  Seinen  hat  bereit 
Wo  die  Freude  nie  auf  hort ; 
Und  die  ruh  auf  ewig  wahrt, 
Und  die  Engel  immer  singen 
Amen,  Amen  wird  erklingen.

Clement  Comly  Cassel,  only  son  of  John  C.  and  Isadora 
R.  Cassel,  was  born  March  16,  1869,  at  Boyerstown,  Berks 
county,  Pa.,  and  received  his  education  in  the  public  schools 
of  Philadelphia,  where  he  early  developed  genius  and  artistic 
talent.  When  he  was  seventeen  years  of  age  he  apprenticed 
himself  to  wood  carving,  at  the  same  time  taking  a  course  at 
the  Spring  Garden  Institute,  Philadelphia;  at  eighteen  he  gave 
up  wood  carving  and  took  up  stone,  with  a  desire  to  become 
an  architectural  sculptor  ;  at  nineteen  he  left  Philadelphia  and 
went  to  New  York  and  took  up  a  course  of  study  at  Pratt's 
Institute.  At  the  present  time  there  are  many  large  buildings, 
such  as  the  World,  Waldorf  Hotel,  churches  and  cathedrals, 
which  show  his  artistic  taste  and  workmanship.  He  married 
Eugenia  M.  Lloyd,  September  29,  1892,  and  resides  at  Bryn 
Mawr  Yonkers,  N.  Y.  He  has  one  daughter,  Gladys,  born 
October  11,  1895,  at  Yonkers,  N.  Y.

William  Price  was  born  August  29,  1789,  on  part  of  the 
ancient  homestead,  and  early  in  life,  when  working  with  his 
father  on  the  farm,  manifested  an  eager  desire  for  knowledge, 
occupying  all  spare  moments  in  reading  and  other  studies. 
He  had  made  great  progress  in  learning,  when,  in  his  six- 
teenth year,  he  was  apprenticed  to  the  tailoring  trade,  which 
he  followed  until  arriving  at  manhood.  Then  he  was  re- 
quested to  take  charge  of  a  school,  in  which  employment  he 
continued  for  several  years.  In  18 13,  when  twenty-four  years 
old,  he  was  married  to  Mary  Reiff,  daughter  of  John  Reiff, 
and  commenced  farming.  William  and  Mary  Price  had  ten 
children  born  to  them,  seven  of  whom  are  living — Mary,  wife 
of  John  Fisher,  of  Pottstown  ;  Timothy,  residing  at  Annville, 
Lebanon  county,  now  deceased  ;  Elizabeth  intermarried  with 
Samuel  H.  Cassel,  of  Harleysville,  Pa. ;  Sophia  married  to 
Ignatius  Karn,  of  Limerick ;  Magdalen,  wife  of  Abraham 
Heckler,  of  Franconia  ;  Catharine,  living  in  Philadelphia  ;  and 
Benjamin,  of  Springfield,  Bucks  county. 

In  1814,  Rev.  William  W.  Price  was  elected  to  the  min- 
istry, and  about  1830  was  advanced  to  the  office  of  elder  or 
bishop,  which  position  he  filled  with  untiring  zeal  and  un- 
flinching faithfulness  until  the  day  of  his  death,  which  occurred 
August  7,  1849,  in  his  sixtieth  year.  He  was  for  many  years 
an  esteemed  elder  of  the  Brethren  Church  at  Indian  creek. 
Of  him  it  may  well  be  said,  "  He  preached  the  word  ;  was 
instant  in  season  and  out  of  season,"  sowing  the  divine  seed 
on  every  side.  Besides  the  care  of  a  large  family,  and  a  faith- 
ful discharge  of  duties  to  his  charge  at  home,  he  traveled 
much  as  an  evangelist,  visiting  surrounding  churches  and 
assisting  them  at  communion  seasons.  Occasionally  he  took 
missionary  journeys  to  other  states,  once  at  least  through 
Ohio  before  modern  facilities  of  travel  had  been  established, 
going  in  his  own  conveyance  and   at   his   own   expense,  thus

practically  enforcing  the  precept,  "  Freely  ye  have  received, 
freely  give. 

As  he  was  a  preacher  of  more  than  ordinary  gifts,  he 
answered  many  calls  from  outside  his  own  people  to  labor  in 
the  work  of  the  ministry.  He  had  a  powerful  voice,  retentive 
memory,  a  thorough  understanding  of  the  science  of  music, 
and  sang  with  great  compass  and  power.  He  was  also  a  poet 
of  no  mean  ability,  and  wrote  a  number  of  hymns  and  several 
poems  of  considerable  length,  all  in  German.  He  also  had 
published  at  Ephrata,  in  1838,3  collection  of  German  hymns, 
many  of  them  being  translations  by  him  of  popular  English 
ones,  with  a  large  number  of  his  own  composing.  He  wrote 
a  poem  of  some  length  on  the  promises  to  the  patriarch 
Abraham,  and  another  on  the  history  of  the  prophecies,  which 
have  never  been  published.

spent  his  boyhood  days  on  his  father's  farm,  and  had  only  the 
limited  advantages  of  the  country  schools  of  that  time.  He 
obtained  his  Alma  Mater  under  Rev.  Henry  S.  Rodenbaugh. 
In  1848  he  and  his  father  founded  "  Freeland  Seminary,"  an

CASSEL   FAMILY.  4 1  I 

Freeland  G.  Hobson  was  born  in  Upper  Providence 
township,  Montgomery  county,  October  13,  1857.  He  took 
a  full  classical  course  in  Uivsinus  College,  graduating  in  the 
class  1876.  He  then  entered  the  law  office  of  his  uncle, 
Jacob  V.  Gotwalts,  at  that  time  District  Attorney  of  Mont- 
gomery county,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar,  October  1, 
1880.  He  has  been  very  successful  in  his  profession,  con- 
fining himself  to  the  civil  practice,  although  in  1890  he  suc- 
cessfully defended  Antonio  Frederick,  charged  with  murder. 
He  is  at  present  Solicitor  for  Collegeville  borough,  Ursinus 
College,  and  a  number  of  prominent  corporations. 

He  is  Treasurer  and  Trust  Officer  of  The  Norristown 
Title,  Trust  and  Safe  Deposit  Company,  having  held  this 
position  since  its  institution  in  1888,  and  largely  to  his  ability 
is  due  the  proud  position  occupied  by  this  institution  to-day. 

He  is  founder  and  publisher  of  the  Montgomery  County 
Law  Reporter,  which  is  now  in  its  twelfth  volume.  He  is  the 
author  of"  History  of  Providence  Township,"  "  Montgomery 
County  Centennial,"  and  has  written  considerable  on  histori- 
cal subjects,  on  which  subject  he  has  also  lectured  on  several 
occasions. 

In  1893  Mr  Hobson  was  State  President  of  the  Patriotic 
Order  Sons  of  America,  an  organization  numbering  over 
50,000  members  in  Pennsylvania  alone. 

He  is  Treasurer  of  the  Valley  Forge  Memorial  Asso- 
ciation, Secretary  of  the  Riverside  Cemetery,  Treasurer  of 
the  Collegeville  Ice  Manufacturing  Company,  and  of  "  The 
Keystone  Telegraph  and  Telephone  Company."  He  is  one 
of  the  directors  of  Ursinus  College,  Collegeville,  in  which  he 
has  taken  a  very  active  interest. 

Mr.  Hobson  is  a  Republican,  but  has  never  sought  polit- 
ical office,  although  he  is  at  present  President  of  the  School 
Board  of  Collegeville  borough. 

He  is  an  elder  of  Trinity  Reformed  Church,  Collegeville, 
and  has  served  as  delegate  to  the  Classes,  Synods  and  Gen- 
eral Synod  of  the  Reformed  Church  in  the  United  States. 


412  CASSEL    FAMILY. 

In  all  these  bodies  he  has  taken  a  very  active  part,  and 
on  several  occasions  argued  some  most  important  appeals  in 
these  ecclasiastical  judicatories. 

He  has  served  as  President  of  the  Schuylkill  Valley 
Union  of  Christian  Endeavor,  and  has  been  upon  the  pro- 
gram of  two  international  Christian  Endeavor  conventions, 
one  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  in  1894,  and  again  at  Boston,  1895.

THE  JOHANNES  (JOHN)  CASSEL  FAMILY. 


Individual  Family 

Gen.  No.  No. 


I  i  i     Johannes  Kassel,  or  John   Cassel,  came  to 

America  with  his  brother  Julius,  or  Yel- 
les,  in  the  ship  Friendship,  from  Rotter- 
dam, on  the  16th  of  October,  1727,  and 
they  stayed  with  their  brother  Hupert, 
in  Skippack,  Montgomery  county,  Pa., 
for  a  short  time. 

John  then  moved  to  Lancaster  county,  Pa.,  and  settled  in 
the  vicinity  of  Columbia,  in  Hempfield  township.  Hupert, 
Yelles  and  John  were  brothers,  and  also  grandsons  of  Yelles, 
the  Mennonite  preacher  at  Kriesheim,  Germany,  between 
Manheim  and  Worms,  in  the  Palatinate  (Pfalz).  And  as  it 
appears  from  the  records  that  the  name  "  Abraham"  was  so 
common  among  them,  and  each  of  the  brothers  had  a  son 
Abraham,  we  are  led  to  believe  that  their  father's  name  might 
have  been  Abraham,  and  a  son  of  Yelles,  the  preacher  at 
Kriesheim.  They  all  came  from  Kriesheim,  and  were  mem- 
bers of  the  Mennonite  church.  They  brought  with  them 
many  valuable  papers,  manuscripts  and  poems,  written  by 
Yelles  Cassel,  at  Kriesheim.  Many  of  them  are  yet  in  the 
library  of  Abraham  H.  Cassel,  at  Harleysville,  Montgomery 
county,  Pa. 

Alexander  Harris,  in  his  Biographical  History  of  Lan- 
caster County,  Pa.,  says  :  "  Abraham  Cassel  and  an  elder  bro- 
ther emigrated  to  Lancaster  county  in  about  1750."  I  made 
a  thorough  search,  and  find   that  no  Abraham  Cassel    left 


430  CASSEL  FAMILY. 

Montgomery  or  Philadelphia  county  at  that  time.  The  first 
Abraham  was  a  son  of  Hupert  Cassel,  was  born  in  1734,  lived, 
died,  is  buried  at  Salford  Mennonite  meeting  house,  and  was 
my  great-grandfather  (Daniel  K.  Cassel).  There  is  no  doubt 
but  what  the  Abraham  Cassel  mentioned  by  A.  Harris,  who 
located  with  his  elder  brother  at  Sporting  Hill,  in  Rapho 
township,  was  a  son  of  John,  who  left  his  brothers  Hupert 
and  Yelles  at  Skippack,  Montgomery  county,  Pa.,  and  settled 
in  the  vicinity  of  Columbia,  in  Hempfield  township,  Lancaster 
county,  Pa. 

I  have  also  examined  the  deed  given  by  Deborah  Norris, 
of  Philadelphia,  to  Abraham  Cassel,  of  Hempfield  township, 
county  of  Lancaster,  for  560  acres  of  land,  dated  the  29th 
day  of  August,  1747,  and  is  recorded  in  Book  G,  Volume  5, 
Page  355.  etc-  The  patent  for  that  tract  is  dated  I  day,  4 
mo.  June,  1734.  Recorded  at  Philadelphia  in  Patent  Book 
A,  Volume  6,  page  327.  Daniel  Kolb  Cassel.

Sporting  Hill  homestead.  There  may  be  more,  but  one  leaf 
is  torn  out  and  lost,  so  I  was  unable  to  ascertain  what  it

Marietta,  Lancaster  county,  Pa. ;  m.  Mary 
Jane  Stahl,  who  was  b.  July  6,  1826. 
He  died  December  28,  1895. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  the  youngest  child  of 
Henry  Cassel,  and  was  born  January  28,  18 10,  on  a  farm,  the 
buildings  of  which  are  standing  near  the  eastern  boundary  of 
the  borough  of  Marietta,  Lancaster  county,  Pa.,  and  where 
he  now  resides. 

When  he  was  quite  young  his  father  sold  forty-five  acres 
of  his  farm,  which  was  laid  out  into  town  lots,  for  fifty-eight 
thousand  five  hundred  dollars. 

Soon  after  this,  by  the  failure  of  the  Marietta  and  Sus- 
quehanna Trading  Company,  his  father  lost  the  greater  por- 
tion of  his  fortune,  and  on  account  of  this  failure,  when  he 
was  eleven  or  twelve  years  of  age  we  find  him  working  at  a 
small  country  store,  at  Bainbridge,  Lancaster  county,  where 
he  remained  about  three  years.  His  early  education  was 
under  the  care  of  Messrs.  Jefferies  and  Rankin,  most  of  his 
studying  being  done  after  the  store  closed  at  night. 

At  the  age  of  fifteen  he  was  apprenticed  to  a  hatter,  Mr. 
David  Ferrees,  where  he  acquired  the  trade  in  two  years. 
After  working  a  year  or  more  at  journey  work,  he  and  Mr. 
John  Barr  formed  a  partnership,  bought  the  business  and 
carried  it  on  for  a  number  of  years,  when  he  bought  Mr  Barr 
out  and  carried  it  on  himself  for  a  number  of  years  more,  and 
finally  sold  the  business  to  Mr.  John  Crull. 

In  1834,  when  the  public  school  system  was  introduced 
into  Pennsylvania,  he  was  one  of  the  first  school  director 
elected  in  his  district,  and  did  much  to  overcome  the  oppo- 
sition of  having  a  school  tax  levied  upon  the  people.  He 
served  in  this  capacity  off  and  on  for  ten  years.

CASSEL    FAMILY.  437 

During  the  winter  of  1836  the  Marietta  Lyceum  was  or- 
ganized, in  which  he  took  a  very  active  part,  and  was  an  at- 
tendant for  many  years. 

In  1837  he  was  elected  to  the  State  Legislature.  It  was 
during-  this  term  that  the  famous  "  Buckshot  War"  occurred. 
During  this  session  a  number  of  important  banking  laws  were 
passed. 

He  with  a  number  of  others  organized  the  Susquehanna 
Institute  (a  stock  company),  as  a  school  of  higher  education, 
which  was  afterwards  sold  and  conducted  as  a  private  school. 

During  the  year  1840  he  took  an  active  part  in  the  or- 
ganization and  incorporation  of  the  Pioneer  Fire  Company,  in 
which  organization  he  was  an  officer  until  1868;  fourteen 
years  of  this  time  he  was  Treasurer. 

He  also  took  an  active  part  in  the  organization  of  the 
Marietta  and  Lancaster  Turnpike  Company,  of  which  he  is 
President. 

In  1847  he  married  Mary  Jane  Stahl,  the  eldest  daughter 
■  of  Jacob   Stahl,  by   whom  he  had   seven  children,  of  which 
only  two,  Henry  Burd  and  George  Lincoln,  survive. 

During  the  year  1854  he  was  one  of  the  number  who 
formed  a  stock  company  and  edited  and  published  for  a  few 
years  a  weekly  paper  called  "  The  Mariettian."  This  was  after- 
wards sold,  and  is  known  at  present  as  "  The  Marietta  Regis- 
ter." He  also  served  during  the  period  occupied  in  building 
the  Presbyterian  Church  as  a  member  of  the  building  com- 
mittee In  1865  he  was  ordained  as  an  elder  in  the  Presby- 
terian Church,  in  which  capacity  he  continues  to  serve. 

After  disposing  of  his  hatting  business,  he  entered  the 
lumber  business,  in  which  he  is  interested  at  the  present  time 

Many  years  he  served  as  a  member  of  the  town  council, 
until  he  refused  to  allow  his  name  to  go  before  the  people  for 
re-election.  In  politics  he  was  first  an  Anti-Mason,  then  a 
Whig,  until  the  organization  of  the  Republican  party,  when 
he  became  an  adherent  to  the  principles  of  that  great  party. 

Thus  we  find  him,  a  man  nearly  eighty-five  years  of  age, 
after  a  busy,  useful  and  prosperous  career,  retiring  from  active

business,  in  fair  health,  to  a  life  of  well  earned  leisure  and  rest. 

A  Friend. 

The  following  is  taken  from  the  Marietta  Times  : 

DEATH    OF    A    RESPECTED    AND    HONORED    CITIZEN. 

Hon.  Abram  Neff  Cassel,  senior  member  of  the  lumber 
firm  of  A.  X.  Cassel  &  Son,  died  on  Saturday  morning,  De 
cembcr  28,  1895,  at  his   residence  on  Third  street,  death   re- 
sulting   from   the   infirmities   of  age,  aged    85   years   and    I  I 
months. 

Deceased  was  born  in  Marietta,  January  28,  1 8 10,  and 
was  a  son  of  the  late  Henry  Cassel,  one  of  the  pioneers  in  the 
lumber  trade  on  the  Susquehanna  river,  and  who  was  at  one 
time  the  owner  of  the  ground  on  which  the  eastern  part  of 
Marietta  now  stands. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch,  at  the  age  of  eleven  years 
left  school  and  accepted  a  position  as  clerk  in  a  store  at  Bain- 
bridge.  At  the  end  of  three  years  he  returned  to  Marietta 
and  became  an  apprentice  to  a  hatter,  which  business  he  in  a 
very  short  time  learned,  and  aftei wards  carrying  it  on  suc- 
cessfully himself  for  a  long  time.  During  this  time  he  pur- 
sued his  studies  under  direction  of  teachers  employed  by  him- 
self and  his  companions,  who  availed  themselves  of  evening 
hours,  their  only  leisure  time.  Mr.  Cassel  made  very  rapid 
progress  in  his  studies,  and  was  noted  for  his  fondness  for 
logic  and  literature. 

In  1848  Mr.  Cassel  retired  from  the  hatter's  business  and 
engaged  in  the  lumber  trade,  in  which  he  was  remarkably 
successful.  He  continued  the  business  up  to  the  present 
time,  though  for  several  years  past  he  did  not  give  it  his  act- 
ive personal  attention.  In  1834  he  was  elected  one  of  the 
first  school  directors  under  the  common  school  law  of  the 
state,  having  been  an  earnest  and  active  advocate  of  the  sys- 
tem.     He  continued  director  until  1845. 

In  1837  he  was  elected  to  the  Legislature  on  the  Whig 
ticket  and  served  during  the  sessions  of  1 837,  1 838  and  1 839, 
when  he  aided  in  framing  important  laws  under  the  Constitu- 


CASSEL    FAMILY.  439 

tion  of  1S38.  He  also  served  for  a  number  of  years  in  the 
Borough  Council,  and  was  looked  upon  as  the  leading  mem- 
ber of  council. 

In  politics  he  was  a  staunch  Whig,  but  since  1856  has 
been  an  ardent  Republican.  In  county  conventions  and  in 
local  political  meetings  he  was  long  a  prominent  figure.  He 
was  foremost  in  all  matters  relating  to  the  welfare  of  the  bor- 
ough, a  strong  advocate  of  the  public  schools,  and  was  one  of 
the  strongest  debaters  in  Marietta  Lyceum  of  Natural  His- 
tory. Being  an  exact  and  profound  thinker,  though  not  flu- 
ent, he  generally  carried  his  point  by  his  logical  arguments. 
He  was  one  of  the  incorporators  of  the  Lancaster  and  Mari- 
etta Turnpike  Company,  and  was  its  president  until  the  last 
few  years,  when  he  refused  to  act,  but  remained  a  member  of 
the  board  until  his  death.  He  was  at  the  time  of  his  death  a 
member  of  the  board  of  the  Marietta  C  emetery  Association. 

Originally  he  was  in  religious  faith  a  Mennonite,  but  in 
1848  joined  the    Marietta   Presbyterian  Church,  of  which  he 
•  was  a  Ruling  Elder  for  over  thirty  years. 

In  1847  Mr.  Cassel  united  in  marr  age  with  Miss  Mary 
Jane  Stahl,  daughter  of  the  late  Jacob  Stahl,  and  she  and  two 
of  their  seven  children  survive — Henrv  Burd  Cassel,  his 
father's  partner  and  the  present  Republican  County  Chair- 
man, and  Dr.  George  Lincoln  Cassel,  who  has  offices  in  Lan- 
caster and  Philadelphia. 

Mr.  (  assel  was  a  remarkable  man  in  many  ways  Though 
he  quit  school  when  quite  young,  he  did  not  abandon  study, 
but  continued  it  even  when  pressed  with  other  duties.  He 
was  a  reader  of  the  latest  solid  literature  of  the  dav,  with 
which  he  made  himself  master.  Even  when  he  arrived  at  the 
age  when  men  usually  retire  from  business,  he  kept  steadily 
at  work,  managing  his  extensive  lumber  business  and  other 
interests.  He  was  a  man  of  a  sunny,  genial  nature,  social  in 
his  habits,  and  in  the  business  world  was  regarded  as  pos- 
sessing sterling  integrity.  He  had  strong  convictions  and 
lived  up  to  them.  His  counsel  and  advice  was  frequently 
sought,  and  was  always  cheerfully  given.      He  was  the  friend 


44°  CASSEL  FAMILY. 

of  everybody.  He  was  exceedingly  generous,  and  the  poor 
of  the  town  have  lost  their  best  friend.  In  his  death  Marietta 
has  lost  a  valuable  citizen. 

The  funeral  took  place  on  Tuesday  afternoon,  from  his 
late  residence,  and  was  largely  attended.  Rev.  A.  T.  Stew- 
art, pastor  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  this  place,  and  Rev. 
John  McElmoyle,  formerly  pastor  in  this  place,  now  pastor  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church  of  Elkton,  Maryland,  officiated.  In- 
terment was  made  in  Marietta  Cemetery.  The  pall-bearers 
were  three  elders  of  the  Church,  S.  P.  Sterrett,  John  Swiler 
and  Joseph  L.  Brandt,  and  three  deacons,  Abram  Summy,  I. 
S.  Geist  and  George  Mable.

The  following  in  regard  to  the  reunion  of  the  Cassel 
family  at  Mount  Joy  is  taken  from  the  "  Daily  News  Era," 
Lancaster,  Pa.,  of  August  25,  1891  : 

"  A  large  family  reunion  took  place  on  Thursday  even- 
ing last  at  the  residence  of  Mr.  J.  E.  Cassel,  freight  agent  of 
the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  Company,  at  Mount  Joy.  There 
were  present  William  W.  Cassel,  late  editor  and  one  of  the 
proprietors  of  the  '  Sterling  Press-Sun,'  of  Sterling,  Neb.,  his 
wife  and  three  children  ;  James  C.  Cassel,  Superintendent  of

who  was  Miss  Emma  Cassel,  of  Mount  Joy;  and  Miss  Emma 
C.  Winebrenner,  of  Frederick,  Md.,  sister  of  Mrs.  Cassel. 

"  All  the  children  were  present  except  Mrs.  E.  Jay  Moore, 
of  Hot  Springs,  S.  Dak.,  and  Charles  H.  Cassel,  freight  and 
passenger  agent  of  the  Norfolk  and  Western  Railroad,  at  Max 
Meadow,  Va.  The  reunion  was  a  most  enjoyable  one  in  every 
respect,  as  such  affairs  always  are,  and  was  more  so  because 
the  children  are  so  widely  scattered  and  are  not  often  privi- 
leged to  be  together.
