Obituary

Mrs. Isabel Floyd Cassingham was born Feb 9, 1832 in Muskingum county, Ohio, and died Oct 17, 1904, at her home in Mitchell, Kans. She was married to G. B. Cassingham, Dec 17, 1854; making nearly fifty years of married life. Ten children were born to them, six of whom are still living, a daughter in Cuba, Ill., a son in Montana, one in Pratt county, Kans., two in Missouri and one here.

Mrs. Cassingham was converted in 1858 and united with the M. E. church, holding such relation until she was transferred from the church militant tot the church triumphant. She had been a great sufferer for many years, but was remarkably patient through it all.

The funeral services were conducted at the M.E. church in Mitchell, by the pastor, after which the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at Lyons to await the summons of the children of God.

The bereaved certainly have the sympathy of the entire community.
