Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Cassel 3rd Oldest Married Couple
Lifelong Residents of New Dundee District 52 Years Married (By Chronicle Correspondent) New Dundee
the third oldest married couple in this district, Mr. and Mrs. Josiah Cassel observed their 52nd wedding anniversary quietly at their home on Front St. on Thursday, Jan. 5th, Mr. and Mrs. Cassel have been life-long residents of this community although they have only resided in the village for the past 22 years after retiring from farming on the land now owned by Cameron Bock, three and one-half miles west of here. Previous to that they farmed on the old Cassel homestead, one mile west of the village which is now owned by Ervin Sararas.
Among their recollections of early farm life, Mr. Cassel recalls how he and numbers of other farmers in the district teamed wood to Galt a distance of twelve miles during the winter months, when wood was practically the only fuel in use. Mrs. Cassel also remembers how she made quantities of farmer's cheese for which there was always a ready market in the surrounding towns.
Mr. and Mrs. Cassel have enjoyed travelling, during their 52 years of married life. Their wedding trip was spent in Pennsylvania and in later years they visited Michigan at various times and also travelled to the Canadian West in 1919.
Mr. Cassel vividly recalls attending the Chicago World's fair in 1893 as well as a trip to Alberta in 1900 when the West was still sparsely settled. He remembers that a single shed was the only building on the site where the town of Didsbury is now located. Even during the past year Mr. and Mrs. Cassel made a trip to Montreal, Que., where they visited the latter's brother, Mr. Abram S. Hallman, who was the best man at their wedding in 1887.
Mrs. Cassel who celebrated her 71st birthday on Christmas Day was formerly Sarah Ann Hallman, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Abram S. Hallman, Sr., and Mr. Cassel who is 82 years of age was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jesse B. Cassel. They were united in marriage by Rev. Jacob Bowman, one-time pastor of the United Brethren Church at New Dundee. Mrs. Cassel has been closely associated in the work of this church for many years and only recently resigned as teacher in the Sunday School after having completed 21 consecutive years of teaching. Mr. and Mrs. Cassel have four children living, 16 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Their many friends wish them continued health and happiness.
