N. Hamburg Couple Married 60 Years

On Saturday, April 5th, Mr. and Mrs. Ephraim B. Cassel, esteemed residents of New Hamburg for the past twenty years, observed the 60th anniversary of their marriage.

They were married at Roseville, Waterloo County, on April 5, 1881. Rev. Jacob B. Bowinan, U. B. minister from Freeport, officiated.
Mr. Cassel is a son of the late Henry B. Cassel, who was born near Philadelphia, and came to Ontario in 1850 and made his home near New Dundee.

Later he taught school for some time at what was then called Block's Corners, about two miles southwest of New Dundee, and about 4 mile east of Blenheim Church. In this same log school house the Mennonite people held their church services for a number of years, until they built their own church in the year 1850.

Mr. E. B. Cassel's mother was born in Blenheim township, about about two miles south of New Dundee and Mrs. E. B. Cassel's father was born at Roseville.

Her mother was born in the state of Pennsylvania and came to Waterloo County over 150 years ago. Mr. Cassel was born in Blenheim, Oxford County, two miles north of Washington on the farm now owned by Mr. Coleman and formerly by A. Y. Hall, drover. Mrs. Cassel (Hannah), who was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Bricker, was born at Roseville, where the marriage took place.

Mr. and Mrs. Cassel farmed for many years three miles west of Haysville, and in 1918 moved to New Hamburg.

They have one son, Allan.

Left Europe Over 200 Years Ago

The Cassel's and Bricker's, with many other Mennonite families, left Europe over 200 years ago for America and arrived at Philadelphia (The Quaker City) to make their homes in the state of Pennsylvania.

In religion, both Mr. and Mrs. Cassel are devout adherents of the Mennonite Faith, being members of the Biehn congregation, three miles south of New Hamburg.

Mrs. Cassel is in her 82nd year and this winter knitted several pairs of stockings, and cut out and made by hand the dress she wore for the occasion celebrated on Saturday. Mrs. Cassel does her own house work. She is more than grateful to the many friends and neighbours who have these many years not forgotten her in both calls and favors. Mr. Cassel will be 84 years old this spring, and remembers quite well the building that many years ago stood on the north side of the road, one quarter of a mile east of Haysville, which was used for a school house and which no doubt was the first or among the first in Wilmot township.

Mr. Cassel started to school in the spring of 1862 at U.S.S. No. 5, Wilmot, situated on the farm he lived on for 37 years. The school yard was then one quarter of an acre in size and seemingly answered for four purposes, namely school, church, burial and playground for the school children. The property was set aside in about 1850. About 1854 the Church of England was built just across the road.

Three years ago he bought the west half of Lot 27, known as "Spruce Farm", adjoining his own property, from Mr. Manley Mark, thereby securing one of the finest 200 acre farms in the county. Mr. Cassel was married to Miss Mark, eldest daughter of the late Samuel Mark, in the year 1885. Mr. Cassel has won an enviable reputation as a feeder of export cattle. Visitors from all sections visit his large barns to admire the beautiful cattle that are to be found in his stables. He feeds 70 exporters every year. He has been school trustee for three terms, besides being continuous secretary-treasurer of his school section for several years. He was a member of the school board when the present schoolhouse was built and was largely instrumental in making it one of the finest schoolhouses in the county. He is a member of the Church of England and takes an active interest in its welfare. In 1902 he was elected township councillor and has since been a very creditable member. He was appointed a justice of the peace in 1903 and reappointed by the present government in 1905.

Golden Wedding Celebrated

On Monday, March 6th, Mr. and Mrs. Noah Shantz, of Baden, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at their old homestead near New Dundee, where their son, Mr. Walter Shantz, now resides. The bridesmaid and best man of fifty years ago were present for the occasion, namely, Mrs. Ezra Cressman, of Plattsville, and Mr. Samuel Cassel, of Kitchener. A sumptuous dinner was served from a table prettily arranged with gold tapers and centered with the wedding cake decorated in gold and white. A unique feature of the dinner was that the set of dishes used had been brought to this country from Pennsylvania by Mrs. Shantz's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Bricker, almost 100 years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Shantz received lovely gifts and congratulations from their many friends. During the afternoon a program was given consisting of songs of yester-year and short addresses. Mr. and Mrs. Shantz's children and grandchildren were all present.

"Many Ontario Mennonite women were known for their hospitality, but few Indians were found among their recipients. What Susannah Shantz may have done to merit the gift which she received from two Indian women has been lost to memory - only the memory of the gift remains.

'FOR YOUR LITTLE PAPOOSE'

Susanna Bricker Cassel was born in Wilmot Township, Waterloo County. Her home was on the Huron Road, west of Haysville. Her father, Henry B.Cassel, her grandfather, Peter Bricker, and her great grandfather Sam Bricker had pioneered their respective farms in the Waterloo District.

When Susannah married Noah S. Shantz they took up residence on a farm south of the Huron Road, two miles east of Haysville, and became active members of the Blenheim Mennonite church. (This church has since merged with the Biehn congregation to form the Nith Valley Mennonite Church).The Shantz home was known for its warm hospitality to strangers as well as friends. Immigrant labourers from Europe found both employment and a home with Noah and Susannah.

On the Shantz farm there remained a heavy stand of hardwood and pine forest. Each year several Indian families came and camped in an old lumber shack on the edge of the forest while they harvested ginseng, the root of which was used for medicinal purposes.

One day, several months after the birth of her oldest child, Susannah responded to a knock on her kitchen door and found two Indian women standing there. The one had a small child with her. The older woman held a beautiful, hand-woven doll cradle fashioned from black ash which she shyly handed to Susannah, saying 'for your little papoose'.

This doll cradle and this intriguing tale of a Mennonite woman's interaction with native Indians was handed down to Susannah's daughters and grand daughters. Unfortunately the cradle has not been seen since the family moved from the old homestead, but the memory remains.

When this story was recounted to someone who was acquainted with the ways of Indian people, he responded that Indians presented gifts to persons whom they hold in high regard. Since that conversation the grand daughters have wondered about previous contacts their grandmother may have had with these two Indian women. Her hospitality, no doubt, had also been extended to them, prompting this generous gift."

Before the turn of the century, John and Jacob Cassel born in 1871, twin sons of Mr. and Mrs. Adam B. Cassel of Blenheim township, Oxford County, gained considerable fame as tightrope and trapeze artists, and balloonists. They ascended to approximately 500 feet landing by parachute and gave many performances throughout Waterloo County.

The accomplished athletic brothers spent some time travelling with circuses in the USA and Jacob worked with a medicine show as a magician and sharpshooter.

John, the only one of the pair to marry, later lived in South Carolina. In his early forties he was injured in a fall which resulted in his death in 1910. Jacob was also hurt in a fall, from which he only partially recovered, passing away from of a heart attack at his mother's home.

____________________

John Cassel had a horrible death. On Aug. 18, 1910, in Mount Vernon, Ind., his balloon caught fire 1,000 feet (300 metres) in the air. John jumped and his parachute opened after a brief free fall. Floating downwards, he was little aware that the flaming balloon was plummeting toward him. At about 120 metres (400 feet), it struck, burning the parachute, and plunging John to his death. Then, as he hit the ground, the blazing balloon landed on him.

John is buried in an unmarked grave in Louisville.

GINGRICH. - Lauretta Rachel, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. John Snyder, was born in Wilmot Twp., Ont., Aug. 11, 1886; died in the K-W Hospital, Kitchener, Ont., Sept. 8, 1945; aged 59 y. 28 d.

She also leaves 3 daughters (Isabel, Mary, and Ruth), one son (John), 2 brothers (Zenas, New Hamburg, Ont.; and Oscar, Shoal Lake, Man.), and 2 sisters (Mrs. Edwin Gable, of Kitchener; and Mrs. Walter Hofstetter, Plattsville, Ont.). She was converted in her youth and united with the Bean congregation. When the family moved into the Breslau district in 1926 she united with the Cressman congregation. She was faithful in church attendance and, though her closing years were attended with much suffering, she unwaveringly retained her faith in her Lord and Saviour. Frequently she expressed her desire to go to her heavenly home. Her wish has now been graciously realized and we believe she is present with Christ, who gave her such an abiding hope and consolation. Funeral services were held at her late home and at the Cressman Church, Sept. 11, by the pastor, Oscar Burkholder. Text, Ps. 23: 4.
