MAYORS WIFE DIES
Mrs. William E. Cassell, Prominent Club woman, at 6:30 a.m. today.
Secumed after long illness at Mercy Hospital. The Funeral announcement later.
Mrs. Ada Maria Cassell, wife of William E. Cassell, mayor of Fort Scott, of 123 South Eddy street, passed away gently and peacefully this morning at Mercy Hospital, where since last October she had been taking treatment for a chronic disease of the stomach and liver. While everything known to medical science and nursing skill was being done for her, no hope was given for her recovery. Since Christmas she has been in a critical condition and her sick room was brightened by a profusion of flowers, expressions of love from a host of friends.
Mrs. Cassell is survived by her aged father, John H. Gardner, pioneer contractor and architect, of 324 South Little street; her husband, William E. Cassell, and three sons, viz., Harry I. Cassell, of Los Angeles, Cal.; John Fred Cassell, of Hollywood, Cal.; and George Cassell at home. She also leaves four grandchildren, a brother, J. Fred Cassell, of Pittsburg, Kans., and a sister Rosa Parton, of Coffeyville. The latter will be here for the funeral. A wire was received from Harry and Fred, this afernoon, saying they would be here.
Ada Maria Gardner was a native Kansan, having been born in the old town of Marmaton, Bourbon county, November 2, 1863, making her 58 years of age her last birthday.
Since childhood she had lived in Fort Scott, and she had the honor of being in the first class from the Fort Scott high school in 1880. At the alumni banquet last spring she gave a brilliant toast on "Ancient History of the Fort Scott High School." Mrs. Cassell was a successful teacher at the Margrave school before her marriage.
Mrs. Cassell was prominent in club circles and was a beloved member of the Current Literature Club, which she served as secretary-treasurer. Possessed of a keen intellect and executive ability, many demands were made on her for service. Her unselfish character caused her to be always looking out for others, doing kindly deeds in cases of sickness and in a neighboryly way. Her home was the center of hospitality and she was devoted to her family.
As a director of the Needlework Guild, she worked while confined to the sickroom. She was a zealous worker in the Presbyterian Church, filling the office of treasurer of the Y.L. Society. Mrs. Cassell was a past patron of Olive Chapter No. 13, O.E.S. A wide circle of friends will mourn her loss.
The funeral will be held from the home. The exact time will be announced on the arrival of the two sons.
The following pallbearers have been selected: H.F. Chapman, E.S. Redman, J.E. Stuart, D.C. Congdon, J.E. McElvains, Ed Hicks and Reuben Wing. Burial will be made in the family plot in Evergreen Cemetery.

AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL
Services for Mrs. W.E. Cassell largely attended yesterday afternoon. At Rest in Evergreen.
A large assembly of sympathizing friends, city officials and old residents, attended the funeral services of the lates Mrs. William E. Cassell, held from the family home. 123 Eddy Street, Sunday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. The house would scarcely hold those who wished to pay tribute to the memory of this beloved woman.
About the grey casket were banked high, the beauteous floral offerings, designed in harps, crescents, pillows, wreaths and sheaves of lilies, roses, carnations, interspersed with dainty sweet peas and spring blossoms, tokens of love and esteem from scores of friends and organizations.
The Presbyterian quartette, Mrs. F.E. Mulligan, Mrs. F.H. Carson, Mrs. Will Scott, and Mr. D.G. Cobb, accompanied by Mrs. Dan Bates, sang the hymns "Abide with Me, Sometime We'll Understand, and Rock of Ages."
John H. Gross, pastor of the Presbyterian church, read comforting passages and promises from the Scriptures, asking for strength and blessing on the bereaved family of which four generations were present. Mr. Gross compared the earthly home, place of unselfish love, comfort and shelter, with the Eternal. Home, where God rewards His children and the sorrows of this life, the sweet ministry of Mrs. Cassell will be missed, but the memory of her beautiful Christian life will remain.
When the long procession of cars wended its way to Evergreen cemetery, the City Fire Department setted as an honorary escort, going as far as Tenth street. The body was laid to rest in the family plot. The following served as pallbearers: H.F. Chapman, E.B. Hicks, J.E. Stuart, D.C. Congdon, Ed Redman, R.M. Wing, and J.C. McElvains.
The two sons, Harry and Fred Cassell and their families arrived from California for the services. Others of the
relatives were Mr. & Mrs. J.F. Gardner of Pittsburg, and Mr. & Mrs. Charles Parton of Coffeyville, Kansas.
