Cass had not been ill a day in the past 48 years, his son, Early R. Cass, 1443 S. Florence av., of the Beatrice Creamery Co., said. About two weeks ago he fell and broke his hip. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, but complications of age and a throat ailments hastened his death.
Besides his son survivors include his widow, Mrs. Lola Cass of the home address; three daughters, Mrs. J.F. Thomas, 714 W. Ninth st, Mrs. Alta Cass Moore, 2503 E. Eleventh st, Mrs. RH. Kirkland, 1509 S. Victor av; tow other sons, Clifford C. Cass of Tulsa and Houston, Texas, J.B. Cass, 1702 S. Jamestown av; two sisters, Mrs. Jane Ervin of Englewood, Ten., and Mrs. Lou Ervin of McDonald, Tenn.; a niece, Mrs. H.V. Burton of the home address and 11 grandchildren.
Cass was born in Athens, Tenn., Aug 9, 1854. After the Civil war he went to west Texas to engage in cattle raising and ranching. He was among a group to arrange the first organized buffalo hunt.
Cass came to Tulsa from southwestern Oklahoma in 1905. He started one of the town's first dairies, at what is now Ninth street and Jackson avenue, and which he operated until 1912, selling his interest to Arthur Antle and Charles Price. He also engaged in contract hauling of building material, securing the contract for the Robinson hotel, now an office building at Third and Main streets, the first high school building at Fifth street and Boston avenue, later torn down for business development, and other original Tulsa landmarks.
In 1912 he moved to a farm 12 miles northwest of Tulsa which he operated until he retired in 1918 and returned to Tulsa. Cass owned several Tulsa real estate properties including apartment buildings at 917 S. Jackson av. and 914 S. Indian st.
