Elkhart, Tex., March 25, 1889. This town and community is today lamenting over the death of John Hassell, one of our oldest and best physicians, who was taken with pneumonia about a week ago and died this morning. The doctor was 67 years old and has done good service as a physician here for the last fifteen or twenty years. He leaves a large family, all of which have the heart-felt sympathy of the entire community.
(Published in the Dallas Morning News)
The 1880 Census of Anderson County Texas indicates Dr. Hassell was born in Illinois. His wife, Ellen A. was born in Indiana. Their children were all born in Texas.
