Joseph E. Hassler, nearly 31 years of age and for most of his life a resident of Cass County, died at the home of "Uncle" Paul Schindorff, north of East Lynne, last Friday. His death was due to diabetes from which he had suffered for a little more than a year, and which some months ago prompted his removal to El Dorado Springs with the idea of recovering his health. He had returned from that place only a few weeks ago. The following is communicated by one who was well acquainted with the family.
"Joseph Edgar Hassler was born in Cass County, Missouri, on February 7, 1880, and departed this life in the same county on December 2, 1910, at the age of 30 years, 9 months and 25 days. He was, the fourth child of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Hassler and is the sixth one to pass into the life beyond.
"On April 18, 1908, he was united in marriage to Miss Lillian Schindorff, who has faithfully shared the joys and sorrows and the sunshine and shadow of life with him. To this union one child has been born Ona Belle, who is now left fatherless. When but 15 years old Joseph Hassler gave his heart to God and united with the M. E. Church and has lived a faithful and conscientious Christian life ever since. He grew to manhood on the farm and was respected and loved by all who knew him. He was industrious and frugal, and at the same time kindly and generous. In disposition he was cheerful.
"A year ago last August he was stricken with ill health, and although he had bravely fought against the tide and had received he best attention that medical skill and tender nursing could provide, he gradually declined until death relieved his suffering. In his death he leaves a devoted wife, a darling child, father and mother and two sisters to mourn his sad demise, but they are greatly comforted by his Christian character and his unfaltering faith in the life to come.
"The funeral services were conducted Sunday in the 'East Lynne M. E. church, where the deceased had been a member. Rev. D. W. Britton officiated, and a very large company of sorrowing friends attended to pay their tribute of love to their dead friend and neighbor.
The body was taken to Harrisonville, where the burial was made in Oakland cemetery. Rev. G. J. Warren conducted the services at the grave in a most comforting and beautiful manner. The sincere sympathy of all who know them goes out to the bereaved relatives, and especially to the grief stricken relative and especially to the grief-stricken wife and little child.
