When I was researching one of my distant aunts, I found that she died in
Colorado Springs Colorado. We are not sure why she was there but she was
listed in the city directory. Also listed were 3 CASTLE women in Colorado
Springs.
This person is a GREAT example of looking at various spellings as she is
buried next to her brother Louis CASSELL at Calvary Cemetery in St. Louis,
MO. The St Louis Post Dispatch obit for
Kassel, Louise 11/11/1897 page 8 obit: age 36 died in Colorado Springs,
Colo. appendicitis
Are there any other cousins with Colorado connections?
