Cassel Whos Father was Robert H. Cassel
and mother was Caroline Persh(the spelling for her name may be in correct) Roberts farther
was Ezra Cassel born in IN on 29 sept 1896 died in may 1973 Gosport, Indiana 47433, now I
know he married twice I was told a martha and a Rebecca but I found for the Ezra, a
recorded of marriage to a Bertha Murphy these two should have had 3-4 kids. Cassel Ezra
Bertha Murphy Sept 29 1896 W Jan 31 1920 38 145
I finding the search difficult, as I only have been given bits of infomation I was told
his father was a Grant or a John Murphy but since I found bertha i believe the details
given are muddled up, so I think it is John Cassell
The Name was Changed by Ezra due to him coming back from war after sending money back to
be saved up in a trust fund and his parents had Spent it on land and spent the rest,
leaving hardship with in the family So it's was cassell and ezra changed it to Cassel
Can any one help?????
