Hello list!
I just returned from the LDS family history center today and spent my time
going through a roll of film for the Holy Ghost Cemetery - well I tryed - it
is long!
But I found these folks buried there so far:
Ferdinand Cassell age 49 years old - lived at 2788 Geyer - Born Germany 21
Feb. 1891 also found that Cassel, Fried owned lot 16, block A, section 16 ..
Flo -- Kassell age 2, lived at 1013 Gratoiet St Louis 22 FEb 1891
Alma C. Cassell - 18 years, 9 months lived at 2930 1/2 Geyer obit from the
St. Louis Post: Cassel, Alma C. 6/1 page 9 obit: On Thursday, May 31 at
10:30 o'clock p.m., Alma C. Cassel, beloved daughter of Hermina Cassel and
sister of Adele, Walter and Herman Cassel, after a lingering illness, aged
18 years and 9 months. Funeral Saturday June 2, at 2 o'clock p.m. from
residence 2703 1/2 Geyer Ave.
Agnes Cassell 71 years old Jan 8, 1896
Julius Cassel 74 years old Jan 11, 1896
Dora Stocklin age 36 on Oct 31, 1873 (there is a connection between Stocklin
and Cassell)
Does anyone have a book that lists who else is buried with Ferdinand and
these other Cassell folks??

previous research shows:
Ferdinand Kassel married Mary Healy on 8 June 1874 at St. Nicholas Church my
note states that N. Slandinger was a Catholic Priest who preformed the
marriage .. But Holy Ghost is not a Catholic Cemetery ..

I would appreciate additional info from Holy Ghost if anyone would have
some - or if you can connect to Ferdinand Cassell - I will send copies of
what I have .. so far I can't connect to this Cassell - but you never know!
