Hi
I've never searched this area before so am unfamiliar with, not just
the geography, but also what is available locally.
I am looking specifically for a Prof Jack Cassel (John D Cassel) who
was killed during a balloon exhibition in Aug 1910. The report
originated from Evansville but unsure where the accident occurred.
(may have been a town nearby)
At one time, he had his own touring company called the Jack Cassel
Balloon Co., but unknown if he was performing under that name or not.
He was a tightrope and trapeze artist and so the exhibition was NOT
about giving balloon rides to the locals.
Unable to do personal research in the area so any suggestions would
have to be available on-line i.e. newspaper, historical society, etc.
Since he was not a local, local newspaper reports would be the best
and possibly only sources.
Any help appreciated
