Mrs. Casselberry had been in excellent health until the day of her death. Only last Saturday she had told to a reporter for the Democrat how well she was feeling in spite of her advanced years. She said she hoped to get downtown now that the weather had become warm.

She had retained vigorous physical and mental faculties all through her old age, and her cheerful manner had been a source of inspiration to those who knew her.

Her life had been an active one, and during her residence here she had made four trips to her old home in England.
