KASSNER, Matthias
======================================================================
Matthias Kassner, deceased, was a native of Germany, born Aug. 22,
1822.  His parents were also natives of Germany and there passed their
lives.

Mr. Kassner came to America in 1847 and located in Canada, where he
resided 15 years.  In 1862 he came hither with his family and, under
the Homestead Act, made a claim of 160 acres of land, of which he
cleared 30 acres.  He died May 10, 1878.

Mrs. Magdalene (Neuswanger) Kassner, the wife of the subject of this
sketch, was born in Germany, Dec. 1, 1817.  Three of the six children
of this marriage yet survive: Veronica, born Feb. 25, 1850; Amanda,
Feb. 25, 1852, and John E., June 20, 1860.  The deceased are
Christian, David and Benjamin.  The family still resides on the farm.
