| RATON RANGE October 1937 (Contributed by Helen Wood) typed by Andrew Lee Bristol Pioneer Raton Woman Dies at Home Sun. Mrs. Fannie Cassell, wife of E. K. Cassell and a resident of Colfax county for 54 years, died at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at her home, 133 Grant avenue after several months' illness. Mrs. Cassell was 60 years old and came to Colfax county when she was six. When Mrs. Cassell first came to Raton a small girl, then Fannie Lillie, the city was less than a village, the Santa Fe railroad had only recently run their twin steel ribbons down from the pass, and the little frontier outpost was truly the wild and woolly west. She attended private school held in a small log cabin, near where the Harnish Motor company is located. Mrs. Cassell could spin endless stories of the frontier village then in the spasms of the railroad boom. Raton was developing from a water stop on the stage line to a modern city and the growth was painful and violent. Mrs. Cassell grew up with the town and savored the interesting phenomenon to the full. A lover of children, Mrs. Cassell adopted five of them during her full life, all of whom are still living, two of them Raymond and Danny Beaver, being at the bedside at the time of her death. Three others are now living in California. She was a staunch member of the W. C. T. U. She was born in Dowagiac, Mich., in 1870, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Lillie. Funeral services will be at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon from the Errington Chapel with the Elder Roy L. Benton of Keene, Tex., officiating. Burial will be in Fairmont Cemetery. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Grace Wilson of Raton and Mrs. Nellie Bloomfield of Fort Worth, her husband of Raton and her five adopted children. (Born October 5, 1870 and died March 10, 1937) |
