In Loving Memory
This is a cenotaph in remembrance of Cassander "Cassie" Fluharty Raber, a pioneer woman being honored at Toothman Cemetery where her beloved husband and some loved ones are at rest. The death record states Cassie Raber died at Glovers Gap, Marion County, West Virginia, with her burial place to be "near Metz" September 24, 1904. In those days sometimes record keeping was informal, and local people probably knew what cemetery the informant meant when he wrote "near Metz".
Cassie and William Raber had lived through the terrible Civil War years with their four sons in military service for the Union. Cassie and William suffered heartache as only parents could, through the agonizing pain of their eldest son Phillip Raber being executed for desertion in 1863. Was father William already ill? Did Phillip come home to help family during hard times as soldiers sometimes did, then returned to camp to face the consequences. Family came first and with the eldest son usually came responsibility. We will probably never know what transpired.
Cassie's life was changed forever when her husband William Raber died in 1864. She was fortunate to have children living in the area, and eventually Christopher cared for his mother whom lived a long life.
