Trainmen on a Union Pacific train which was switching in the yards here Friday noon, discovered the body of a man lying near the track at the old alfalfa mill. They immediately reported to Station Agent Ladd and it was found to be C. W. Hastings, familiarly known about town as Cash Hastings.
A doctor and the country coroner were summoned at once, also Mr. Hastings' brother, R. N. Hastings, of Osceola, who was here attending the fair. The body was removed to the Hess Undertaking parlors where an examination was made by Coroner Flory to determine whether there were any indications of his having met with injuries that might have caused his death. Nothing of that nature was revealed. He had been in ill health for the past few weeks.
Cassius W. Hastings, son of Robert Y. and Susanna Hastings, was born June 21st, 1861, in Pike county, Ohio. He departed this life September 24th, 1926, at the age of 65 years, 3 months and 3 days. After the death of his father, he assisted his widowed mother in the care of her family. He has remained unmarried. As a young man he joined the Methodist Episcopal church and has always remained in that faith. He came to Boone county in 1900 and has been a resident of Albion for the past eighteen years. He leaves to mourn his loss, two sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Rulon, of New Vienna, Ohio, and Mrs. Charles York, of Springfield, Ohio; also four brothers, R. N. and W. D. of Osceola, Nebraska, Geo. V. of Primrose, and W. J. Hastings of Casper, Wyoming. Funeral services were held from the Methodist Episcopal church Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. Chas. G. Gomon, the pastor, officiating.
