Death of Mr. Joseph M. Caskey.
The news of the death of Mr. Joseph M. Caskey will be learned with deep regret by his many friends throughout the county. He died at his home about 1 o'clock yesterday morning after a short illness of pneumonia. Mr. Caskey was about 58 years of age and leaves his wife and three children surviving him. He was a member of Newhope Baptist church and was esteemed by all who knew him as a high-toned christian man. Honest, upright, kind-hearted and benevolent Lancaster county loses one of her very best citizens. He served in the Confederate army, being in the company of boys which went into service under Capt. J.D. Caskey, and made a good soldier. He was elected county commissioner for one term by probably the largest vote ever given any man for that office in the county. For the past six years he has been keeper of the county home and has made a good and most efficient one. His remains were interred yesterday afternoon in Newhope churchyard, a large concourse of friends being present at the last sad rites.
