Castle, Judson,

Of Granville, Licking County, Ohio,
d. May 16, 1852,
84 m. west of St. Joseph.
Castle's brother-in-law, Wm. Cornell, erected an engraved stone marker and reported three other cholera deaths in the vicinity on the same day. Probably near Baker's Ford on S. Fork Nemaha River.

"...this morning after inscribing Judson's name residence age and day of his death on a stone set up at the head of his grave I took a tearful farewell." (Cornell)

Cornell's mother-in-law never forgave him for her son's death, and refused to speak to him for the rest of her life.

(Oreg. Hist. Q. v.79, p.371)
