==============================
OBITUARY.
Sarah Ann Young was born in Kentucky, March 1st 1826. While quite a young woman she was married to Thomas Jefferson Thorn. To this union two children were born, one of whom is still living. She married the second time to Phillip Kephart of this state. To this union were born seven children, four boys and three girls. Martha Vaughn, the eldest of the girls, died in April, 1894. The remaining six children are still living. Mr. Kephart died nineteen years ago last April, and his wife remained a widow ten years, when she was married again to Jacob Cassel, of Benton county, this state, who survives her. Mrs. Cassel was a consistent member of the Christian church from her childhood and was liked by all who knew her. About a year ago she became the victim of that dread disease, asthma, which gradually dragged her down until on the 16th day of May, 1896, the icy hand of death touched her and she passed away.
