Joseph Cassutt died at his home here December 26, 1929 after an illness of some duration. He was born in Switzerland, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Cassutt and came to this county with his parents about seventy years ago.

He was educated here in Elkader and February 14, 1888 was united in marriage with Johanna Connor, here in St. Joseph's church.

For many years Mr. Cassutt resided on a farm several miles west of Elkader on primary No. 56. About twelve years ago he retired from active farm work and had made Elkader his home.
