Frank Kass, one of the early settlers of Plymouth county, died at his home in Remsen on Thursday night after an illness lasting several months. Mr. Kass was born in Luxembourg in 1820, and came to the United States when a young man. He was a resident of Jackson county for many years before coming to this county where he engaged in farming. He amazed a comfortable fortune and some years ago retired from active work and built himself a fine home in Remsen.
