Word has been received here of the death of Mrs. Kit Kasson Thursday, December 18, in Wayne, Nebraska. The remains were taken to Toledo, Iowa for burial, her parents being buried there.

Her maiden name was Voorhees. She was a member of the Baptist church while here. She was the second wife of Mr. Kasson, who came to Independence in 1858.
