John Marshall Cass was born Sept. 8, 1856, in Alamakee county, Iowa. In 1865 with his parents he moved to the farm where he resided until his death. He was married in April, 1882, to Miss Bell Brook of Bentonsport, Iowa. To this union were born four children, Duane, Carl, Earl, and Ina. All are living except Earl. The wife and mother died Nov. 28, 1894. The deceased was married again April 25, 1900, to Miss Stella Alexander of Bentonsport.
