George Cassell in Akron, Colorado
 
Pat,
 
Taylor County, IA was mentioned in an article I was researching for my family connections in Akron, Colorado.

"Geo. Cassell sold his property in north east Akron this week to Joe Hall, who expects to move his family September 1.  Mr. Cassell don't know just where they will locate; but thinks it will be father west.  We hate to loose these people as they are good citizens and some of our old Taylor County, Iowa friends."
 
These weekly news items are in a Community section :   District No. 12   Missouri Valley -- Rosa Lee.     Missouri Valley is ten miles south and six miles east and Rosa Lee is nine miles south and four miles east of Akron.
 
My family the Bishop's & Callahan's moved to Akron in Feb. 1920.  I believe the Cassell's moved prior to that time.
