253 From a 1979 written account by Marjorie Nelson Woodham entitled "Memories":
Ruby Clydene Nelson-She was 5 ft 91/2 inches tall, weight about 350. Brown hair & eyes. Ruby had a gland trouble that cause her to be so large. Ruby never married, she said that anyone who wanted a fat woman that there was something wrong with him & she didn't want a man that something was wrong with him. When we were children at home we took our bath in the same tub of water in the kitchen by the old wood cook stove. Kathryn was first, Ruby second & I was the third one in their left over bath water. The only time I got a separate tub of water was when we caught the itch. We got a hot bath in lye soap water, a application of sulphur, greese & iodine and a clean gown, next morning a fresh bath in lye soap water, clean cloths and the same routeen that night. Ruby had her first stoke in 1969 and in March she was addmited to McGregor nursing home. She had one stroke after another and with diabeties she went blind. At the age of 49 1/2, May 24, 1970 she went to meet her maker. Her request was not to put Miss on her tomb stone, as she had not missed anything she thought was important, so her marker reads-Ruby C. Nelson."

Introduction to the Casselmann - Family - History
By
Dr. Karl-Heinz Casselmann, Konigstein, Germany
In the beginning, there was C A S S E L (now Kassel)!The central German city in Hesse some 180 Kilometers north of Frankfurt, where in the 14th century the first Casselmann's were officially registered. Parts of the German region of Thuringen belonged to Cassel's rulers since 1247.

Very early in history-the city's walls were still not completed-restless residents of Cassel moved away, at first to small towns and villages nearby later they moved farther away. Wherever they went, they were called "men from Cassel" and spelled their names Casselmann, Cahaelmann, Cassilman, Kasselmann, Kaselman, Caselman, etc. (according to Brechenmacher's dictionary of German names). Brechenmacher mentioned Andreas Casselmann, registered in Simmerhausen near Cassel in 1418. In the official document from the town council of Witzenhausen dated September 19, 1367, the name Casselmann is mentioned in connection with a transfer of payment to the near monastery Germerode.

Many people from Cassel "immigrated" to Grossalmerode some 22 kilometers east of Cassel, where they were first mentioned in 1639 in a list of men to serve in the army of the aristocrat ruling in Cassel.(Jost Casselmann)

However, Casselmann's probably lived in Grossalmerode even earlier than that. At the end of the 17th century, Casselmann's were so numerous that the people could only keep them apart by giving them nicknames. Their professions: shoemakers, potters, prize-winning butchers, teachers, mayors and city officers. The Pennsylvania hero in the War of Independence, Henrich Casselmann, was a shoemaker before he came to North America. It is proven that he did not come from Adelshofen, maybe he was born in Grossalmerode. ( Dr. Karl-Heinz explained that no record of the birth of Heinrich had been found in Adelshofen, the theory that he was the eldest son of Andreas Ludwig is still not disproved).

Potters from Grossalmerode taught their profession in Reinhardswald, a forest region northeast of Cassel, for example Johann Friedrich Casselmann (Udenhausen-exhibition catalogue Pottery from Reinhardswald," Kassel 1982, page 189) earlier, Heinrich Casselmann was mentioned as a potter from Grossalmerode.

It is interesting to see that Casselmann's from Grossalmerode knew how to preserve their right of residence in Cassel- It is explicitly mentioned. Among the Hesse soldiers sold to the Britains to fight in North America there were Casselmann's from Grossalmerode and other Hesse towns.

Even today, most Casselmann's live in Grossalmerode. The ancestors of almost every second Casselmann living in West Germany were born in Grossalmerode.

In the 200 years from the middle of the 17th century to the middle of the 19th century many Casselmann's also lived in Allendorf along the river Werra. They were craftsmen, teachers, but mostly fishermen and boatmen. Later they moved down river to Rintein and Vloto. One of them, Philipp Casselmann took the juridical doctor's degree at the University of Jena in 1706.

The Casselmann's from Rintein have most prominent family members in their ranks. Wilhelm Theodor Casselmann, who lived from 1820 to 1872, studied chemistry in Marburg, where he was one of Bunsen's scholars. He took his doctors degree, taught at the Marburg University, and became deputy principle of the Wiesbaden high school. He also taught young soldiers at the Nassau Military Academy and belonged to numerous official examination committees. He wrote school books for high school chemistry-classes and analyzed the healing waters from Bad Sodded and Neuenhain in the Taunus region in southern Hesse. For many years he was elected member of the Nassau parliament, another sign of the respect payed him.

Also from the Rintein region, from Fischbeck, came the only Casselmann, to receive the title of nobility. It was Leopold von Casselmann (1858-1930). He was Lord Mayor of the city of Bayreuth, famous for it's Richard-Wagner Festivals. Leopold von Casselman was a member of the German Reichstag under Bismark and representative of the National Liberal Party in the Bavarian parliament. A street in Bayreuth was named after him.

Eva Maria Zilling, nee Klinckaieck, Hamburg is a niece of Leopold von Casselmann. Her paternal grandmother was a nee Casselmann from Rintein. Mrs. Zilling descends from an old established family of booksellers and publishers-living in Paris in the fourth generation. As a young women, she studied history of art in Halle and established close contacts to the famous .. Bauhaus". Today, Mrs. Zilling is 88 years old and still residing in Hamburg. The respected German daily newspaper "Die Welt" on December 7, 1976 ranked her among the ten "grande old ladies" of Hamburg, along with famous German artists and actresses such as Ida Shre.

In the south of Cassel, Casselmann's live in Melsungen, Lispenhausen, Gensungen and Felsberg. I cannot go into details, it would take too long. But there is one more Casselmann I must mention because he presented us with a family color: Casselmann's Green.

He is Arthur Casselmann. He was born in Felsberg near Cassel on September 3, 1828 and died in St Petersburg, Russia on November 10, 1872. He was a student of Friedrich Wohler, a world-famous chemist. In 1865, he received a call to St. Petersburg where he worked as the secretary of the Russian Pharmaceutical Association. He founded a Russian magazine for Pharmacy. He discovered Casselmann's Green a color also widely known in Germany as "Schweinfurter green." Today, Casselmann's green or Schweinfurter green is not used any more.

Even centuries ago, Casselmans with academic degrees moved far away. Around 1600 they lived in the Magdeburg region. In 1603 Constantin Casselmann from Mardeburg took a masters degree at the University of Jena. The Jesuit priest Heinrich Casselmann from Eheinberger near Cologne came to Erfurt sometime around 1700, where he was Placidus, abbot of Erfurt, and for several years president of the city's famous University.

Last but not least there are the Casselmann's from Adelshofen, who in 1709 left Germany for North America. There they became the largest of all family branches, How they came to Adelshofen is still a mystery.

However, Casselmann's not only emigrated to North America and Arthur Casselmann was not the only one to go to Russia. Some of those emigrants probably came back to Germany during World War II.

The Casselmann family in Switzerland is closely related to Heinrich Casselmann from Grossalmerode and his descendants. it is interesting that even Hans-Dietrich Casselmann married a Swiss woman- Anna Rinder from Glattfelden, Zurich.

Eva Maria Zilling's parents and grandparents in Paris owned a respected bookstore and publisher's house called Klincksieck. One of Germany's most famous publishers, Rowohlt, learned his trade in the company. Also in Paris, a sister of Juergen Casselmann lives with her children.

In Belgium there is a Casselmann family too. They are Flemish and Catholic. I could not obtain information about them because my correspondent has stopped writing without giving reasons.

It is not easy to establish who is related to whom in this large family. Jane Casselman from Detroit has a theory that may be helpful. "Look at the nose" she says and indeed; John, Dan, Ed and I have the same noses. Very well then.

For the time being, it is enough to know that we all have the same name, that we are Germans or that at least we were Germans at one time.

(note#1): The country we know as Germany is a fairly new nation in European history, having been formed in the early 1800s of several smaller nations and Palantine States, people of that era referred to their country as the Deutchland, this later caused some confusion in the New World where Hollanders and Germanic peoples where lumped together as "Dutchmen".

(note #2): In the Palatine Countries of this era, it was common to name most male children after the father and females after the mother, hence the Johannes and Anna in nearly all the names, this practice was continued to some extent by the first generations of immagrants in the New World. Johannes being the first male child of Johannes would then be called Johannes (Hanss is a dimunitive of Johannes) and the other male children would be called by their second names, i.e. Franz, Dietrich, etc. The first female would retain the name Anna and all subsequent females would revert to their second names, i.e. Margaretha, Elisabetha, etc.).

Johannes Kasselmann & Anna Kasselmann nee ???

Johannes Kasselmann, the earilest progenitor of my Castleman strain that I can document at this time, was probably born in or near the ancient walled village of Cassel, now Kassel, a village in Hesse some 180 Kilometers north of Frankfurt, in present day Germany. This is where, in the 14th century the first Casselmann's were officially registered.

Very early in history before Cassel's walls were completed, restless residents of Cassel moved away, at first to small towns and villages nearby, later they moved farther away. Wherever they went, they were called "Men from Cassel" and spelled their names Casselmann, Cahaelmann, Cassilman, Kasselmann, Kaselman, Caselman, etc. (according to Brechenmacher's dictionary of German names). Brechenmacher mentioned a Andreas Casselmann, registered in Simmerhausen near Cassel in 1418. In the official document from the town council of Witzenhausen dated September 19, 1367, the name Casselmann is mentioned in connection with a transfer of payment to the near monastery Germerode.

Many people from Cassel "immigrated" to Grossalmerode some 22 kilometers east of Cassel, where they were first mentioned in 1639 in a list of men to serve in the army of the aristocrat ruling in Cassel, one Jost Casselmann, a Palatine Prince of the Mother Church in Rome. Parts of the Germanic region of Thuringen have belonged to Cassel's rulers since 1247.
A more complete story of the origin of the name Casselman/Castleman

However he arrived there, the first written record we have of Johannes (the dimunitive "Hanss" was frequently used) is when he married to an Anna Kasselmann nee ???, in the Lutheren Church at Adelshofen in 1634. Johannes and Anna had at least twelve children that we have found records of either their birth or baptism there at Adelshofen, they are: Because no records found at Adelshofen indicate otherwise it is speculated that some of the family moved to a different area, at least one son, Johannes Dietrich must have moved for a while at least, to Eppingen, where Dietrich's first child's birth is recorded.

Evidently Johannes and Anna remained in Adelshofen and they are both buried there along with some of their children and grandchildren, in the Lutheren Church cemetery.

Mr Brown came to Texas in 1831, received one Labor of Land in Austin County, and married Sarah Castleman about 1833 in Fayette county. He was one of the members of Company E, Captain Gibson Kuykendall, who was detailed to guard the baggage at the camp opposite Harrisburg, April 21, 1836.
Alexander died at his residence six miles above La Grange, Fayette County, August 19, 1844, this was the same property he bought from Sylvanus Castleman. I believe he must have been buried in Fayette County, but have not been able to document where.

262 From Kansas City Star:
Carl Dean Bobbish Carl Dean Bobbish, age 89, of Overland Park, KS passed away on July 17, 2020. Private family services will be held.

Carl Dean Bobbish passed away on July 16, 2020 after a valiant battle with Covid 19.
Thanks to his kind nurses at Research Hospital, he listened to music in his final moments. Carl was known by many for his extraordinary talent as a classical pianist. He inspired his students and the community with his knowledge, dedication and love of music. His friends and family also cherished his quick wit, fun-loving nature, kindness and generosity. Carl, a dedicated Christian, was a member of Colonial Presbyterian church. He loved the people in his Life Builders Sunday School class.

Carl was born in Detroit, Michigan on April 4, 1931 as the sole child of George and Hazel. His mother died when he was nine. His father later married Maxsine, who became a mother to him and even a close friend. He was already an accomplished pianist when he attended Western Military Academy in Alton, Illinois where he developed life-long friendships. After graduating from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music with a Masters degree in piano, Carl accepted a teaching position at Northern Illinois University. He and Ruth met there. They fell in love quickly and married seven months later.

In 1956, they moved to Ottawa, Kansas. Carl taught piano and music theory there for many years. He also pioneered an outstanding concert and lecture series that brought numerous renowned artists to the town, including Aaron Copeland and Samuel Barber. Carl performed as a solo concert pianist throughout the midwest and overseas, as well as with many distinguished artists.

After his retirement, Carl continued to share generously his musical talents, happy to perform at venues in the Kansas City area, whether on a Steinway grand or an old upright. Carl traveled twice to perform in Fez, Morocco, once with the Josh McDowell foundation and again for a jazz festival.

Carl loved playing golf, tennis, and bridge. In all of his pursuits he was extraordinarily competitive. He encouraged his children to tackle challenges from an early age, offering them cash rewards to jump from the high diving board. In addition, he enjoyed cooking and many considered him a gourmet chef. His boeuf bourguignon was a favorite among those lucky enough to eat his meals.

Carl is survived by Ruth, his wife of 64 years and daughters Diana Randall (Mark) of Sausalito, CA and Laury Bobbish (George Baranko) of Bethesda, MD. His son John died before him at age 11. He is also survived by his grandchildren Noelle Randall (Tim Zaspal) of San Diego, CA; John Randall, of Columbia, MO; Robin Randall (Zachary Copoulos) of San Francisco, CA; Anna Baranko and Steven Baranko, of Bethesda, MD; his great grandchildren, Oscar and June Zaspal and Maxine Copoulos; his niece Christy Carter, of St. Paul, Minneapolis and nephew Philip Abraham, of Indianapolis, IN.

Carl will be sorely missed, but we are so grateful for his music and the many joyful times and laughs we had with him. We hope a date and location for a celebration of Carl?s life can be announced in the future.

In lieu of flowers in Carl?s memory, he would wish all people would deepen their appreciation of the best classical music. Whether in a concert hall or a church, Carl considered great music a spiritual thing and a gift from God to the world.

268 Gerald Gene "Jerry" Elmore was born in Dallas, Texas, on January 20, 1927, to Elba Winfield Elmore and Mary Serena Blackstone Elmore. He passed peacefully from this earthly life to his heavenly reward at 91 years of age on July 9, 2018, with his loving wife of more than 70 years, his two daughters, and other beloved family members at his side.
Jerry met the love of his life, Steloise Averitt, at Southwest Church of Christ when they were both young children. They reconnected when Jerry returned from serving in the U.S. Navy at the end of WWII. They were married on November 25, 1947, in Los Angeles, California. Jerry graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Business from George Pepperdine College in 1949, and completed a Master's degree in Religious Education at Pepperdine University in 1975. After completing his active duty service, Jerry proudly served 20 years in the Naval Reserve, reaching the rank of Lt. Commander before his retirement. Jerry and Stel lived in Bakersfield, California for more than 60 years, where they raised their three children and were engaged in many community activities. Jerry served faithfully as an elder of the Central Church of Christ for more than 42 years, where he was a much-loved Bible teacher and mentor to many. Jerry spent most of his professional life working as a stockbroker, retiring from Dean Witter Reynolds. They moved to Abilene in 2004, and were active members of Highland Church of Christ, serving in various ministry roles through the years.
Jerry loved God, his wife, his children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren passionately. He was a devoted husband and a generous, wise and loving father, modeling Godly living for all those around him. He had a sharp wit and a dry sense of humor right to the end of his life. He enjoyed spending time along the California coastline, hiking in the high Sierras, trout fishing and traveling the world with Stel. He took great delight in a good meal shared with family or friends, and often ate his dessert first...especially if it was peanut butter pie or some dark chocolate.

292 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castlemans_Ferry,_Virginia (sources not cited)

David D. Casselman was probably born near Albany, New York about 1734. Around the year 1750 the family moved to Hampshire County, Virginia, where his father Andreas and his older brother William had received land grants from Lord Fairfax of Virginia on 23 August 1749. This is when the name was changed to Castleman, on the paperwork for the land grants.

Around 1756, David married Margaret Johnson, born about 1737 in Virginia. Margaret descended on her mothers side from the Hampton family (for whom Hampton, Virginia is named). They bought "Head Spring" farm at Summit Point, Frederick County, Virginia (now Jefferson County, West Virginia) in 1762 and sold it ten years later in 1772 when he purchased "Glen Owen" Farm from Squire & Mrs. George Washington.

"Glen Owen" was located in Frederick County, Virginia (now Clarke County, Virginia), about three miles east of Berryville, between Berryville and Bluemont on the west bank of the Shenandoah River, on what is today's "Historic Scenic Highway" State Route 7. His son David Jr. at one time operated a ferry service across the Shenandoah River near there and the bridge that eventually replaced the ferry service was officially named the "Castlemans Ferry Bridge".

Castlemans Ferry was the sight of the 1864 Battle of Cool Spring during the American Civil War. It was also the sight of several cavalry skirmishes between the partisan Mosby's Rangers and various elements of Union cavalry and infantry.
