MRS. REBECCA J. CASS' DEATH REMOVES COLORADO PIONEER

Widow of Joseph B. Cass, Pioneer of Denver
in 60's Died in Iowa Home.

In the recent death of Mrs. Rebecca Jennison Cass at her childhood
home in Iowa, a well known woman was removed from the fast thinning
ranks of Colorado pioneers. Although advanced in years and in frail
health, the direct cause of her death was pneumonia.

Mrs. Cass was the widow of Joseph B. Cass, junior partner of the bank-
ing house of O. D. Cass & Co., one of the few banking institutions of
Denver in the early sixties. She held a high position in the social life
of pioneer Denver and many prominent people, who passed through Denver
at that time, were entertained at the Cass home. Mrs. Cass was the oldest
daughter of the late Colonel Henry and Mary B. Jennison of Iowa, and was
educated at Monticello, Ill. Her forebearers were of hardy New England
and Virginia stock and many of them gained fame in Revoluntionary history.

Mrs. Cass is survived by a son, Henry Cass of Chicago; a daughter, Mrs.
R. A. Young of Denver; a grand-daughter, Mrs. Charles Ungemach of Denver,
and a sister, Mrs. B. S. Greathouse, formerly of Denver, but now of Pueblo.
