     CASSELS, JAMES EDWIN has the character, ability and prestige that mark 
him as one of the representative members of the bar of Hillsborough County, 
where he is established in the successful practice of his profession at Plant 
City.
     Mr. CASSELS was born in Alachua County, Florida, on the 24th of January, 
1889, and is a son of HENRY and MARY A. (CARLTON) CASSELS, the former a native 
of South Carolina, and the latter of Florida, with whose history the family 
name has been identified since the pioneer days, the father of Mrs. CASSELS 
having been a victim in an early Indian massacre in Florida.  The lineage of 
JAMES EDWIN CASSELS is traced back to staunch English origin on both the 
paternal and maternal sides, and both the Cassels and Carlton families were 
founded in America in the Colonial days.
     The youngest in a family of five children, JAMES E. CASSELS acquired his 
early education largely in the public schools at Plant City, and in 1911 he 
was graduated in the law department of John B. Stetson University, at DeLand 
this state, besides which he took a course in the law department of the 
University of Chicago.  He was admitted to the bar of his native state in 
June, 1911, and at Plant City he has built up a substantial and representative 
law business, with secure status as one of the able members of the bar of this 
section of the state.
