Hinds County Gazette   

Mr. Able Casper, an old 
and highly esteemed citizen of Raymond,
died Monday night after a long and
painful illness—aged about 82 years.
His remains were followed to the
grave Tuesday afternoon by a large
number of sorrowing friends and 
relatives.  Mr. Casper came to Raymond
many years before the war and 
engaged in business, being most
prosperous in his ventures until about
1868, when like thousands of other,
he succumbed to the financial pressure,
which bowed down the whole
country, from which he never recovered.
A few years later he was
stricken with paralysis, the effect of
it being to make him a permanent
invalid.  Mr. Casper was an honest
man, and as such will be remembered
always by this community.  He
leaves a wife and two sons, as well as
several grandchildren.  May they
bear up under this great and crushing
blow.
