                               CASPER, John L.
                                      
                                      
     THE HENRY BULLETIN, Martinsville, Va., Fri., July 29, 1921, page 6,
     col. 4 [edited]. John L. Casper, a well-known business of
     Winston-Salem, N. C. died Friday morning at Villa de Acura
     Coahuila, Mexico, from heart failure. A message conveying the news
     was received by his family at Winston-Salem, from John D. Lambe,
     the son-in-law of the deceased who has been with Mr. Casper in
     Mexico for the past few months; he was 55 years old. Mr. Casper
     left Winston-Salem to go to Mexico where he is having a modern
     whiskey manufacturing plant built. He had complained to friends at
     Winston-Salem, of heart trouble before he left but it was not
     thought to have been of a serious nature.
     
     The deceased came to Winston-Salem about 30 years ago from ROWAN
     COUNTY where he was born.
     
     He was associated with W. B. Ellis in the tobacco manufacturing
     business for a number of years, and later he entered the same
     business for himself. He was in business for many years at Winston
     and many other points in the county. He was one of the organizers
     of the Basketeria stores of Winston. The remains will be shipped to
     Winston for interment, although it will require six or seven days
     to reach the city.
     
     He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Anna Casper, one daughter, Mrs.
     John D. Lambe, and one son John L. Casper, Jr. He is also survived
     by his father James L. Casper of China Grove. Written by a friend,
     P. J. Hemming.
