Mrs. Iaabella Casebeer

Mrs. Isabella Casebeer died at an early hour Friday morning, at the residence of 
Dr. J. M. Louther. Her death resulted from injuries sustained on Decoration Day, 
when a horse she was driving in her market wagon ran away. The deceased was 
about sixty-five years of age. Her husband, Aaron Casebeer, and two daughters 
survive. The funeral took place at the Casebeer Lutheran Church in Somerset 
township, Monday afternoon. Mrs. Casebeer's death has occasioned sincere regret 
among her host of friends, who esteemed her for her many Christian virtues. If 
the story as told on the streets is true, the death of Mrs. Casebeer should be 
investigated by the proper authorities. It is to the effect that the horse on 
trial was represented to be perfectly safe, when in fact the beast was vicious 
and had run away on at least one former occasion.

[Note: Looking up the date referenced this indicates death occurred on 5 June 
1891.  The Year of death on her headstone in Casebeer Lutheran Church Cemetery 
does not appear to be correct (1890 vs the actual 1891).] DF
