The Creston Daily Plain Dealer
October 15, 1912Yesterday about four thirty Cassey Hascall, a man just in the prime of life, went from the house to the barn, at the family home, 604 S. Pine street, and was found about 6:00 o'clock lying dead in a pool of his own blood.
The father of the young man discovered the body with all the surrounding evidence indicating that he met death at his own hand. A 22 caliber rifle had evidently been used and the shot has entered the head just back of the right ear. The face was covered with blood and the left hand also, as though that hand had benn passed back of the head and used to hold the muzzle of the rifle in position and the weapon discharged by the other hand.
Mr. J. B. Harsh who lives next door to the stricken home, at once notified Coroner McKee, who called a jury consisting of Jim Reynolds, Mat Conway and J. M. McMurtry, and after an inspection of the body and the wound they were dismissed until 10:00 o'clock Wednesday. Early in the evening the body was removed to the McGregor undertaking rooms.Cassey Hascall has lived with his father and sister and was a carpenter by trade and an excellant workman. The father has been for a long time in the employ of the McGregor Furniture and Undertaking Co., and the family bear a good and enviable reputation in the community.
The young man has had a physical weakness from his youth, that impaired his health and made him dispondent at times. In his early life he said he did not expect to live to be very old, and it is thought he had become discouraged, and in a fit of despondency determined to take his own life.
The blow to the family is a heavy and painful one and they will recieve the sympathy of everyone who knows of the sad circumstance.

March 26, 1919Another pioneer of the Redington country has gone on to a new and untried world, in the person of William S. Hascall, who settled about eight miles southeast of Redington over thirty years ago and lived there up to the time of his death.
Mr. Hascall had many friends and few enemies, for he was conservative in speech and action. He went through all the hardships incidental to pioneering, and accumulated a competence through his tenacity of purpose in staying with the country until property became valuable.
He was born near Cameron, Ill., on February 14, 1848, and died suddenly from heart trouble at his home near Redington on March 23, 1919, being a little over seventy one years of age. He was married at Galesburg, Ill., on March 14, 1871, and leaves a wife, four sons and one daughter to mourn his loss.
Mr. Hascall lived for a time at Creston, Ia., and the Creston Plain Dealer speaks very kindly of him and the friendships he made at that place.
William Safford Hascall was a farmer.
