Casper is not gone, he has only been relieved of earthly burdens. Such characters never die in the hearts of fellow sojourners. Those of us who were privileged to know him and no one ever forgot him, his cheerfulness was ever an inspiration to weaker souls who lack his inherent courage. It is a great privilege to meet a character who can carry on so great a struggle so cheerfully that no struggle is apparent. Yet Casper was all of that. I can think of no words which so fittingly end this tribute to a brave life, as Tennyson's Immortal Crossing the Bar.

He was the son of John and Mary C. Keller. He spent his entire life in the community in which he was born.
Casper was stricken with acute appendicitis from which medical skill and loving care failed to relieve him. Besides his parents, he is survived by the following brothers and sisters, Mrs. Eulah L.

At the ate of fourteen he suffered an injury from an accidental rifle shot and thru weary months he was a patient sufferer, finally recovering to the extent that he could leave his wheel chair for crutches with the aid of which he has since walked.
