He was the first of his generation to leave Texas to attend college, in 1879, at age 19, he entered Vanderbilt in Nashville. (Henson and Parmelee, p. 297). He went on to be president of an oil and gas developemnt company in the area of Spindletop. (ibid, pp. 310-311) . The family was willing to explore new opportunities as time and technology changed. Since the company failed to produce sufficient income, however, the family sensibly cut their losses, and fell back on banking, real estate and ranching. (ibid, pp. 311 and 312).

The daughter of Edward CASSAVAUGH and Mary NASH. She was born in Mount Ayr, Iowa, and attended Hopkins (Mo.) High School, graduating in 1973, as well as attending Northwest State University in Marysville, Mo. for two years. She was first married to a CLIFT, and had two sons from her previous marriage. (Milligan, p. 368).
Wynema McGrew shows his first name as Joseph, not John (as per THE SOUTHERN McGREWS GREW), and further shows him as a son of Elias Nathan Cassels and Lucinda Elizabeth Stephenson.
It would appear likely, as well, that their is a connection betwen Joseph Cassels, the husband of Sarah Mildred Margaret Maddox, and Eliza Louise Cassels Warren, mother of Henderson "Stump" Warren, who married Elizabeth Wiles Maddox, a sister of Sarah Mildred's.

Kenneth Morgan wrote that after she was widowed, Penelope supported her three children "by taking in other people's wash. In 1899, at the age of 67, Penelope applied for a pension from Rueben's service. In her application, it states that she had lived in Jasper County since 1850, and that she owned 50 acres of land valued at $50. She stated that she had no income and was in feeble health. Apparently, Penelope could not write, because the application bears an "X" in place of her signature. She died on November 19, 1917 in Kirbyville, TX. The cause of death was listed as old age."

"Milam Cemetery receives marker"
The Texas Historic Cemetery Dedication Ceremony for Milam Cemetery took place on Saturday, October 11, following the annual Nethery reunion...local historian Weldon McDaniel....gave a presentation outlining some of the significant historical events that took place in Milam and the importance of preserving the history of Milam Cemetery. He said as many as 85 percent of all early settlers coming into Texas put their boots in red dirt. Although San Augustine and Nacogdoches counties have a friendly battle over which is older, Milam is just as old as either of them....
Dorothy Nethery Spain had the honor of reading the script engraved on the marker:
"Milam, the first County Seat of Sabine County, has a history of travelers and visitors stretching back centuries. Native Americans and Spanish exploreres, soldiers and missionaries passed through and often camped on Las Boregas Creek. Texian settlers encountering the natural abundance echoed the words of Stephen F. Austin, who recorded in his diary entry of July 16, 1821: "We then suddenly came to an open rolling country thinly timbered soil about the color of Spanish browne, and in some places redder. This Red Land is very productive and is covered with the most luxuriant growth of grass I ever beheld in any country." The settlment first called Red Mound (Red Mount) was the seat of Government for the Sabine District since 1822, and was surveyed as a town site in 1828.
Milam Cemetery is on a high hill overlooking the historic community. The exact dated of the first burial will never be known Spanish Explorers were passing through present-day Milam as early as 1539 and camped on Las Boregas Creek a few hundred yards west of the cemetery. Local hisorians believed Anglo burials occurred here probably as early as 1775, since travelers used the campsite down the hill on the Las Boregas. The land on which the cemetery is located was granted to JOHN SMITH on Feb. 26, 1835. The first marked burial is dated 1864, although more than 100 unmarked graves are suspected. The numerous military Veterans dating back to the Creek War are interred here, as well as prominent early citizens from the CAUSEY, WEATHERRED. McGREW, and NETHERY families. Milam Cemetery may be the oldest organized cemetery in Sabine County, and cherished chronicle of generations of visitors and residents."
