Information: CASTO RITES HELD SUNDAY - Funeral services for Mrs. Kate Casto, widow of the late George N. Casto, were held from the Ripley United Brethren church Sunday afternoon with the Rev. L. R. Mahoney in charge and burial in the Pine Hill cemetery.  The Vail mortuary had charge of the funeral arrangements.  Mrs. Casto died at the Ripley home last Wednesday morning about five o'clock.  Death came suddenly and without warning.  She awoke and called to Mary Jane Casto, who was staying with her, that she was getting cold and wanted more bed covers.  After Miss Casto had got the covers for her, she told her to go to a neighbor's home and call a physician.  She did this and the physician arrived within a few minutes to find the aged woman dead.  She is survived by two sons, Oley E. Casto, of St. Paul, Minnesota, who flew here for his mother's funeral, and Warren Casto, of Akron; two sisters, Mrs. E. C. Tolley of Ripley and Mrs. Della Wright of Akron; three brothers, E. D. Scarberry of Belgrove, John Scarberry of Yuma, Arizona, and Henry Scarberry of Ohio.  She is also survived by six grandchildren.  The husband, who was deputy clerk of the county court for many years, died about four years ago.
