Information: from Ravenswood News Sandyville items - Since writing my last items for the News the summons of our blessed Master, ""Weary child, come home,"" came to one of our noblest and best loved women -- Miss Cassie Dilworth.  She had gone to spend the winter with her sister, Mrs. Cyrus Crislip of Coolville, Ohio.  She was stricken down with flu, and on New Year's day she answered the great call, ""Come home.""  Words fail to express the sorrow that overshadowed the whole surrounding country when the word went out that the old Dilworth home was broken up.  Miss Cassie, with Uncle Joe and Rachel, had resided in the old Dilworth home shince the death of their parents a great many years ago.  They were loved, not only by the older generation, but by the young as well. When the boys and girls from here who had married and gone to different states came back to the old home town to visit, their first inquiry would be ""How are the Dilworths"", and among the first visits made after greeting home folks would be to the beautiful attractive little cottage home of the Dilworths where they were received with open arms (poem follows)  ..........And on January 1, she passed the roadway's last bend and disappeared from our view though she had long since passed the age of four score and was weary with mingling life's bitter and sweet.  She was intensely interested in the affairs of the day and her friends.  In her earlier days she gave up the prospects of a home and gave her time and strength to the care of her sister's five orphan children at their mother's dying request.  In a letter to the writer Dec. 27, she said ""God knows best but I would be with Joe and Rachel if I could.""  In just four days after writing this letter, she went to join them.
