      Obituary Reads:

      Life to each individual is a precious possession. Perhaps we do not think of it often enough.

      We all know that life is uncertain and death is certain. It is no respector of persons.

      But when occasions such as this come before us, these lines are brought to our mind-

      This mortal live is but a passing breath,

      All roads we travel lead to one called Death.

      Can this be the end of man?

      Those who think thus do not understand.

      Our ruler, our God, and God's eternal plan,

      Thus would we pay tribute to this brother, uncle, neighbor and friend.

      Casel Roach, born Oct 25, 1912 the son of William F. and Elizabeth Sanders Roach.

      And departed this life in the Orange County hospital on Sept. 10, 1976 at the age of 63 years 10 months and 28 days.

      Casel was the second child born into a home with thirteen brothers and sisters and reared in a generation where farming was the principle source of livelihood and it was quite natural that this should be his early occupation in life. On August 23, 1941 he was critically injured in a car accident and although it left him crippled for the rest of his life, he bore his affliction well and continued to make a home for himself until the past three years when he made his home with his sister, Anna Jane.

      Casel was never a member of any church, but he repeated many times that he never did any harm to his fellow-man, that he ever knew of and left the assurance with his loved ones that all was well with his God.

      He leaves to mourn, three brothers and six sisters: Glenwood of Orleans, Arthur of Fort Wayne and Edmund of Paoli, and Mrs. Olive Smart, Huntington, Mrs. Betty Grim, Orleans, Mrs. Anna Jane Moore, West Baden and Mrs. Genevieve Walton, Mrs. Estelle Gehl and Mrs. Lula Patton, all of Paoli; and a host of nieces and nephews.

      Preceding him in death was his father and mother, two brothers and two sisters.

      Nothing can be more peaceful than to enter into that quiet untroubled sleep from which the sorrows and cares of earth are forever shut out.

      So let us say that the Angel of Peace has come and carried out loved one into the land of Eternal Rest , but we would say:

      That there is no time that we could set for parting

      We who must remain

      Are never ready for such pain,

      Even our prayers would be;

      Not Yet.

      Not yet, dear God - another day

      With us let our brother stay.

      We must believe, when falls the blow

      That wisely, God has willed it so.

      Card of Thanks

      We wish to express our thanks to Orange County Hospital, the doctors, Dillman-Ellis, the singers, the pallbearers, and to the many friends who called at the time of the death of out loved one.
