NOTE - I cannot explain why the son's name of John R. Cassel appeared on the census as that of his father's name, Richard C. Cassel. It must have been an enumerator error or miscommunication between Pearl Lightfoot-Waiss and the enumerator. In addition, if his birth date was 10 Nov 1921, then his age should have been 8 instead of 7.
