| 356 | Armstrong Cassity Dead Armstrong Cassity, a pioneer settler of this county, died last night at the midnight hour at his home in Purdin, age 69 years. Death resulted from the infirmities of age. Deceased was born in Lee county, Iowa, and came to this county with his parents when quite young where he ever continued to reside. He leaves a wife and five children, children by his first wife. The funeral will probably be today from the residence to the Purdin cemetery. Wm. T. Cassity, of this city attended the funeral of his brother, Armstrong Cassity in Purdin today. The Daily News-Bulletin, Brookfield, Missouri.

| 357 | Arnout, son of Cornelis Vielè, the first settler, married Geeritje Gerritse of Amsterdam; the records mention but three children, - Arnout, Willempie, who married Symon Jacobse Schermerhorn, and Maria (211-3), who married first Matthys Vrooman, and secondly Douwe Aukes of Schenectady. He usually resided in Albany and was for many years provincial interpreter at all the important negotiations with the Indians, and at their yearly gatherings at Albany. On account of their high esteem for him and as a recognition of his services, the Mohawks in 1683 gave him a parcel of land above Schenectady on the north side of the river called Wachkeerhoha. In 1687 while on his way to Ottawa to trade with the natives, he was taken prisoner by the French. (211-4) Espousing the cause of Leisler in opposition to Col. Ingoldsby he was dismissed from his office of interpreter, after which he retired to Long Island (211-5), but being held in "great esteeme with the Indians" and "being a good and faithful interpreter," he was recalled and reinstated in his office. (212-1) At the burning of Schenectady in 1690, his son Arnout was carried away to Canada and remained with the Indians three years, but on the occasion of the attack made upon the Mohawk castles by the French in 1693, he escaped. (212-2) The above mentioned grant from the Mohawks was that parcel of flat land afterwards called the Fourth flat. It is not probable that Vielè settled upon it, or that his title was regarded as good, for it was about this time occupied by Ludovicus Cobes and his son-in-law Johannes Kleyn (212-3), under title received from the trustees of the township in 1684.

| 360 | Arriving on the Eagle with Governor Rising, was Lars Andersson Collinus, a "münster" (minister's) scribe, who soon married Måns Lom's widow. In 1664, Olof Stille's family and the Lom family (with its new father-in-law) moved to Moyamensing on the Delaware River in present South Philadelphia. "Lasse" Andersson later became a justice on the Upland Court. After the creation of Pennsylvania, Lasse Andersson was "naturalized" by William Penn and joined other "antient Sweeds" in signing a deposition (for use against Lord Baltimore) establishing that the Swedes were the first permanent settlers in Delaware, which Baltimore claimed belonged to Maryland. The will of Lars Andersson Collinus, dated 17 July 1689, left his Moyamensing plantation to Michael Nilsson Laican and Andrew Wheeler, who were, respectively, a son-in-law and grandson of Måns Lom.
