Notes for George William Caswell
Although I know little about George, I have a special feeling for him.
On my last visit to England in July 1995, I went to the Yatesbury church to
check on a tombstome of William Casswell.
As I entered the yard I saw a man cutting the grass. He stopped and e chatted
a while. He knew who I was and proceeded to tell me many stories about
George's parents. His name was Fred James Goddard.

Then he looked up and said he had something for me back at his house.
We went back to 4 The Lymers and he presented me with George's bible . Inscribed
inside - George William Caswell -with love from his Father& Mother o n his 17th
Birthday. Nov 25th 1910.

When Pheobe was old and alone, Fred's mother looked afterher. She ga ve her
George's bible in appreciation for the care. Fred and his wife felt t hat I
should have it, so it is now, once more, in the families hands. I was very
moved by this warm gesture.
