Foster C. Casto Dies Suddenly Of Heart Trouble
Rites To Be Held For 32 Year-Old Butcher 2 P.M. Sunday At Waugh’s
Thirty-two-year-old Foster C. Casto, 2119 Chestnut St., butcher at the Evans Packing Co., passed away suddenly at 7 p.m. Thursday at home. Casto, who had been in failing health from heart trouble for a short time, returned home last night, apparently feeling fine, and after eating a hearty supper went to an adjoining room to read the evening paper where he succumbed immediately. Dr. Donald R. Warehime returned a verdict of death from coronary causes.
The decedent, who was born at Hereford, W. Va., August 7, 1917, was the son of the late Allen and Anna Casto. He came here from Mason County about six years ago and has been employed at the Evans Packing house ever since. June 6, 1946, he was married to Miss Jane Coulter, who survives him in addition to two children, Donald Ray, 6 months, and Judith Kay, 6 years, and his mother, who is now Mrs. Anna Black, who made her home with her son.
He is also survived by four sisters, Mrs. Martha Nolan, St. Marys, W. Va.; Mrs. Pearl Mills, New Castle, Pa.; Mrs. Flossie Mattox, Mason, W. Va.; and Mrs. Frances Wright., Spencer, W. Va., and three brothers, Otho, Leon, W. Va.; Harmon, Henderson, W. Va., and Forrest, Mason City. The decedent was a member of the Ohio Valley Grange.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock Sunday afternoon at the C. J. Waugh Funeral Home and interment will be made in Mound Hill Cemetery. The body will be taken to the late home about 5 o’clock this evening, where it will remain until 11 o’clock Sunday, when it will be returned to the funeral home.
