His educational privileges were those afforded by the public school system of Union township and he was reared to the occupation of farming, early becoming familiar with various duties and labors incident to the development of the fields and the care of the crops. He continued his identification with agricultural pursuits until 1900 and remained upon the home farm until 1884, when he purchased eighty acres of land of Joseph Aller, residing thereon until 1888, when he sold that farm and bought a tract of land of eighty acres from D. B. Copeland. The following year he invested in forty acres of land which he purchased from Mr. Kissinger, but which was known as the Hathaway place and upon this farm he put about one thousand rods of tile. Two years later his house was destroyed by fire, but he did not allow himself to become discouraged by this disaster and at once erected a modern residence, which he continued to occupy until his removal to New London in 1899. He carried on general farming and the neat and thrifty appearance of his fields indicated his careful supervision and practical methods. After taking up his abode in this village he rested from further labor for several years, but in 1904 purchased the lumber business which up to that time had been conducted by A. C. Sater. The business was established by R. H. Peterson and adjoined the yards of the Gilbert & Hedge Company, of Burlington. Later the two interests were consolidated and conducted by the firm of Linder & Carden, successors to T. B. Lee. At a still more recent date Mr. Ganaway became the owner of the business and eventually sold out to A. C. Sater. He continued as proprietor until 1904, when he sold to Mr. Kassel, who is now engaged in the lumber trade, having a well appointed yard and receiving from the public a liberal patronage. His close application and unfaltering energy have constituted the strong directing force in his business life and have resulted in the acquirement of a large and profitable trade. On the 31st of December, 1884, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Kassel and Miss Ratha Estella Hannah, daughter of Sylvester O. and Jane ( Devault ) Hannah. There has been one child born of this marriage, Ruby Belle, whose natal day was April 16, 1887. Mr. Kassel belongs to the Knights of Pythias Lodge, No. 184, of New London and his religious faith is indicated by his membership in the Presbyterian church. Politically he is a democrat, but without aspiration for office, preferring to devote his time and energies to his business affairs. He has never been known to take advantage of the necessities of his fellow men in any trade transactions and is fair and just in all of his dealings, having due regard at all times and under all conditions for the rights and privileges of others.
