Bio

McCASHLAND, ORA LEE—Ora L., wife of Charles McCashland of Geneva passed away early this morning at the Fillmore hospital. Further reference will be made. The Nebraska Signal 28 September 1933 page 8 ALSO: Ora Lee Ogg was born in Green County, near Athensville, Ill., December 4, 1876. At the age of four years she came with her parents to Fillmore County, Nebraska, where she grew to womanhood. She moved to Lincoln, Neb., in 1900, where she lived for a number of years. She became associated with William Jennings Bryan in the offices of his paper, “The Commoner.” During the first term in the executive offices of Governor Charles Bryan, she was chief clerk in the finance department, a position of great responsibility, which she was able to fill most satisfactorily, owning to her special preparation as an accountant. That her service and personality were appreciated and remembered is attested to by the presence among the beautiful floral offerings today of one from the governor’s home. Later, on for two years, she was associated with the National Board of Education of the Christian Church with Dr. Harmon in the College Crusade, having as its objective the permanent endowment of our colleges. She was always an active and consecrated member of the Christian church, her dominant faith finding continual expression in her life. She was married to Charles McCashland October 9, 1929, gracing the home with happiness and contentment. She quietly slipped away September 28, 1933, falling into that sleep from which one is only awakened by the touch of the Divine hand, for “Here we have no abiding place, but we look for that city which hat foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” She leaves to mourn her going, yet rejoicing in her faith, her husband, Charles McCashland, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Ogg, six step-children: Ruth, Doris, Harold Donald, Phyllis and Betty; four sisters, Cecil Dunn of LaGrange, Wyo., James of Akron, Col., and Claude of Shickley, and many other relatives and a great company of friends. The funeral service was held at the Geneva Methodist Church Sunday afternoon and was conducted by Rev. Percy R. Atkins of Winfield, Kas. Interment was in the Geneva Cemetery.
