Cass Village
The village of Cass, in the township of the same name, was laid out along the line of the narrow-gauge railroad in the summer of 1880. The post-office from the first had been known as Cass, but the village for some years was called Buell, named in honor of a railroad man. The general store of Pope and Usrey was the principal business establishment for a number of years. Dr. N. H. Brown, as Postmaster and Physician, was also prominent in the early affairs of the village. It was four years after the founding of the village before a religious service was held there, Rev. J. H. Meteer preaching there in September, 1884.
