Cassie Wilson-Dennis

By S. B. Horton

CASSIE WILSON-DENNIS was born in Georgetown, Mich., July 13, 1886, and passed away Aug. 2, 1916, at the sanitarium near Buenos Aires, Argentina, South America. Her parents were Sabbath keepers, and she was baptized at the age of eighteen. The next year she entered Emmanuel Missionary College, where she remained two years preparing for the Lord’s work. At the close of her second year at the college, a call was made for Bible workers for the city of New Orleans, and she was one of those who accepted the call. She and Miss Edna Walker went to New Orleans, and labored successfully in soul-winning for a year and a half.

Sister Cassie decided to attend the Foreign Mission Seminary at Washington, D. C., to prepare for work in some foreign field, and after spending a year at the seminary she sailed from New York, Nov. 20, 1911, for South America. April 3, 1913, she was married to Mr. Allen Dennis, a former schoolmate at the Washington Seminary, and both being acquainted with the Spanish language, they labored together successfully in soul-winning until the time of her death.

Besides her husband she leaves a father, mother, two brothers, and two sisters to mourn her seemingly untimely death. Of a sunshiny disposition, and loyal and devoted to the cause of her Master, Sister Dennis won friends wherever she labored. She was laid to rest in a beautiful cemetery near others who had fallen on the firing line. Elder W. W. Wheeler, of Diamante, Entre Rios, Argentina, had charge of the funeral services.

Memorial services were held in Bauer, Mich., in which Elder William Guthrie, president of the West Michigan Conference, Elder J. M. Wilbur, Miss Edna Walker, and the writer took part.
