Update: I shut the server down and the node finally disappeared from the status.
I then restarted the server on the similarly named node (dc1-cass14) and it came up...however, it is UJ. Was this due to the amount of time spent unavailable?

When I tried adding it again it was taking a LONG time to join. I tried draining before stopping the service but that failed. I killed the process and cleared the directories but the cluster status still shows this node as UJ despite the Cassandra service not running on that node. I tried removenode force but got this message back: node to be removed is not a member of the token ring I tried assassinate but the node is still UJ according to nodetool status even though the service is not running on the affected node. I read an article on datastax but that was concerning gossip purge and referred to removing data from the Cassandra/data/system/peers-UUID directory. However, I saw no directory with anything which resembled the UUID of this anomalous node on any of the nodes in the cluster. How can I remove this from the cluster/ring so that I can re-add? Marc
