    LKH note:
    The date for the twin boy who dies in infancy does not match the dates given by Mary Hedges Reiner.
    However, the probability is very high that there was only one Peter Cassity with infant twin boys in Wetmore Kansas in 1895 and one died.

    W.N. Cassity
    W.N. Cassity, one of the oldest settlers of this community, after a short illness, passed to his eternal rest at the home of his son in Topeka on May 31, 1919, at the age of 87 years, 11 months and 26 days.

    He was born in Rowan county, Kentucky, on June 5, 1831, and came to Kansas in 1858. He was married to Anna Elizabeth Shuemaker in 1861. To this union were born five children: Two daughters, Alma and Dora, deceased, and W.J. Cassity of San Francisco, Cali., F.N. Cassity of Topeka, Kas., and Peter A. Cassity of Wetmore, Kas. W.N. Cassity enjoyed the blessings of good health thru his long journey of life. He was a lover of music, especially the violin, which he played. He became a member of the M.E. church in Powhattan, Kas., in 1875. He was always willing to extend a helping hand when needed and never complained of his condition, but always said everything was for good for those that loved the right.

    The funeral services were conducted by Rev. M.M. McGuire at the M.E. church at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, June 2, after which interment was made in the family lot in Wetmore Cemetery. The many beautiful floral tributes of relatives and friends were mute testimonials of the love and esteem in which this venerable citizen and friend was held.

    Notes:

    MHR note: James married second to Mary D. (Clack) Ringo. She was the widow of Lott Ringo whom she had married 7 September 1815 in Fleming County, Kentucky. Mary and Lott Ringo had 5 children: Fidelia Ringo (m. McPherson), Burtis G. Ringo (m. Nancy), Ann L. Ringo (m. H. T. Prather) , William Wallace Ringo, and Harrier D. Ringo (m. Sapp). Mary D. Clack was the daughter of Moses Clack. Mary D. (Clack) Ringo Cassity had two brother: Dixon Clack and Philip D. Clack.


    MHR note: Mary Ann Cassity is given as "Polly Ann" on the stone. The Hargiss Cemetery is across a very narrow road from the railroad tracks. the graves have coffin-like covers and there is a tiny one beside theirs and a child-sized one next to that, both without inscriptions. The man living next to the little cemetery (James Edward Hall) said several stones had disappeared from the cemetery one night. One may have been that of their son, "Russell" Cassity.


    LKH note: Burials in the Hargis Cemetery were relocated during the Cave Run Lake construction project, 1965-1974. Some burials were relocated to Alfrey Cemetery. However, I can find no information for relocation of James Albert Cassity and his family.
