  • Notes 
    • Josephine Cassity, nee Pound, was born April 30, 1856 and died at her home in Purdin, Mo., July 19, 1913, as mentioned in the Tuesday Budget. She was married to Armstrong Cassity October 26, 1873. To this union were born six children, five of whom still survive her, namely Victor M. of Des Moines Ia., Chas. A. of Chicago, Mollie E. Bowles of Brookfield, Weaver C., and Fred E. of Purdin.
      The deceased united with the church of Christ while quite young, and remained a consistent member of the same until death. She was a dutiful wife, a loving mother, and a kind neighbor.
      The funeral services were conducted by Rev. C.A. Bowels from the home Sunday at 10:30 a.m., and her body laid to rest in Purdin’s beautiful city of the dead in the presence of a large concourse of sorrowing friends who regret her hasty and unexpected going.
