Notes - Passing Of W.T. Cassity
At his home, one mile north of Linneus, Wm. T. Cassity, one of Linn county’s well known and excellent pioneer citizens, passed away Tuesday morning, May 28th, 1929 at about 12:23 o’clock, following an illness of nine years of rheumatism and which for almost a year had confined him to his bed. While partings occasioned by death are always sad, and though loving hands had ministered to him through all his years of patient suffering, it would seem that this was an instance in which death came as a blessing, bring that relief from suffering which it seemed that only it could bring.
William T. Cassity was born in Lee county, Iowa, January 17, 1852 and was a little past 77 at the time of his passing. He came to Linn county, Mo. in 1856 and located upon a farm north of Linneus, upon a portion of which he was residing at the time of his death. On March 3rd, 1878 he was united in marriage with Miss Aura Garrett, with whom he lived happily until the time of her death which occurred in April 1918. Of this union one child was born, Norman C. Cassity, who survives his father. The deceased is also survived by four grandchildren – Donald, Elizabeth, A.W. and Lucille Cassity. The deceased had long been a member of the Christian church and leaves to posterity the heritage of having been an upright citizen and christian gentleman.
Funeral services will be conducted at the Cassity home this (Thursday) afternoon at 1:30 o’clock and interment will occur in the Linneus I.O.O.F. cemetery.
