- Grizelle Wheeler Cassity was born in Marion County, Kentucky, Feb. 20, 1846 and removed with her parents to Hold County, Mo., when about five years of age. In 1958 her father, Lawrence R. Wheeler, moved with his family to Nemaha county, Kansas, and settled on a farm about four miles south of Sabetha, on what is now known as the Kenreigh farm. There the deceased spent her happy girlhood days and grew to womanhood.
In 1962 she was married to martin P.M. Cassity, and removed to Wetmore, Kansas. Three children were born of this marriage, George M., Mary and Galen E., respectively. The daughter, Mary, died at the age of two years and was buried in the Wetmore cemetery. Her two sons still survive her. Geo. M. is a grain dealer and resides at Tonkawa, Okla. Galen E. is a practicing attorney resided in Kansas City, Mo.
Her marriage was not a happy one, and as a result of it she separated from Mr. Cassity in the Spring of 1882, and removed to a farm near Bern, Kansas, where her boys grew to manhood.
She claimed Bern as her home until the fall of 1901, when she went to El Reno, Okla., and there spent the winter with her sister, Mrs. Mary H. Magill. In the following spring she took up her abode with her son, G.E. Cassity at Hobart, Okla., and there remained with him until he removed to Kansas City, Mo.
Her last illness, which extended over a period of 8 months, was attended with great suffering at times, but her death seemed like a peaceful dream, a gradual sinking into a deep slumber, from which there is no earthly awakening.
Aside from her two sons, she is survived by her two sisters, Mrs. Alice Wise of Stillwater, Okla., and Mrs. Mary H. Magill, of Long Beach, Cal., and her father L.R. Wheeler, also of Long Beach.
The funeral services were conducted by Dr. W.F. Richardson, of the First Christian Church of Kansas City, and the remains were interred in Mt. Washington Cemetery on Monday Sept. 4th.
