1835 - 1925 (90 years)1. Nancy Armstrong Cassity was born on 6 May 1835 in Bath County, Kentucky; died on 13 Nov 1925 in Cunningham, Chariton County, Missouri; was buried in Stutsman Cemetery, Cunningham, Chariton County, Missouri. Notes:
A Good Woman at Rest.
Nancy A. Cassity was born near Owingsville, Bath Co., Kentucky, May 6, 1835, and passed away of pneumonia, November 13, 1925, age 90 years, 6 months and 7 days.
She was the daughter of Alvah and Elizabeth Trumbo Cassity. She was married in 1854 to Adam Stutsman in Lee Co. Iowa, near West Point, and Ft. Madison. In 1856 they removed to Chariton Co Missouri, buying land and establishing a home in Cunningham township, where they lived continuously till about 1897, when they sold the farm, afterwards making their home in Brookfield until the death of Mr. Stutsman in December 1915. Since then Mrs. Stutsman has been with her children, spending most of her time with her daughter, Mrs. John Dryden in Sumner, Missouri, at whose home she was called to her reward.
Though nine children came to bless this pioneer couple’s home, but thee survive: Mrs. John Dryden, of Sumner, Mo.; Mrs. Nellie Herlinger, of Brookfield and Miss Naomi Stutsman, of Oakland, California. There are six grand children.
She united with the Christian church at the age of 20 years, and remained strong in the faith until the end.
Funeral services were conducted at the home, Sunday, Nov. 15, 1925 at 2 p.m. In the absence of the minister, who could not be present, her friend and neighbor, Mr. Robt. Graham had charge of the service, reading from St. John’s Gospel, 11th chapter, and offering prayer, which together with the songs were in keeping with her sweet simplicity in life.
Interment by Director Thorne, of Sumner, in the Stutsman cemetery.
The bereaved have the sympathy of many friends. But the light of her presence shines on to bless those who knew her and to bring tribute to her memory. How good is Good! And how venerable is age! Ninety full years and past. Her years were God’s good measure pressed down and running over. And they were good years, for one spoke of her very recently, “I’ve known Mrs. Stutsman all my life and I never heard her speak an unkind word of anyone.” A record proud, worthy of emulation.
She kept her interest in good things. She companioned with her Bible, with poetry and other good reading besides her home beloved and her friends.
Loveable she was with charity for all and malice toward none. A “Thank you,” for every ministration in her behalf while she could yet speak.
Ninety active years! Tis’ enough, come up higher. Peace indeed be to her ashes, for he giveth his beloved sleep.
A Friend.
