  1. 1.  Mary Ann Hedges was born on 7 Sep 1800 in Fleming County, Kentucky; died on 28 Oct 1838 in Fleming County, Kentucky; was buried in Hargis Cemetery, Morehead, Rowan County, Kentucky.

    Notes:

    MHR note: When Mary "Polly Ann" (Hedges) Cassity died, her body was hauled on a sled drawn by an ox-team which forded a stream to get to Morehead. She is buried in Hargis Cemetery near the rail road tracks in Morehead.

    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.

    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.

Five days after the operations, the time at which Mr. Cassity wrote, Mrs. Cassity was doing well. They expect to remain there for a month or more. Newt was made janitor of the hospital the second day after their arrival at Oneida.

    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.

    Letter From An Old Settler
    The following letter from M.P.M. Cassity, an old and well known settler of Wetmore, was published in the Wetmore Spectator last week. His numerous friends in this county will sympathize with him and his sore affliction.
    Plattesburg, Mo, May 13.
    As I promised to let you hear from me will say that I am about the same as when I left Wetmore. I came her to my sister’s April 26th, after consultation and examination by Drs. Murdock, Morton and McDonald, at Oneida and St. Joseph. They advise me not to have an operation. Said they could perform the operation but there would be great danger in so doing. I was advised by Dr. Murdock, if went to Kansas City to go and see Drs. Minor & Thornton. I have written them and expect reply soon, and if they give me encouragement will go there. If I had plenty of money think I would have an operation and take chances. I feel very thankful to the friends who have assisted me in my great affliction. If I find that my ailment is incurable (which I fear at times at least is true) and I could be cared for there, would rather die at home than elsewhere. I am not afraid to death but dread the pain and suffering prior thereto. Dr. Morton of St. Joe said I should not look at my ailment in that way, that I might outlive him and that I could with local treatment at home or elsewhere be made to feel comfortable. I have to write lying down and am getting weary. I will try and keep you and all who feel interested in my welfare informed. Tell friends to write me here.
    M.P.M. Cassity.

    Death of M.P.M. Cassity
    One of the first settles of Nemaha county passed away from this earth’s trials and tribulations in the death of M.P.M. Cassity who died at the home of his sister in Plattsburg, Missouri, last Tuesday November 12, after a long and distressing illness. The deceased came to Nemaha county in 1955 and was the first assessor in the county, at that time the assessors were appointed for the whole county, and perhaps no man was better know to old settlers than Mart Cassity. He was a lawyer by profession, and until about three years ago, when he took down with his last illness, he practiced law in the town of Wetmore. He leaves two sons, C.E. Cassity a student in the law department of the state university at Lawrence, and Geo. M. Cassity, who resides in Oklahoma. The remains were brought to Wetmore today, Thursday, and will be buried Friday.

    Murder Takes New Twist
    Witnesses tell of auto near scene of Cassity slaying by gangster in Pasadena
    Another mystery automobile was injected into the underworld revenge killing of William J. Cassity, 63 years of age, yesterday at a Pasadena inquest over the body of the man who died before gangsters’ bullets Sunday night because, police assert, he “tipped off” the authorities to active bootleggers in “Little Italy.”
    Before the Coroner’s jury returned a verdict that Cassity came to his death at the hands of unidentified persons with homicide intent, two near-witnesses to the killing told of another car, in addition to the one the gunman used, being in the vicinity of Fair Oaks avenue and Alta Lorna Drive, where the shooting occurred.
    Donald McIntyre, 471 Eldora Road, Altadena, and Herbert Anderson, 3104 North Raymond avenue, Pasadena, each 16, who were driving near the intersection heard the three shots and saw the gunman drive hurriedly away, leaving his victim dying in the street.
    Car Speeds Away
    McIntyre and Anderson also told the Coroner’s jury they saw a small coupe parked at the head of Fair Oaks avenue. After the shots were fired they said the lights of the small car switched on quickly and it sped away. Deputy sheriffs are trying to find a clew to enable them to locate the occupants of the small car.
    After the verdict was returned, the officials agreed that Casity was killed by rum dealers because he “talked too much at the wrong place and wrong time.”
    August Nelson, who resides in the Cassity home, 777 College street, is believed to be the last person who saw the tinsmith alive. He testified he noticed nothing unusual about Cassity’s demeanor when he left home shortly before he was killed.
    Son Warned Father
    A.B. Cassity, son of the slain man, testified he had repeatedly warned his father from informing on bootleggers in the neighborhood in which they lived.
    Deputy Sheriffs Monteleone and Croushorn testified concerning the conditions as they found them when they were called to the scene of the killing by McIntyre and Anderson.
    Capt. Bright, chief of the Sheriff’s homicide squad, declared yesterday that he and his investigators have not the slightest clew to the identity of Cassity’s murder of murderers.

    Obituary
    Died – of quick consumption, after an illness of six months, at the residence of her parents, William N. and Ann E. Cassity, four miles north-east of Wetmore in Brown County, Kansas, at 8 o’clock, a.m., Sunday; June 10, 1888. Mary Alma Jinks.

    Deceased was born in Brown County near where she died, Sept. 25, 1864, and was therefore 23 years, 8 month and 10 days old at the time of her death. She was married to Ernest Jinks Feb. 22, 1882, and leaves a husband and two children, Wm. Curtis, five years old, and Bessie May, two years old. She made a last request of her mother to take care of Bessie. Being the last sister of a family of five she much desired to see Willie, the oldest brother who was in Leadville, Col., and telegraphed for but did not arrive until she had passed away – the realities of which none living knoweth.

    At the early age of eleven years she joined the Methodist church, and lived an upright believer thereafter. She was a loving daughter and sister, dutiful wife, a kind and loving mother, and leaves a grief-stricken husband, father, mother, three brothers, and last but not least two little orphans who had hardly learned to lisp the dear wore, “mother,” then the monster, Death, snatched her from them; shall we say forever? We hope not.

    The funeral took place at the Baptist Church at 3 o’clock Monday afternoon. Rev. T.E. Rolfe delivered one of his very able funeral discourses to some three hundred relatives and friends of the deceased, after which a long train followed the remains to its final resting place in the Wetmore Cemetery.

    The parents and husband of the deceased extend to all who in any way helped them in their sad bereavement, their heart-felt thanks.

    Notes:

    W.C. Jinks
    It was with universal regret that the friends and relatives of this community learned Monday night of the death of W.C. Jinks at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Kansas City. The body was brought to Goff Wednesday noon, accompanied by Mrs. Jinks, Mrs. Bessie Greenwood, sister of the deceased, and W.E. Howland, brother of Mrs. Jinks, and taken to the home of the bereaved wife’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.R. Howland.
    Death was due to a disease of the bones. An injury to the right foot of the deceased last September caused an infection that meant months of suffering. The right limb was amputated several months later in the hopes of benefitting the condition, but the disease steadily grew worse until death came as a relief to the departed Brother.
    William Curtis Jinks was born February 7, 1883, near Goff, Kansas, and departed this life Monday, May 15th, 1916, at 8:00 p.m., at the age of thirty-three years, three months and eight days. Mr. Jinks grew to manhood in this community, and except for a short time has always made this his home. He was manager of the Goffs Telephone Co. for a number of years and has followed that line of work. He held the respect of everyone for his manly virtues, good citizenship and brotherly love. On September 5, 1905, he was married to Miss Florence M. Howland of Goff. Besides Mrs. Jinks, the deceased is survived by his father, Earnest Jinks of Goff, and his sister, Mrs. Bessie Greenwood of Topeka.
    Funeral services will be held today from the Goff Christian church. Rev. A.L. Woods of Valley Falls, former M.E. Minister here and a friend of the deceased, will preach the funeral sermon. Corning Lodge No.13 A.F.&A.M. will have charge of the burial ceremonies at Fairview cemetery, and the last rites of Masonry will consign the remains of a Worthy Brother to the Supreme Architect. Members of the Masonic order will serve as pall bearers.
    The sincere sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved widow, sister, father and other relatives in the lost of a thoughtful husband, brother, son and friend.

    A Terrible Disaster
    While freight train No.36 in charge of Conductor Daniels was coming east and passing through DeSoto, a little town twenty miles west of Argentine about 7 o’clock Saturday morning, the engine, the 1120, in charge of Engineer F.W. Bartell and Fireman W.W. Dortch, exploded just as it reached the Kill creek bridge, which is just at the east end of the DeSoto switch. The force of the explosion wrecked the bridge and into the creek below plunged the engine followed by fourteen cars containing hogs, cattle and merchandise. Engineer Bartell and H.E. Shaw, head brakeman, who was riding in the engine were buried in the wreck. The escape of Fireman Dortch was most miraculous. He was thrown by force of the explosion clear of the wreckage into Kill creek where he caught hold of a piece of driftwood and drifted out into the Kaw river which is only a short distance from the bridge. There he changed to get hold of a piece of one of the demolished cars and on it, wet and half frozen, floated down the rived till rescued by a man in a boat several miles below near Loring on the opposite side of the river. He was taken to a farm house more dead than alive. He has fully recovered and has returned to his home in this city where he was a young wife to whom he was only recently married. The dead body of Brakeman Shaw has been taken from beneath the wreck and was removed to his old home at Topeka for burial. He resided at 34 North Seventh street this city and leaves a wife and child 3 months old. When The Republic went to press the body of Engineer Bartell had not been recovered from the wreck. He resided on South Seventh street this city where he leaves a wife and child. Brakeman Shaw was just making his second trip on the road when he lost his life. The wreck crew from here are getting the wreck pretty well cleared up.
