Mary A. Cassady of Joplin in 1871, and had resided in this immediate vicinity all his life,
and for twenty years or more in Higbee. He was the father of four children, but one of
whom, Mrs. John Lynch, of this place, survives, the others dying in infancy.
Deceased had been practically blind for twenty-three years, and entirely so for the
past ten, and was further afflicted two years ago by paralysis, which left him as helpless
as an infant, but which fortunately did not affect his speech.
Following the death of his wife eighteen months ago, he was given every care and
attention by his daughter, who never neglected him for a single moment, day or night.
He bore his sad lot uncomplainingly, never uttering one word of protest, but death no
doubt came to him as a happy release.
He was an honest, conscientious christian gentleman, and was held in the highest
esteem by all who knew him, and all feel that in his passing a good man has gone to his
reward.
Besides his daughter he is survived by one brother, John Cook, of College
Springs, Ia., now almost 85 years old.
Funeral services will be held at the home today at 1 o'clock and interment made
