    • Pete Cassity Dies.
      Pete Cassity, aged 75 years, brother of A.M. Cassity, of this city, died at his home at Cora Saturday, December 2, 1911, of paralysis. A first stroke had seized him about ten days before his death and he had never fully recovered. The second stroke came Saturday morning and he died a short time afterwards. He was a blacksmith and was widely known in this county. The remains were interred in the Shatto cemetery Sunday.

    • Old Resident Dead.
      Peter Cassity, of Cora, Dies From Effect of appoplexy.
      On last Saturday morning Mr. Peter Cassity, one of the earliest settlers of the county, died at his home in Cora, following a stroke of paralysis about a week previous.
      The funeral was held on Sunday and interment was made in the Shatto cemetery.
      Mr. Cassity was one of the early settlers of this county, coming here with his parents before the war in the early fifties. He had lived here ever since. He was in his 76th years at the time of his death. He lived for many years on a farm west of Milan near the J.W. Henry bridge. Here his father lived. About twenty years ago he went to Cora where he established a blacksmith shop and followed that business as long as his strength was sufficient.
      About a year ago he got hurt while shoeing a horse, having a hip dislocated. From this he never recovered and it doubtless hastened the time of his death.
      Mr. Cassity was a good citizen, a good neighbor, and on needy person every asked aid of him in vain.
      The Milan Republican, Milan, Missouri. Thursday, 7 December 1911.
