    • B.F. Cassity Passed Away Sunday, Nov. 6th
      Funeral Service Were Held Last Tuesday; Burial At Enterprise
      Benjamin Franklin Cassity, a son of Andrew and Mandy Cassity, was born April 1, 1880, and passed away November 6, 1938, at the age of 58 years, 7 months and 6 days. He was married to Dela Richardson, April 21, 1901. To this union four children were born, Alice Bull, who preceded him in death some years ; Ida Head of North Salem, mo.; Cecil Cassity of the home; and Earl Cassity of La Fayette, Colorado, who could not attend on account of his health. He leaves seven grandchildren, three brothers and one sister; Mr. Tom Cassity, New Boston, Mo.; Hugh Cassity, Ethel, mo.; Albert Cassity, New Boston, Mo.; and Mrs. Laura Baker of Brookfield. He also leaves a number of nieces and nephews.
      At the age of twenty-one years, he was united with the Church of Christ at Grantsville and he has kept his faith in God, living an upright christian life, a true citizen, a good neighbor, one who will be missed by everyone. He was a devoted husband, a kind and loving father. He will be sadly missed at home.
      A precious one from us is gone,
      A voice we love is still,
      A place is vacant in our home
      White never can be filled.
      The Browning Leader-Record, Browning, Missouri. Thursday, 17 November 1938.
