    • Death of Charles W. Cassady
      Passing of Another Pioneer Resident of the Section

      The death on Saturday, Oct. 5, of Charles William Cassady of South Dumfries, removes a pioneer resident of the section, and one who spent all his life in aiding to foster and build up the agricultural interests of the country. To such men as him the wonderful development achieved is largely due and when their life's work is done and they pass on to eternal rest it is our duty to honor their memory.

      Born near St. George over 68 years ago, the late Mr. Cassady moved to Blenheim at the age of three years, where he lived continuously until a few months ago. In his early days a good deal of the work about the farm was done with oxen and there was little machinery to lighten the labor of the husbandman.

      In 1884 the deceased married Annie Hunter, who survives, together with the following family: Roy, Sarah and Florence at home, Hunter in Paris, Ernie overseas, and Mrs. Robert McArthur in South Dumfries. A number of brothers and sisters also survive. They are: David in Ayr, Mrs. Marshal Daniels in Hamilton, Mrs. John Petrie, Sr., in Blenheim, Arthur at Hardie Bay, B.C., and Daniel in Paris, Ont.
