He was the 1st son of William Cassady (b 01-May-1826 IN, d 03-Nov-1871, Cass County MO) and Lucy Caroline Wimberly (b Dec-1835, Jefferson County IL, d 28-Sep-1903, Cass County MO). Family tradition is that he died of 'sunstroke'.
OBITUARY - in, "The Harrisonville Cass County News", 19-Apr-1879. "George Cassaday: We have not often been called to attend a more solemn scene than the funeral of him whose name is written above. He was born in Harrison county, this State, October 7, 23 years ago. He was one of those friends that we are always glad to meet, for he always had something good to say to you. He leaves a young wife, (to whom we married him one year ago last Christmas) and a little child. It seems so sad to see a young girl's life and prospects blighted so. Still we know that God is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind. A large concourse of friends attended his remains, on the 7th inst., to their last resting place, in the home of the silent majority. E.T. Ingle"
