Daniel Cassidy, for many years well-known and highly esteemed resi-, dent of Waterbury, died yesterday af ternoon at his home, 76 South Leonard street. Besides his wife he leaves live children, Mrs William Fitzpatrick, Mrs D. H. Tierney, Mrs John Stephenson ol New York, Mrs John Lawlor and Dan- iel Cassidy. The deceased was en- gagged in business for eighteen or twen- ty years and was well liked by every body. Until recently he was active in society matters, especially in everything that pertained to Irish national affairs and was generous contribu- tor and hard worker for every thing that had that end in view He was one of the twenty or twenty-five citizens of this town who accompanied the remains of the late stephen J. Meaney as far as New York, when they were being conveyed to Ireland for interment many of whom have since been called to their reward, and those who were present and who are still living will remem- Der MT Cassidy as one of the most agreeable gentlemen in the party. He had warm heart for everybody, want ed to see his neighbors prosper and never was known to utter an unkind word of fellow man. Some years ago he made trip to his native home in Ireland and up to the time of his death he could tell interesting reminis" censes of his explorations about the scenes Of his bOyhood He had keen sense of humor and when in the com panionship of men congendal to his tastes he could tell timely joke and enjoy similar onduct on the part Of those about him. Until recently he was prominent figure on the streets and at gatherings of Irishmen, but since his health became impaired he spent nearly all his time in the quiet of his own home. Mir Cassidy was charitable man and at the same time quite provident so that while he was a cheerful giyer to what he considered worthy objects, he managed to retain and acquire competence for himselr and his family The funeral will take place from the house to St PatricR's church at 80 o'clock Sunday after noon. The interment will be in the family plot in St Josephs cemetery. Mrs Elizabeth Phelan died this morning at her home, 95 Stone street. Mrs Phelan was one of the old resi- dents of that part of the town and was held in high esteem by her neighbOrs. She leaves five children, Michael, Fin ton and John Phelan. Mrs John Nugent and Mrs Elizabeth Bacon, all of this city with the exception of Mrs Nu- gent, who resides in Hartford. She also leaves thirty grandchildren and one great grandchild. A rather pc culiar coincidence in connection with her death was that one of her great grandchildren, the months old child of Mr and Mrs Philip Reilly of Charles street, died about the same time, so really the great-grandmOther and the little tot passed into the unknown world together. Until the past few weeks Mrs Phelan was the picture Of health and nobody seeing her about her household duties would suspect that with the exception of one or two others she had lived longer in that dis trict than any oc her neighbors. Her husband. John Phelan. died several years ago. leaving her with a small family. but she was equal to the emer- gency and made the most Of her oppOr. tunities, bringing up her children creditably and leaving them reputa- ton for honest dealing and right living which they can always point to with pride. She was a native of Queen s county. Ireland. and had resided in Waterbury for over half century, most of which was spent in the neigh bOrhood where she died. Her maiden name was Campion and she was the last survivor of a large family of boys and girls. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon.
