| by nature with a magnetic personality,
and possessing all the advantages
which travel and study could add to
her brilliant mind. she was fitted to
adorn the highest circles of society
yet her days were spent in the service
of others. No philanthropic work failed
to receive her full support and she was
happiest when so engaged. Mrs. Cas-
sidy was a member of the Woman's
club, serving with distinction on the
executive board, and also as chairman
of the day nursery committee. She
was the moving spirit of the Helping
Hand society, and recently Joined the
Sacred Heart Aid society, whose good
work made strong appeal to her gen
erous heart. Mrs. Cassidy had resided
in Denver but five years, coming here
from Albuquerque, n. NJ. where she and
her husband spent several years while
the latter was engaged in painting the
pictures of Indian and Mexican life that.
have given him fame. The body ac-
companied by Mr.. Cassidy, was shipped
to Brooklyn, N. Y, for interment. Be
