MRS. N. f. CASSIDY.
One of our Most Prominent WO-
men Dies at the Home of her
daughter In Winchester.

Mrs. Martha Elizabeth Cassidy,
wife of the late Judge M. M. Cas-
sidy, who had been dangerously
i'll at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. M. T. McEldowney, of Win
chester, answered the call of the
death angel on Thursday morning,
Jan. 5, 1911.
Mrs. Cassidy was in her 73rd
year. She was born at Sharps-
burg. KY, May 81, 1888 and was
a daughter of Andrew Boyd and
wife. In 1859 she was married to
M. M. Cassidy, of Fleming county,
in 1863 they moved to this county,
on the Paris Pike and in 1869 they
purchased and moved to the pres
ent family residence on High
street.
Mrs. Cassidy is survived by
three daughters, Mrs. B. w.
Trimble, of this city, Mrs. M. T.
McEldowney. of Winchester. and
Mrs. M. G. Buckner, of Owens
boro; two sisters, Mrs. VIM.
Withers, of Sharpsburp, and Mrs.
Bette Roe, of Shelbyville.
1t was while on a visit to her
daughter in Winchester last July
that Mrs. Cassidy's condition be-
came cerious and her physicians
deemed it best for her not to be
brought home. For over a year
Mrs. Cassidy had been in failing
health and like the Christian that
she was, she bore her suffering
without complaint.
In the years of her youth she
professed her belief in the Savior
and had always lived life worthy
of an example which others woulc
do well to follow.
Thus another kind and effection

has bid this world her last fare
