WILLIAM W. CASSEDAY, farmer; P. O. Mason. The subject of this memoir was born in the place where he lives, Oct. 31, 1817; he is a son of John Casseday, of whom a mention is made in this volume; his early life was passed on the farm and in a manner common with pioneer boys; school advantages were poor, and he only received such education as could be gotten in the subscription schools; he remained at home with his parents till his marriage, which was celebrated Sept. 12, 1845, with Judith, a daughter of Bernard and Rebecca (Hall) Ver Bryck, old settlers of this county. After his marriage, he continued on the old home farm as before, and, up to the present time (1882), his entire life’s work has been done on the land that was his father’s and grandfather’s before him. The children of Mr. and Mrs. Casseday were six in number, of whom five are living, viz., Alonzo, Frank P., William W., Martha (now Mrs. Slade) and Hattie O.; Rebecca J., deceased. Mr. Casseday owns 160 acres of land, which is in a high state of cultivation and well improved; he is a modest and unassuming gentleman, with no desire whatsoever for notoriety, and has never been as aspirant for the empty bauble of local office. To the Mason Horse Rangers he has belonged since the organization of the society, and is Republican in politics. |
