Mrs. Cassidy was the widow of the late William Cassidy, who was the first W.M. of King Solomon's Lodge, A.F. and A.M., Toronto. She was favoured with good health until about three weeks ago, when she fell and fractured her wrist, and was unable to withstand the shock. She leaves one son, Solomon, of the Globe, and one daughter, Mrs. George W. Sharp, Delaware Avenue.
