AT REST IN CAVE HILL

Funeral Services Over The Remains of Mrs. A. Casseday

The funeral of Mrs. A. Casseday, who died last Monday night at the residence of the Rev. C. E. Cralk, took place yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock from Christ Church Cathedral, the Revs. Dr. Snively, George Grant Smith and M. M. Benton officiating. The remains were interred in Cave Hill Cemetery.
Few women were more widely known in Louisville than Mrs. Casseday. She was the widow of Alexander Casseway, who served on Gen. Buckner's staff, and was present at the storming of Fort Donelson, where he was taken prisoner. He was taken North and died while in confinement. Mrs. Casseday never recovered from the shock of the news of her husband's death, and for over thirty years had been an invalid as the result of the blow. The greater part of this time Mrs. Casseday spent on the old Cralk homestead, at Kanawha, three miles from Louisville, near Crescent Hill.
About a week ago she visited the family of Rev. C. E. Cralk, and became very ill at the house, never rallying after taking to her bed. Three children survive the deceased; They are Morton Casseday, the well-known newspaper and insurance man; Mrs. Maxwell Kilbert, of Chicago, and Alexander Johnson Casseday, of Augusta, GA.
