William Robert Casady, well known resident of Cheyenne, passed away on Tuesday evening, April 6, 1937 at Shattuck hospital, and interment was made in the Cheyenne Cemetery, Cheyenne, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma on Thursday afternoon, April 8, 1937.

Mr. Casady had been in poor health for the past year and had been in the hospital for four weeks previous to the time of his passing.

W. R. Casady was born October 11, 1873 at Hubbard City, Texas, the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Casady.

On November 4, 1894 he was married to Etta Dillinger of Mineral Wells, Texas.

In 1900 he moved to Roger Mills county, Oklahoma and had resided in the vicinity of Cheyenne since that time.

Survivors are his wife and eight children, W. J. "Jack" Casady of Cheyenne, Oklahoma; Esther Perkins of Animas, Colorado; Johnnie Olson of Grimes, Oklahoma; Jim Casady of Gotebo, Oklahoma; Buck Casady of Cheyenne, Oklahoma; Dalona Smith of Las Animas, Colorado; Doris Casady of Cheyenne, and Donna Casady of Cheyenne; his mother, Mrs. J. R. Casady of Cheyenne; three brothers, Ott Casady of Cody, Wyoming; Oscar Casady and John C. Casady of Cheyenne; and one sister, Mrs. Mollie Herring, also of Cheyenne; and a host of grandchildren, nephews, nieces and other relatives.

Funeral services were conducted Thursday in the Baptist church in Cheyenne with Rev. Carleton delivering the sermon.

W. R. had been a member of the local Baptist church for the past 33 years.

Pall bearers were from the local WPA office where he had been employed.

W. R. "Bill" Casady was a quiet unassuming man who chose to walk in the humble path during life.

He was a hard working man, devoting his entire life to labor.

His range of friends reached far, as he was a man who was always ready and willing to assist those in need.
