I found it interesting that you are posting an obit for a Casady. I am researching my family and thought maybe you could be a connection. My gggrandfather was said to be James R Casady b. 1847 in Ill.he married a Lanora (lenora?) Poole b. abt 1850. They had children , this is where I need help. My ggrandfathers name was Joseph Madison Casady b. abt 1870 he m. Laura Arnold. Would you happen to be of this line and if so , do you have the names of Josephs siblings? I have several census reports that list the children as Joseph, Willie, Artra, Oscar, and Sallie in 1880 Tx. Casady was spelled Casaday in this census. I also found a 1870 census showing a Joseph Poole (50) m. (Amanda Vardamon (40) with a Lanora and James Cassada (20 & 23) living with them in Tx. Joseph Poole b in Ala. and Amanda b. in Miss. Lanora was b. in Miss. Thanks for any help you may be able to give me. Susan
