Casady, 86, Western Oklahoma's oldest Justice of the Peace, died suddenly at his home in Cheyenne, Thursday March 30, 1932. He was apparently in good health having spent Wednesday in his office. He dressed as usual Thursday morning and after doing his early morning chores he complained of having a pain in the region of the heart, and returned to his bedroom and died within in a few minutes. J.R. Casady was born in Kentucky and moved with his parents at the age of five to Illinois where he lived on a farm near the home of Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was a frequent visitor at the Casady home often eating Sunday dinner there. Although young at the time Mr. Casady always retained a vivid and distinct memory of the Civil War president. The Casady family moved to Texas when Mr. Casady was a boy in his teens and there he joined the Confederate army at the age of about 15 to fight against the side of the north. He served with General Joe Shelby's border cavalry, operating in Texas, Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee. Mr. Casady was a member of "unreconstructed rebels" that started to Mexico after the close of the Civil War and disbanded at Corpus Christi, Texas and was never discharged. In 1892 Mr. Casady with others attempted to make the run for homes in the C & A country but on account of flood waters of the North Fork of the Red River were delayed one day arriving at Cheyenne April 20, 1892 and remained a resident continously until the time of his death. He was a carpenter by trade and build the first homes in Cheyenne. He served as Justice of the Peace of Cheyenne for over 30 years. Mr. Casady made friends with the Indians as well as the white man and in an early day when an Indian was killed and the Cheyenne Indians were preparing to go on the warpath Mr. Casady was the man sent to the Indian reservation to make peace. The Indians kenw him as "Old Man" and it was very largely through his efforets on his occasion that the people who were then living in Cheyenne were not masscared by the Indians who were in war paints and dancing war dances when he arrived. He died at home on the lots he staked in Cheyenne the next day after the run. He is survived by his widow 83 years, 5 children, 21 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren, most of whom were present at the funeral. The children are W.R. Casady of Cheyenne, Ott Casady of Cody, Wyoming, Oscar of Cheyenne, Mrs. R.M. Herring and John C. Casady of Cheyenne.
