Warren Casaday 50 Year Anniversary
Picture (1917)
My mother is in this one..in
front of her mother Mary. In
front, she's 6th from
left..about 12 or 13. Her
brothers are second from left
and 4th from left. Grandma Mary
is 5th.
I do recognize his other
daughters and son George. They
changed a LOT between teen
years...the 50th anniversary
picture and old age. Maybe we
all do.
George was just behind Warren's
wife Eliz Monroe. George married
Elizabeth's brother (John's)
widow and she's peeking around
Hattie (Warrens youngest
daughter) who is holding the
baby. I assume the two
women to Warrens left are his
daughters Grace Evans (now that
I look closer, I do recognize
her) and Gertie Waalk. The
couple at the right end of the
picture I don't recognize and
that puzzles me. Maybe one of
Grace or Gertie's daughters?
Mary is in the light colored
skirt closer to the front and my
mother Esther Beeler is to the
side and front of Mary in the
dark skirt. She would have been
12. |

Warren
Casaday -
Monona
Leader -
Dec. 11,
1924
Elizabeth
Monroe
Mrs. Warren
Casaday who
was one of
the noble
citizens of
our
community
passed to
her eternal
reward last
Friday, Dec.
5th, after
having been
unconscious
for one day
as a result
of a
paralytic
stroke.
Her services
were held
from the
Methodist
Church,
Monday
afternoon
and her body
was quietly
laid to rest
in the City
Cemetery.
Elizabeth
Casaday,
whose maiden
name was
Monroe, was
born June
24, 1846 at
Ontario,
Canada. She
died at her
home in
Monona,
Iowa, Dec.
5th, 1924,
at the age
of 78 years,
5 months, 11
days.
Her mother
died when
she was a
child,
twelve years
of age.
After the
death of her
mother she
came from
Canada with
her
Grandmother,
Mrs. Julia
Gregg. In
our
community
she has
lived
practically
ever since.
After she
was grown to
womanhood
she taught
school for a
number of
years.
On Sept. 26,
1867, she
was united
in marriage
to Warren
Casaday.
They started
the building
of their
home ties on
a farm near
Monona. And
to her home,
her husband,
her
children,
her church
and her
country and
friends she
consecrated
the best of
her
endeavors.
She belongs
to the best
of our noble
women. She
was a
home-builder
and a
companion
who will be
much missed
by these who
knew her
best.
To this
happy union
were born
two sons and
four
daughters of
which two
sons
preceded the
mother in
death.
In 1899 Mr.
and Mrs.
Casaday left
the farm and
built
themselves a
cozy home in
the southern
part of our
city, where
they have
had their
home ever
since. The
neighbors
and friends
who knew
Mrs. Casaday
best said;
“She was an
excellent
woman”. She
was a hard
worker,
honest and
faithful to
all trusts.
Love, faith,
hope and
courtesy and
friendship
around these
everlasting
qualities
and virtues
her who life
was
centered.
Early in
life she
joined the
forces of
the church
and remained
true to her
covenant to
her very
end. She was
one of those
admirable
women who
endeared
herself to
all with
whom she
came in
contact. And
yet it was a
life that
was
beautifully
simple.
Greatness in
every realm
attains its
best in
simplicity.
This is
especially
true in
character.
For many
years Mrs.
Casady was
Sunday
School
Superintendent
and Sunday
School
Teacher.
Also she was
interested
in affairs
of public
life. For
many years
also
Chaplain and
President of
the Women’s
Relief
Corps.
Her habits
of life drew
the noble
and good
toward her
here; the
noble and
good, we are
sure, are
already
drawn toward
her there.
Mrs. Casaday
leaves to
mourn her,
bereaved
companion
and husband,
Mr. Warren
Casaday, and
her four
daughters;
Mrs. Grace
Evans of
Weyerhaeuser,
Wisconsin.,
Mrs.
Gertrude
Waalk of
Monona, Mrs.
Mary Beeler
of Waukon,
Iowa, and
Mrs. Harriet
Barker of

grandchildren,
6 great -
grandchildren,
and other

and many
friends.
"Hearts are
dust,
hearts’ love
remain.
Heart’s love
will meet
Thee again."
"A soul can
split the
sky in two,
And let the
face of God
shine
through."
Elizabeth
Monroe born
in Canada of
Scotch &
French
parents came
to U. S. in
1848 and
married
