HENRY CASSIDY, proprietor of the Daniels House at Jasper, Ind., took charge
of that hotel in April, 1885, coming from Otwell, Pike Co., Ind., where he
had been engaged in the same business.  He was born in Perry County, Ind.,
March 11, 1848, and is a son of Thomas and Easter (Jackson) Cassidy, who
were born in Kentucky, and Perry County, Ind., respectively.  Henry obtained
a good, common school education, and at the age of twenty years moved to
Pike County, where he lived until 1884, with the exception of one year spent
in Kansas.  For eight years after moving to Pike County he taught school,
and in the intervals between terms farmed.  In 1882 he began selling
agricultural implements, at which he has since continued; he has a good trade
and is doing well.  In September, 1870, he married Elizabeth F. Brown, by
whom he is the father of these children:  Robert P., Victor V. and Emma.
Mr. Cassidy has the only American hotel in Jasper, and controls the patronage
of almost the entire traveling public.  He and wife are members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and in politics he is in sympathy with the
Greenback party.
