Notes

Shared Note
The following note was written by Allen R. Cassidy Dec. 1969 concerning Jane "Jennie" ‏(Dunlop)‏ Cassidy.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN The memoriam for Mrs. F.E. Cassidy was copied on December 25, 1969, a clear bright day, temperature 5 degrees above zero, by her grandson, Allen Robert Cassidy ‏(r 38)‏, fourth child of her third child, Matthew Richard Cassidy.

The Wesleyan was at that time the official paper of the Methodist Church of which my parents, grandparents and great grandparents were members. The paper continues today as the United Churchman. The paper was addressed to the Rev. J.A. Duke ‏(no address)‏ and further addressed to Mrs. George MacDowell, Petersville Church, Queens Co., N.B. Clara Ann ‏(Mrs. MacDowell)‏ was grandmother's first child. She lived to nearly 98 years of age. Her sister, Frances Jane Cassidy loaned the paper to me to copy. She is the last living member of the family of two daughters and six sons, at the time of writing, she is 88 years old.

As a child of 4 or 5 years old, I can remember my grandmother when we came to visit the Homestead at Cassidy Lake, Kings Co., N.B. from our home in Boston, Mass., U.S.A., wher I was born. At the funeral her sons were the bearers. My dad said in a letter to mother, at the time, it was the last they could do for her. My grandfather, Francis Edward, lived on for 19 years. He passed away October 25, 1927. Grown to manhood, I was a bearer and with his son, my uncle, R. Allen carried the casket in and out of the little church, that now bears his name.

In greatful remembrance,

Copied from "The Wesleyan" July 15, 1908

IN MEMORIAM Mrs. F.E. Cassidy, the daughter of Thomas Allan Dunlop, was born at Redford, Ireland, March 6, 1840 and died at Clover Hill, Kings Co., N.B. April 16, 1908. She emigrated to Saint John, N.B. in 1861 and in 1866 was married to him, who now mourns her death.

In her younger days she regularly attended Sunday School and had united with the church. In 1893, during a revivalof religion at Clover Hill she gave herself more fully to the Lord and entered into a richer Christian experience. Her piety was unobtrusive, but sincere and earnest. All in her home and many out of it have felt the elevating power of her consistent Christian character.

It may be said of her, she was always doing good by being good. Blessed with strong common sense and a loving generous heart, she was a help-mate for her husband.

The description of the virtuous woman in the last chapter of Proverbs received in her a loving illustration. The heart of her husband did safely trust in her, she did him good and not evil all the days of her life. She rose early and prepared meat for the household. She girded her loins with strength, she stretched forth her hands to the needy. She opened her mouth with wisdom and her tongue was the law of kindness. Her children rise up and call her blessed and her husand also he praiseth her.

Her mind was imbued with a deep reverence for the things of God. God's name, God's Word, the Sabbath, the Sanctuary, the Christian ministry she regarded with reverence and her reverence was deep because she felt the powers of the world to come. With her firmness of character there was a tenderness of heart, kept tender by the love of Christ.

During her last illness she was very graciously sustained by her Heavenly Father. There was complete resignation to the Divine Will. Patience had its perfect work, with holy tranquility she passed into the presence of the Lord. Her mortal remains were committed to the grave amid the deep sympathy of all classes of the community.


Jane's mother, Mrs. Ann Dunlop, died on December 20, 1889 and is buried in the Cassidy Lake cemetery. However, Stan Cassidy left notes dated Dec 11, 1949 that conflict slightly with the 1889 date. He writes: Jennie Dunlop's mother was Ellen Steen. She came from Ireland with Captain Matt Steen and died in 1892. She married Thomas Dunlop in Ireland. He died there. She had three children: Jennie, Elizabeth ‏(who married and lived in Glasgow, Scotland)‏, and Thomas who died six months after coming to New Brunswick. He was buried at Oak Point. This was before Jennie was married. Ellen Steen's mother was Eleanor Farrell. Jennie Dunlop's great grandfather, Steen, was beseiged in Londonderry in 1691. Grandfather Thomas Dunlop died in Ireland and was buried at Raphoe. An aunt of Ellen Steen married and went to Australia. One of her sons was named Stanley.
