Nancy Kraus of Rosedale, California and great graddaughter of Robert Harry Cassidy says "He and my Great Grandma, Grace Ella Powers Cassidy were, according to many people, the dearest and finest human beings one could ever hope to know. I was only 7 yrs old when he died, but I do remember him slightly."

Jim Bryden believes the name was Harry Robert Cassidy rather than Robert Harry. He also has his birthdate as 19 Apr. 1869.
