- Cassie was a very spry lady and lived to a substantial age. In terms of her age, she didn't realize how old she was when she turned 100. She had stopped counting a decade or two prior. She was told about a month before her 100th birthday there was a big party planned for her. There were a number of dignitaries in attendance and there was a write up in the paper about it.
Shortly after her birthday, however she went on a hunger strike of sorts and ate nothing but tea and toast each day as she did not want to live to see her next birthday or so the story goes. She died a month or two after her birthday. It was noted she was quite a strong willed woman!
She adopted the daughter of Effie May Puffer and and Edward Faye Auckley, (Maxine Gertrude Ackley).
