Mr. Cassidy, of this review, was

Wolverine state. In 1868 he came to
California and has since been identified with the mining interests of this
locality, having at different times filled the position of foreman for several
mines of this district. He was united in
marriage to Miss Tobin, a lady of Irish birth, who was reared in the Empire
state, and their union was blessed with six children, Fred F. being the third
in order of birth.

large stockholder and a director of the hardware firm of Brady & Cassidy,
and is the resident agent of the Milwaukee Mechanics’ Insurance Company.
In politics Mr. Cassidy is a
Democrat. He is a valued member of the
Native Sons of the Golden West, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks,
and is a young man of sterling worth, well liked in social circles and justly
merits the confidence of the business public.
