DOUBLE SURPRISE SUNDAY EVENING -- Mrs. Margaret Cassidy and Son Presented Gifts

The home of Mrs. Margaret Cassidy on Lake Avenue, this city, was the scene of a joyful family reunion, last Sunday, when Mrs. Cassidy's four married children, returned in a body to the old home nest to celebrate Mrs. Cassidy's 56th birthday.

The guests began to arrive after dinner Sunday afternoon, and were greeted by Mrs. Cassidy and by her son, Henry, the only one of the children who lives at home. He also was celebrating his 21st birthday, and it was an amusing coincidence, that each was fully aware that the other was to be surprised in the course of the day, but had no such thought of their own surprise.

A glorious afternoon was spent -- the sons and daughters bestowing hearty congratulations upon their mother and brother on the happy anniversary and the grandchildren knowing that something out of the ordinary was going on, enjoying themselves with all the happiness of childhood.

When the table was spread for tea, with a wealth of good things always to be obtained at "grandma's," there was a little lull in the conversation and then Mrs. Cassidy was presented with a gift of $100 in gold from her two daughters and four sons. When she had somewhat recovered from the surprise, Henry was presented with a signet ring from his mother and brothers and sisters and more exclamations were in order. In the evening a number of friends called to offer congratulations.

The hours passed pleasantly and departure for home was made at a late hour. Mrs. Cassidy is to be congratulated on possessing such a happy family circle, who remember the time which bind them to the old home.

Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. James H. (sic.) Murray, (Miss Mary Cassidy) from Somerville and children, James H. (sic.), Francis M., Margaret F., Edward J., Helen and Anna Murray; Mr. and Mrs. John Cassidy from Winchester and children, John F., Margaret H., Charles, Kathleen and Francis; Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Cassidy from Waverly and children, Margaret and Henry J.; Mr. Edward Cassidy, Lynn; Mr. and Mrs. Albert B. (sic.) McDowell, (Miss Margaret Cassidy) from Malden.

_____________________________________________________________

She is likely listed in the 1930 U.S. Census as living in Woburn, age 75, a widow, with a sister, Rose Cassidy, age 71, also a widow. Rose is listed as having arrived in the U.S. in 1881.

Children of HENRY CASSIDY and MARGARET DEVER are:

3. i. JOHN FRANCIS³ CASSIDY, b. May 1876, Glenties, County Donegal, Ireland; d. Jan 19, 1968, Winchester, Massachusetts.

4. ii. MARY ANASTASIA CASSIDY, b. Sep 05, 1878, Glenties, County Donegal, Ireland; d. Jan 21, 1956, Boston, Massachusetts.

iii. JAMES CASSIDY, b. About 1882, Glenties, County Donegal, Ireland; d. 1887, Woburn, Massachusetts.

MISS CASSIDY GIVEN SHOWER LAST NIGHT -- Surprised With Linen Gifts On Returning Home from Walk --

About fifty friends of Miss Margaret Cassidy, of Lake Avenue, surprised her at her home last evening and made her the recipient of a linen shower. Miss Cassidy was taken completely by surprise, having been induced by Miss Mary McGrath and Miss Marie Gilday to go for a walk from which she returned to find the house darkened. On stepping inside she was showered with multitudinous gifts of linen by her friends from points of vantage on the stairway and in the hall.

After this pleasing ceremony the guests gathered in the parlor where vocal selections were rendered by Miss Marjorie Esterbrook, Miss Mary McGrath, Miss Josephine Roche and the hostess herself. Miss Beatrice Granger and Miss Annie Norton played piano solos.

Miss Cassidy is well known in local amateur theatrical circles, being a fine singer. She is to be married September 27 to Albert McDowell of Malden.

Among those who participated in the shower party were: Mary McGrath, Catherine Roche, Josephine Roche, Annie Norton, Kathryn Whalen, Lena Greeno, Annie McManus, Mrs. Joseph Meehan, Carrie Armstrong, Emma McNeil, Mrs. Adelia M.

MISS MARGARET CASSIDY A BRIDE -- Was Married to Mr. Albert Edward McDowell --

The home of Mrs. Margaret Cassidy, 20 Lake Avenue, this city, was the scene of a festive gathering last evening, when the doors were thrown open to enable the relatives and friends of the family to tender their good wishes to Miss Margaret Florence Cassidy, who last evening became the bride of Mr. Albert Edward McDowell.

Miss Cassidy is the daughter of Mrs. Margaret Cassidy of Woburn and Mr. McDowell is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert McDowell of Malden. The ceremony was performed at 7 p. m. at the St. Charles Parochial residence by Rev. James J. Keegan.

The couple were attended by Miss Mary McGrath of Woburn as bridesmaid and Mr. Elmer McDowell of Malden as best man. Miss Margaret Murray, the bride's little niece acted as flower girl and it is a pretty coincidence that Miss Cassidy took that part at the wedding of the child's mother, her sister. [i.e. Margaret Florence Cassidy acted as flower girl to her sister, Mary Anastacia Cassidy, at her marriage to James J. Murray].

The bride was attired in an exquisite dress of ivory Duchess satin trimmed with pearls and rich Irish lace. She wore a bridal veil caught up with orange blossoms and carried a shower bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley. The bridesmaid's dress was of pink chiffon with an overdress of pink satin and she carried pink bridal roses. Little Miss Murray, the flower girl appeared in a dainty dress of white lace over pink silk and carried a basket of pink roses, caught up with dainty loops of pink baby ribbon.

After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride from 7:30 until midnight. The rooms were beautifully decorated with pink and white roses and palms. Garlands of blossoms festooned the doorways and huge clusters hung from the centre of each ceiling, while ferns and palms stood in massive jardinieres, their soft green coloring harmonizing perfectly with the more vivid color of the roses.

Hardy of Arlington catered, and the house was thronged with relatives and friends of the couple.

The bridal couple were assisted in receiving by Mrs. Margaret Cassidy and Mrs. James Murray, mother and sister of the bride, by Mr. and Mrs. Albert McDowell, parents of the groom and by the Misses Bertha, Alice Ruth and Rebecca McDowell, sisters of the groom, Mrs. Leroy Coburn and also by the bridesmaid and best man.

The young couple were the recipients of many beautiful and costly presents testifying to the regard in which they are held by their many friends. The bride is well known in this city where she has always lived. She has appeared several times in concerts and minstrel shows and as she possesses a remarkably sweet voice her singing has been widely appreciated, by all who have ever heard her.

Mr. and Mrs. McDowell leave today for an extended wedding trip which they will spend in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington. On their return they will make their home at 602 Highland Avenue, Malden, where they have purchased a residence.

The good wishes of a large circle of friends accompany Mr. and Mrs. McDowell on their wedding life.

KILDUFF - MURRAY

All white Madonna lilies against which were placed tall, golden vases of deep pink snapdragon, decorated the beautiful candlelighted altar of St. Clement's Church, Somerville, last Saturday morning for the ten o'clock nuptials of Miss Helen Agnes Murray, daughter of Mrs. Mary Murray of 47 Rogers Avenue, Somerville and Lawrence Richard Kilduff, the son of Mrs. Catherine T. Kilduff of 12 North Warren Street, Woburn.

A large number of Woburn residents journeyed to Somerville for the lovely holiday morning ceremony and later attended the subsequent wedding reception and breakfast at the Hotel Copley Plaza, Boston.

Miss H. McGlynn was the organist for the nuptials and Miss Alice Goodhue was the wedding soloist, rendering Schubert's "Ave Maria," "Panis Angelicus" by Caesar Franck, "O Lord, I Am Not Worthy," and "On This Day O Beautiful Mother," during the Nuptial Mass.

Four ushers assisted in the guest seating, Mr. Edward Boyle of Woburn and Messrs, John W., William H. and Joseph Murray, brothers of the bride, of Somerville. Upon the arrival of the bride shortly after the ten o'clock hour, they led the processional followed by Miss Mary Virginia Murray, a sister of the bride, of Somerville, as maid of honor, and the charming bride who was escorted by her brother Mr. James J. Murray of Somerville, followed to be met at the Sanctuary by the bridegroom and his best man, Mr. David Roche of Woburn.

Monsignor Robert Barry read the marriage service and was also celebrant at the Nuptial Mass which followed.

Miss Murray chose a portrait wedding gown in lustrous white satin, full skirted which cascaded into a long train and her simply draped veil of matching bridal illusion billowed over the train of her dress. Her round formal bouquet of bride's roses was centered with orchids.

Her sister as her only attendant carried an arm bouquet of talisman roses, as she rustled faintly [sic.] down the church aisle in a gown of dusty pink taffeta, made with a smooth, small bodice and full, draped skirt. Her hat and accessories were in the same becoming shade.

Mr. and Mrs. Kilduff will honeymoon in New York City and Washington, D.C., and upon their return they will live in Woburn.

The bride, a Boston secretary, is a graduate of the Chandler Normal School. Mr. Kilduff who was educated in Woburn schools, was graduated from Woburn High School with the class of 1931. He is employed by the Financial Transportation Company of Boston.
