Oliver Cromwell CASSIS
Dr Oliver C Cassis was a son of John Cassis, 
a Black business man who was prominent in Kingston from
the 1880s until his death in 1929. I have found no photo of
Dr Cassis, but did find one of his father.
After Dr Cassis graduated from Howard University he returned
to his country and practised his profession quietly in
Christiana, only appearing briefly in press accounts of local
events, so there is little to include here about his life.
