Biographical/Historical Note:
Ivy Graham Hill was born in Abbeville, Lafayette County, Mississippi. She taught

Memphis, Tennessee ca. 1895. Early settlers of Cleveland, Mississippi, they moved

Two children were born to Edward Hill, Myrtle “Mimi” and William Kenan. Mimi
was born in 1900 and died in 1982. She attended Belhaven College in Jackson,
Mississippi, and married Napoleon LePoint Cassibry (Nap). Cassibry was a
graduate of the University of Mississippi Law School and had commanded Co. G,

World War I. He trained at Camp Beauregard in Louisiana and reached captain.
He came to Cleveland in 1917, and after the war went to work at the Cleveland
State Bank, of which he eventually became president.
Mimi and Nap Cassibry had three children, LePoint, Graham, and Napoleon.

artillery. He died in 1964. LePoint married Warwick Vosper Smith in 1944.
Napoleon married Martha June Carley.
