He was a native of Florence and his early years ere spent in Verona--Long a Well known Resident of Rome -- Saw Service in Indian War --Public Spirited Citizen -- Much interest in local history.

Major Horace B. Case died at his home, 118 Turin street at 3 o�clock this morning. He had been in declining health for three months, but had not been confined in bed until Sunday, when he sustained a fall at his home, which prostrated him, pneumonia developing and causing his death.

Mr. Case was born in Florence, August 11, 1854, son of Marshall and Emma Sparrow Case. In 1859 he removed with his parents to Verona, where he received his early education.

In 1868 young Case was offered by Hon. Roscoe Conkling, then member of Congress from this district, a cadetship at West Point Military Academy, but, up0n the advice of his parents, declined, in order to accept a mercantile position. After three years, he engaged with his brother in the dry goods business at Oneida under the name of J. D. Case & Brother, continuing for several years, finally disposing of his interest in the firm to Thomas Downes, the firm changing to Case & Downes. He immediately accepted a position as general salesman in the large establishment of D. McCarthy Sons & Co., Syracuse, remaining with them for several years, when he accepted a position as clerk in the War Department and was detailed at department headquarters, Division of the Atlantic. The Indian trouble coming on , he at his own request, was transferred to the Indian Territory, reaching there in the midst of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe trouble. He was assigned to the 19th U. S. Regulars and afterwards went with that regiment to Utah, and participated in the memorable Ute Indian campaign under General R. S. Chamberlain in 1879. In this campaign it required two years of hard service to subdue the Indians, and this entire period was spent in the Rocky Mountains. Mr. Case served eight years, most of that period on the Indian and Mexican frontier, in the quarter-master, subsistence and adjutant general�s departments.

After a long and severe illness while stationed at Fort Ringgold, Texas, he returned east and once more entered the mercantile field and foe 19 years held a responsible position with the late James C. Smith of Rome, and after Mr. Smith retired continued with the new firm of Baker & Fox. For six year he held the position of president of the Civil Service Commission of Rome.

C. on the staff of Major General Underward, Chicago, Ill.

For a number of years he was a general agent for the New York Life Insurance Company and for eight years a member of the $100,000 Club of that company. He was also much interested in real estate and several beautiful residences in different portions of the city were built by him. He was public spirited in everything that tended to advance the interest of Rome. In politics, he was liberal, reserving the right to vote as he pleased, which was always for the best man for the place regardless of party. He was tendered responsible positions by both parties but he did not seek political honors.

Major Case had his hobby. For many years he took great interest in collecting curios from all parts of the world. His collection of everything that could burn was destroyed by fire in July 1906. He immediately started out again and accumulated one of the largest private collection in the state, including relics from Fort Stanwix, Fort Bull and every point down the historic Mohawk Valley from its earliest history.

Major Case took great interest in the schools of Rome and Verona. For a number of years he gave prizes for the best historical essay on local topics, written by pupils of the Thomas street school. In 1908, he endowed the Verona High School with the sum of $1,000, the interest to be used annually for the promotion of speaking contests.

In 1913, Major Case�s eyesight commenced to fail. Cataracts developing in both eyes. In 1914 he was in a hospital for several months, undergoing several serious operations. Owing to the bursting of a blood vessel, his sight was nearly destroyed, and while this experience left him in a serious nervous condition and on the verge of a nervous breakdown, he maintained a brave and cheerful exterior.

DEATH OF MRS. H. B. CASE Esteemed Resident of Rome Passed Away From Influenza

Mrs. Horace B. Case, a well known and highly respected resident of this city for many years, passed away this morning at her home 118 Turin Street. Her obituary , as written by her brother Ralph W. Vincent follows:

�Asleep in Jesus, Millis has joined the innumerable throng of the redeemed. The pilot had been waiting for her since a little before noon on Tuesday. The crossing was made quietly this forenoon. Services of love and respect will be held in her memory at 1:30 at her late home Friday, Feb 6. Temporally the body will be placed in a receiving vault in the Rome Cemetery. With the coming of more favorable weather conditions it will be laid at rest in Verona.

Rome, Feb 4, 1920 �Horace, Ralph�

In there unique and affectionate terms the few relatives remaining, but the many friends of Mrs. H. C. Case, 118 Turin street, are begin informed of the passing from the scenes of her earthly, activities, which knew no limit so long as life and strength permitted.

Mrs. Case was one more victim of the dread influenza, which has proven no respecter of person or years. She was stricken first about the middle of October and never fully rallied, although in the early winter, she was able to be or was about the house, Varied and insidious complications developed, which baffled the skill of the physicians and the care of the devoted nurses.

In the hope that heroic treatment would start the patent on the road to complete recovery, she was taken to the Rome Infirmary about ten days ago. It soon developed however that there was not sufficient vitality left on which to work. The brain became clouded at times and even then Mrs. Case begged to be taken home. The wish was compiled with, she having been brought back and put in her own bed last Sunday. She displayed vitality but little consciousness. The end came as in a deep sleep. She is now in that Home from which she will go no more out forever.

Mrs. Case was one of the most widely known and best loved women in Rome. For a little more that 32 years she and her husband, Major H. B. Case, have been residents of this city and devoted to its best interests. Embracing the Christian religions as a girl, the departed had always had as her motto �Saved to Serve.� Her�s was a life of devoted service, first to those of her own household and likewise to every one with who she came in contact. In fact, those who knew her best are confident that is through the many years of service she had spared her own strength to a greater extent, she might have had more on which to rally when the supreme and final rest came.

Born at the home of her parents, Palmer and Mary Vincent, near Little Falls, May 12, 1856, Mrs. Came with then to their new home on a farm about two mile east of Verona in the spring of 1868. There she grew into womanhood. Her early life was greatly saddened by the sudden taking of her loving and devoted father in January, 1875.

Mrs. Case was a student for some time in the Whitesboro Seminary, where her mother had attended many years before. Excelling in English literature and composition, she took first prize in a essay contest. Through the many years that followed the daughter loved to pay tribute to the pronounced intellectual gifts of the mother, by giving her credit for having offered suggestions and criticisms which she claimed really won the prize.

Ion her early years, Mrs. Case accepted Christ as her personal Savior and became affiliated with the First M. E. Church of Verona as one of the most active and devoted members. Her service included singing in the choir, the teaching of a class in Sunday school, the Women�s Missionary Society and the social work.

Late in November, 1887, she was married to Major Case, who was already a business man in this city, where they took up their residence which has been uninterrupted. The deceased not only transferred her religious and philanthropic activities to Rome, but ever increased them so long as strength permitted. She became identified with the First Methodist Church here at once. Deeply interested in all its work she gave special attention to her Sunday school class and the Ladies Aid Society. For many years she was president of the latter organization and also of the Women�s Christian Temperance Union. Until last year she was the corresponding secretary of the Vincent Association, a family reunion organization which includes the members of the Vincent family in this vicinity and the northern part of the state.

After all is said and done it was her own home that Mrs. Case rendered the greatest and most devoted service of love and affection. It is there that she will be most keenly missed, Besides her husband, Major H. B. Case, there are left of her immediate family her daughter, Mrs. Leon T. Hartman and an only brother, Ralph W. Vincent of East Orange N. J. and New York City.

The funeral services will be held at her late home, 118 Turin street, Friday at 1:30 p.m. and will be conducted by Rev. F. A. Miller, pastor of the First Methodist Church, one of Mrs. Case�s former Sunday school boys, and who during her last illness often paid loving tribute to her devoted service as a teacher. As already noted, temporary interment will be in a receiving vault in the Rome Cemetery, with permanent burial in Verona in the spring.

The Result of an Accidental Fall on Monday Night

Horace M. Case of Verona died at the home of his son, Horace B. Case, 110 Turin street at 1:30 a.m. today, aged 82 years. Mr. Case, who was on his way from his home in Verona to attend the annual reunion of the 146th Regiment, N. Y. Volunteers, held in Ilion on Tuesday, stopped off at Rome on Monday for a visit with his son. About 9 p.m. on Monday he was out walking and when about to re-enter the house became confused and went into the yard in the rear of the Fuller residence next door. At the rear of the lot is a steep embankment, over which he fell a distance of about seven feet. He evidently struck on his head. Two ribs were torn from the breast bone and his neck and sides of his body were badly discolored. Owing to his advanced aged he was unable to withstand the shock to his system.

Horace M. Case was born in Poland, Herkimer county, in April 1823. He lived there until he was bout 18 years old, when he removed to Florence, Oneida county. There, in December, 1848, he was married to Miss Emma Sparrow, who survived him. He also leaves three children, Mrs. W. S. Potter of Battle Creek, Mich., J. D. Case of Verona and Horace B. Case of Rome.

In 1862 Mr. Case enlisted in the 146th Regiment, N.Y. Volunteers, and served until the close of the war. He also received several promotions and was in charge of the ambulance department when discharged.

In politics Mr. Case was a democrat, but was very liberal regarding local affairs, always supporting whom he thought was the fittest man. He was of very modest and retiring disposition. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Verona. (Note Burial in Verona Cemetery)

Castle, Thomas

Rome Sentinel
August 10, 1904

Point Rock - Our community was greatly shocked by hearing of the sudden death of Thomas Castle, formerly an old and respected citizen of this place, but for the past six years a resident of Lee. Mr. Castle was apparently in the best of health, partook of a hearty supper and expired soon after, while the memers of the family were gone for a brief time to a garden a short distance from the house. Mr. Castle was born in Canterbury, England in 1822. In his early manhood he came to America with his parents, locating in Utica for a time. In 1850 he was married to Miss Susan O�Donnell and the family soon removed to this place and settled upon the farm where the active, useful lives of this worthy couple were spent until the breaking up of the happy home by the death of Mrs. Castle in 1898, from which time he had made his home with his youngest daughter, Mrs. J. B. Wallace of Stokes, and been tenderly cared for. Mrs. Castle was the father of ten children, eight of whom survive: Mrs. Mary Conners and Ambrose Castle of Rome, Thomas Castle of Bartlett, Mrs. Alice Wallace, Mrs. Sarah Hurlbut, Charles and James Castle of Stokes and John F. Castle of Lee Center. Mr. Castle was a good neighbor and a kind father and was everywhere recognized as an upright, conscientious man who had the respect and confidence of all. He never obtruded, but wherever he went always found a warm welcome. The children have the sincere sympathy of this community and the consolation that he was universally esteemed where more than forty years of his life was spent.

A Former Well-Known Roman Passes Away in Westmoreland

This morning Israel J. Cook of Bartlett, formerly of Rome, sudden passed away in the 42d year of his age. He had been ill with the measles for nearly a week, but was not considered dangerous until a few hours previous to his death. On Sunday afternoon pneumonia set in and the patient failed rapidly until his death.

The deceased was born in the town of Vernon and came to Rome nearly 20 years ago. He was a carpenter by trade and during his residence in Rome built a large number of handsome residences. He invested in real estate on both sides of East Bloomfield street and built a number of residences there. He built up almost the entire north side of the street between James street and the Black River Canal. He also erected dwellings in other parts of the city. He was one of the first builders in Rome to break away from the old style of architecture and adopt new and modern designs. His work was artistic and tasty and the dwellings that he put up are pleasing to the eye. In Mr. Cook were concentrated great energy and industry and he seldom saw an idle hour. Last year he went to Bartlett to engage in farming. During the past winter he was worked more or less at this trade and when taken sick was engaged on a building in Vernon. Many friends in Rome and other parts of the county will be surprised and pained to learn of his death.

Mr. Cook was married to Miss E. Wilson, the oldest daughter of L. K. Wilson of Verona. Mrs. Cook and two little sons survive the husband and father. The deceased also leaves his parents, Mr. And Mrs. Stephen Cook of Vernon, three brothers, George and Charles of Westmoreland and S. Asa Cook of Vernon and one sister, Mrs. M. F. Smith of Westmoreland.

The deceased was very friendly and genial in his manner and made friends easily. All who knew him will extend sympathy to the bereaved relatives. (Note burial in Verona Cemetery)

Well Known Verona Resident Victim of Heart Disease

Attack Came While With His Son on the Porch of His Store - For Many Years in Business in Verona - Was Serving Second Tern as Postmaster

Verona, Aug 6 -- Postmaster Charles E. Crandall, one of the oldest and best known residents of the village, was stricken with heart disease about 2:10 this afternoon, while sitting on the porch of his store, on the Main Street, and death resulted about fifteen minutes later.

He had not been feeling well of late and his health had been somewhat feeble for the past year or two.

Just previous to leaving the interior of the store he had been putting up a mail for the 2:35 train. With him on the porch was his son, George, of Glen Falls, who is visiting here. As soon as the son saw that his father�s attack was serious, he had Drs. Jackson and George summoned- but they could do nothing and death soon ensued.

Charles E. Crandall was born in Vernon Center, Dec 1, 1833. He was educated in the district schools and remained on the farm until he was 16 years of age. Then he learned the currier�s trade which he followed until 1859, when he became a manufacturer of boots and shoes. He continued in this business six years, then added the grocery business and in 1872 began conducting a general store, which he followed until about five years ago, when his store burned down. Since then he had been conducting a small store, in connection with the post office, in a small building west of the site of his former place of business. For some time his son, Willard L. was in partnership with him, under the firm name of C. E. Crandall & Son. At the time of his death he was serving his second term as postmaster.

On Oct 5, 1853, Mr. Crandall married Maria T., daughter of George C. Cadwell of Verona, by whom he had three sons; George C. of Glen Falls, Willard L. of Verona and Charles F. of Herkimer. Mrs. Crandall died June 13, 1896. For his second wife, Mr. Crandall married Caroline Barrett, who survives.

Mr. Crandall had been a member of the first Presbyterian Church since 1866. He was a genial nature and had many friends, not alone in Verona, but throughout the county. His death comes as a severe shock to the community in which he has so long been a familiar figure and will cast a shadow over the centennial celebration of the church with which he was so directly associated for nearly forty years. Much sympathy is expressed for his surviving relatives. (Note Burial in Verona Cemetery)
