With deep regret and sadness of heart we record the sudden death on Friday afternoon of last week of Mrs. Marion Casey, wife of Prof. Francis J. Casey, principal of the Bainbridge Central School [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY] for the past twelve years. Mrs. Casey, apparently in her usual health, had called at the home of Mrs. Edward Danforth to express to her a personal sympathy over the very grave illness of Mrs. Danforth's mother, when she was herself stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage, dying at the Danforth home about two hours later.  Mrs. Casey was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Frank L. Winsor, of Laurens, N.Y. [Otsego Co.], whom Dr. Danforth summoned as soon as the seriousness of her attack became apparent and who were able to arrive with other members of the family a half hour or more before the fatal termination of her seizure.  She was born at Laurens, Otsego county, N.Y., February 28, 1894.  Following her school life in that village she attended and was graduated from the Oneonta High School.  Some time later was devoted to the study of music at Syracuse University, where she especially applied herself to the piano.  On December 28, 1916, she married Francis J. Casey, then principal of the Laurens High School.  One son, Winsor, was born to them, now fifteen years of age, who with his father survive her.  Besides her husband and son, deceased is survived by her parents, Dr. and Mrs. Winsor, and one brother, Coville Winsor, of Laurens, also a sister, Mrs. Damon Getman, of Oneonta.  Mrs. Casey was a recent member of the local chapter D.A.R., and a very active member of the Bainbridge Woman's Club, holding the office of secretary; she was also chairman of the Relief Committee, in which activity she was greatly interested.  She was a pianist of unusual ability and ever ready to donate her services at church and social gatherings.  Mrs. Casey was a woman of such rare personal charm, of such unusual grace of manner, of such unfailing vivacity in personal intercourse and of such kindliness of temperament that she had won the affectionate regard of the entire village, while her conquering friendliness, her personal liveliness, her warmth of genuine and sensitive sympathies had attracted a host of close personal friendships.  The news of her sudden, almost tragic death filled every heart with saddened wonder at the mysterious and unintelligible behavior of an inscrutiable providence.  In grateful memory for the many hours she had brightened and while the dew and the divinity of love seemed to rest upon every bud and blade of the perfect wilderness of flowers that covered casket and chancel, the people of Bainbridge and her many friends from elsewhere crowded the Presbyterian Church last Monday moning to bid farewell to the kind and lovely and generous spirit whose life had been so  untimely ended.  The impressive services were conducted by the Rev. G.H. Orvis.  From here, the remains, accompanied by the family and many others to whom she had endeared herself, were taken to her girlhood home at Laurens, N.Y., where interment was in the family plot.  [MHD notation:  d. April 28, 1933]
