CASE: In Nelson [Madison Co. NY] Tuesday, Feb 11, David Case aged 94 years less 13 days.
The subject of the above notice was born Feb. 21, 1779, at the Meadow Plane, town of Simsbury, Hartford County, in the State of Connecticut. He was the youngest son of a family of five children, named respectively Joseph, Sarah, Polly, Chauncy and David, all of whom came to this state and with one exception to this county [Madison Co., NY] many years ago, and are now all numbered with the dead. The average age of these five sons and daughters was over 87 years. David came to this town in the fall of 1802 and worked for a time by the month for his brother Joseph and Simeon Marshall. During the next spring he returned to Connecticut, worked the farm long owned by his father and in due time sold the same and was married Dec. 25,1803, to Laura Nearing, with whom he lived 51 years and until her death separated them December 5, 1854.
On the 14th day of Feb. 1804, he again left his native state for this locality in company with the late James Smith, who was long a resident of the neighborhood in which Mr. Case resided, and bought lot No. 57 on which he spent the remainder of his useful life and for a time in an humble habitation peculiar to all new settlements, where his oldest daughter (M.D. Lyon's mother) was born. His children consisted of two daughters and one son, the latter dying when an infant. Mrs. Lyon died a few years since. Mrs. Whitney, the youngest to the daughters is now living (temporarily) in one of the southern States. Mr. Case was a kind and obliging neighbor, an affectionate husband and father.
With industry and economy, he had acquired an undisputed title to many acres, all of which he deeded before he died to Mrs. Whitney, M.D. Lyon and their children. As a citizen he was highly esteemed by all who knew him and being possessed of a pacine [pacifist] disposition, he never engaged in any strife or contention, and during his long life was never a plaintiff or defendant in a lawsuit. Politically he was a Democrat and from the day he first voted for Thomas Jefferson for President till the day of his death, by words and acts, maintained as far as possible the principles enunciated and carried out in the administration of that distinguished statesman and his Democratic predecessors. At all times and under all circumstances he avoided official honors and yet marks of public confidence in that direction were sometimes given him regardless of party lines or his own wishes. Mr. Case never made a public profession of religion and yet he lived in such a way that Elder York said on the day of his burial "If Mr. Case had not been a good man and pleased God, it is reasonable to believe he would have been cut off at an earlier age." The cause of his death was more the infirmities of age than real disease.
