From WWW.Genforum.com Case Forum #2303 posted by Gerald Case on 4/15/2001.
My father was the first in our Case line who migrated out of Connecticut. I'm currently living in Los Angeles, Calif.
My great-grandfather, Dr. Erastus Ely Case, was also an interesting gentleman. He married a Holcomb woman who was his first cousin. The following are excerpts from my great-grandfather's obituary in the "The Homeopathic Recorder" dated December 25, 1918:
"President Conn. Hom. Med. Society, 1889-'90. President International Hahnemannian Association, 1901-'02; after serving five years as its Secretary. Member American Institute of Homeopathy. Congregational Club of Hartford. Knights Templar, Washington Commandery, No. 1, of Hartford. Republican."
(In 1915 he published a book containing his clinical experiences. I have his personal copy of the book and one of his traveling kits containing bottles of homeopathic medicines.)
"Dr. Case had a 'Hobby.' Like other men who devote themselves intensively to a special line of professional work, he felt the necessity of change and relaxation for the mind. He found this diversion in genealogy. For nearly twenty years he occupied his leisure hours in compiling a Genealogy of the Case Family. This involved a very extensive correspondence. The writer is under the impression that Dr. Case told him he had written about 18,000 letters during the period occupied in the compilation. He spoke with enthusiasm of the pleasure he had derived from this work, which was at that time (1917) nearly completed and ready for publication. A desk in one corner of his office was set apart for his Genealogy. To friends who were interested he took a modest pride in showing the methods and results of his work."
(A copy of his typed notes, occupying more than 20 typewriter-paper boxes, is located in the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford.)
'He enjoyed Nature in every manifestation and loved his country home, finding rest and recreation in the cultivation of his garden, the care of bees, and the culture of fruit-grapes especially--and was very successful in all of these pursuits.
"He was a very good violinist some years ago, but was unable to play in later years.'"
(He was a man of many talents, an accomplishment that is difficult to achieve in our age of specialization.)
- (Medical):"An automobile accident in 1916, from which he barely escaped with life, injured his heart and reduced his vitality, leaving him defenseless when attacked by the prevailing disease." [5]
