TIMELINE

       

Leigh Larson visited Spring Green Cemetery, Spring Green Twp., Furnas Co., NE, on September 15, 2011. This is the county just north of Norton Co., KS. Hannah Keith gave the ground for the cemetery on February 27, 1894. It is located in the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 20-1-23. The day of the visit was rainy and the temperature was in the low 40s. The cemetery is located on an unpaved township road, and the cemetery is basically a grassland of about 18 inches in height, which is probably seldom maintained. It was necessary to tromp down the grass in order to photograph the flat markers. The graves are scattered within the fenced-in perimeter, and a sign on the entrance gate indicates that the gate was erected in 2003 by a group of people honoring the pioneering citizens buried within. "Dedicated to the pioneer families of Furnas County, Nebraska & Norton County, Kansas by decedents & friends 2003." The Krause graves are located in the southeast portion of the cemetery, with the large Krause granite headstone containing "AT REST" and "KRAUSE" facing toward the west, the only side of the stone that is polished. Three separate granite markers are located flat on the ground, centered on the Krause headstone, as shown in the layout above. Please note that the NELLIE stone contains an overstrike on the last number for the birth year, probably due to an attempt to correct an engraving mistake. It seems most likely that the engraving company incorrectly created the date as 1899, and later tried to cover up the mistake by engraving the date 1896. As the newspaper article about her death indicates, she was born in 1896. However, the birth date, obviously based upon the grave marker, has been incorrectly interpreted to be 1898.

There are several graves very near the Krause plot, including Rachel Starry McCrea, William Oscar McCrea and Ranselaer McCrea, and ten Wyatt family members, including Eliphalet Alexander Wyatt and wife, Mary Ann (Starry) Wyatt.

Job Russell Case was the third son of a family of ten children and was born in Washington country, New York, July 1, 1822.  Mr. Case's parents were New Englanders of Scotch descent.  His father, Wm. Case, served with honor in the war of 1812; he was the son of Isaac Case who was an officer in the Revolution, and was noted for his great feats of strength and daring.

Job was a sturdy boy and showed early signs of more than ordinary physical strength and energy, qualities that have stood him well in hand in the path that fate seemed to have marked out for him to follow.  Removing at an early age to Cattaraugus county, New York, then almost an unbroken wilderness of rocky hills and giant forests, but where today hundreds of acres of pleasant meadows and fruitful orchards stand as monuments to this man's great energy and almost superhuman endurance, and many a Kansas urchin has been made glad at sight of the rosy cheeked apples shipped from some of those same orchards.

Mr. Case was married at the age of 22 to Miss Debbie Milks of Napoli, New York.  This proved to be a marriage of natural adaptation.  The wife bringing the industrious loom and spinning wheel of those days which played an accompaniment to the music of the ax and flail of the thrifty farmer.  There were born of this marriage nine children, five boys and four girls, which with the exception of one infant all lived to be men and women grown as follows: Mrs. A. V. Reed, now residing at Little Valley, New York; Theresa, wife of J. B. F. Chamblin, manufacturer of cutlery, Little Valley, W. R. Case of the firm of Case Bros. stock breeders of Spring Green, Nebraska; Jean Case of same place and business; Emma, wife of J. W Brown, merchant at Little Valley, New York; John D. Case of Case Bros., Spring Green; Andrew J. Case of same place and business; Jessie, wife of J. H. Barnard, farmer near Spring Green, Nebraska.

Mrs. Case died in 1868 and Mr. Case again married, this time to Miss Maria E. Dolbeir to whom was born one son and one daughter.  The son, Edwin, is in the dairy and fruit business in New York state; the daughter, Mabel is still with her parents.

In 1873 two of his oldest sons, Wm. and Jean, having settled in Furnas county, Nebraska.  Mr. Case determined to test the qualities of prairie soil and moved to Nebraska locating in October 1873 near his sons on the Sappa in Furnas county.

About this time Mr. Case met with a severe financial loss through the failure of the banking firm of S. S. Marsh in Little Valley, New York, sweeping away much of the hard accumulation of years.  Although the strength of his youth had begun to wane, and crippled financially the old fire and ambition still remained; proving up on his first settlement in 1874 he homesteaded the same year, land in Norton county one mile northwest of Norton.  He remained on this land until 1880. He then moved to Norton. Mrs. Case opened a millinery store. Mr. Case was engaged in numerous enterprises on a small scale.  He became a shareholder in the Norton town company and was at one time President of the association.  He has a well disciplined mind and would speak on public questions with great force and originality in our debating societies.  His outward appearance was cold and austere; but close acquaintance showed him to be companionable and communicative, although he never smiled.  The expression of his face spoke volumes.  He owned the Wm Maudlin farm, six miles east of Norton, and lived out there for a short time.  Beginning to feel the weight of years and longing for old familiar scenes of his native state, in 1884 he returned to his old home in Little Valley.

Having in his day perhaps subdued as many acres and planted as many orchards as any man now living, giving employment to hundreds, he has undoubtedly earned a quiet and peaceful old age.  He now lives in retirement at Little Valley, New York.

Politically Mr. Case has of late years been a prohibitionist.  Always a temperate man it is his boast that he never has tasted whisky or tobacco, and takes a just pride in his vigor which he attributes to his temperate habits, neither has he a son or grandson who uses either of them although he represents twenty-one male descendents.  In religions matters Mr. Case might be termed a "Free Thinker."  In reply to a question asking him regarding his belief in the future state, the following lines apply admirably.
When we do a good deed it is done to stay:
And though evil we do in another day
It taketh not that good away,
Nor can we to a saviour pray,
And wash our evil deeds away.
But each by their own full record must stand.
When the books are balanced
In the other land.

Northwestern Pennsylvania - The History

J. RUSSELL CASE - Known throughout the United States for his accomplishment as a cutlery manufacturer, J. Russell Case continues, in-Bradford, the firm of W. R. Case & Son, founded and for years headed by his father. This organization occupies a prominent place in Bradford industrial life and in the cutlery business of the Nation.

Mr. Case was born October 27, 1878, in Nebraska, son of William R. and Mary (Fox) Case, both of whom are now deceased. The father, William R. Case, went west with his brother, Jean Case, when he reached the age of twenty-one years, and the two brothers together operated a mail and freight route for the Federal Government in Kansas and Nebraska. In 1878 Mrs. Mary (Fox) Case, whom he had married at the age of twenty and taken west with him, died, whereupon, in 1879, William R. Case returned to the East and entered the cutlery business in Little Valley, New York. The present firm, or its predecessor, was established there in 1895, and there William R. Case continued it until 1905. Then he decided to come to Bradford, where he put up a thoroughly modern plant and initiated the present firm of W. R. Case & Son. They manufacture “Case Tested Double XX” cutlery, popular throughout the United States. W. R. Case remained president of the organization until his death in 1931, where­upon he was succeeded by his son, J. Russell Case, who has continued the work down to the present. William R. Case was also the main sponsor of the Case Land Company, and was instrumental in transforming the swamps in Foster Brook into a fine residential district. He was the first man in the United States to travel and sell cutlery from samples, according to records of the industry.

Common schools of Little Valley, New York, where the family formerly lived, provided J. Russell Case’s early formal education. He “grew up” in the cutlery business from a very early age, and has remained in it since that time. The enterprise was established, as already indicated, back in 1890, and since its removal to Bradford he has been prominent in its management. Through the years of the firm’s history the number of employees has grown from forty people to about 350. At the time of the father’s death, in 1931, there were about two hundred. Originally, in Bradford, the business was situated in a small establishment in Bank Street, very different from the fine up-to-date plant now operating in Russell Boulevard.

Quite aside from his work with this company, J. Russell Case operates a fine farm, raising roughage to feed a herd of about sixty head of milk cows. Politically he follows an independent course, casting his support in favor of candidates and measures of his choice rather than on any partisanship basis. He belongs to the Bradford Club and the Bradford Board of Commerce, and in the Free and Accepted Masons is affiliated with Little Valley Lodge, Buffalo Consistory, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, and Zem Zem Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (in Erie).

J. Russell Case married (first) Effie L. Crouse, and (second) Florence Lichty.

 

The Central Overland Pony Express of 1860-61 was not the first nor the last venture to transport and deliver mail by horseback. While most attention has always been focused on the Transcontinental Pony Express route to California, there were many comparable services scattered throughout the west. Often these services lasted but a short time.

The purpose of this page is to provide a forum to list other riders and other routes and to provide a means of recognizing those gallant riders who provided the communication links that helped to bind our country together.

Job Case was the third son in a family of 10 children and was born in Washington County, New York July 1, 1822. Mr. Case's parents were New Englanders of English and Scotch descent.

An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not numbered in the original manifest.

"Mas" and "Fem" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.
