CASE, ERMINE, Jr., who was long a member of the bar of Kansas City, died on
March 10, 1886. He had long been recognized as one of the most honorable,
enterprising citizens of Kansas City, and his death was deeply deplored. He was
born at Columbus, Ohio, November 2, 1841; was partially educated at Columbus,
entered Marietta College September, 1859, where he was graduated in 1863. Mr.
Case then went to Kansas City and entered the office of his brother, Theodore S.
Case, who was then chief quartermaster of the District of the Border. He
returned to Columbus in1864, where he studied law in the office of Hon. Chauncey
N. Olds, and was admitted to the bar in 1865. Even at that stage of his career
Mr. Case was a firm believer in the future of the western city with whose
interests he was so closely identified at the end of his life, and he
accordingly settled there for the practice of law, entering into partnership
with P.S. Brown, esq., who is still a prominent member of the bar in Kansas
City. This partnership continued for many years, and through their joint and
well-directed efforts they were very successful.

His health becomng somewhat impaired by his close application to his profession,
Mr. Case entered the real estate business and became largely interested in the
erection of business buildings and residences, and at the time of his death he
was the owner of a large amount of improved as well as unimproved real estate.
During the last ten years of his life he was largely identified with various
charitable and public interests.

The funds for the building of the Young Men's Christian Association in his city
were secured largely by a personal canvass among the business men of his
acquaintance. He was also an active promoter of the Law and Order League,
especially in its efforts in securing the observance of temperance laws.

In religious matters Mr. Case was a faithful worker, being at the time of his
death a trustee and treasurer of the second Presbyterian Church, and president
of the Young Men's Christian Association."
Son of Ermine and Mary Ann (Cowles) Case who married in 1830. They were both from Connecticut. Mary Ann Cowles died in 1847. Any children born between 1830 and 1847 are Ermine's with his first wife (Cowles).
