Steuben-Republican 4 August 1915 P. 1
        
        Marietta McNett Case, daughter of Jacob and Mary McNett, was 
born April 22, 1854, at Lake Gage, Steuben County, Indiana and died at 
their home July 29, 1915, age 61 years 2 months and 6 days.  On November 
28, 1869, she was united in marriage to Denman Case at Gilead, Michigan.  
To this union four children were born- Mrs. Bert Collins deceased; 
Arlie, deceased; Mrs.Clayton Shank of Kendallville and Grover, who still 
remains at home.  Death first came in this home and took little Arlie, a 
beautiful child of 12 years of age, about 28 years ago; and again about 
11 years ago death claimed the eldest daughter Ada, mother of Mildred 
and Birdena Collins. Mrs Case came from a family of seven children of 
whom three have preceded her to the great beyond.  Those remaining of 
her fathers family are J. C. McNett, of Angola, John McNett and Mrs. 
Wheeler Purdy of Nevada Mills.  She had been in poor health for several 
years and bore her sufferings with patience until the last and she then 
quietly fell asleep trusting in her heavenly Father.  She leaves her 
husband and two children, three grandchildren and a host of other 
relatives and friends to mourn their loss.  Funeral services and burial 
were at Lake Gage, conducted by Rev. B.F.
Hornaday.
