Arizona Republican-Oct. 23, 1902
Dan Casey
October 23, 1902
Arizona Republican Newspaper

During the last two years Dan Casey has been an intimate 
of St. Mary's hospital, the victim of paralysis.  Sunday 
night he passed peacefully to rest at the age of 75 years, 
says the Tucson Star.  His brother, John Casey, being 
wired of his death came over from Dos Cabezas, arriving 
last evening by the west bound train.

Dan Casey, the deceased was a man of large experience.  
He was one of Arizona's best citizens. He with his brother 
came over from Ireland when they were young men.  When 
the war broke out, Dan was appointed suter in the Irish 
Brigade though the influence of Horace Greeley and went 
all through the war.  After the war he embarked in the 
merchandise business.  In 1880 with his brother John, 
he came to Arizona and commenced prospecting at Dos 
Cabezas, where they located some rich gold mines, 
they have been developing and holding for many years.  
The brothers have done much to develop that distract 
staying by it when many others became discouraged and 
left, some , however, to return and make their stake.  
Seven years ago the deceased was stricken with 
paralysis and two years ago he suffered another 
stroke which necessitated his brother bringing 
him to the hospital for medical aid.  Under the 
care of the sisters of the hospital, he received 
all the comfort money could provide, but he has 
passed away, leaving a good name for honesty, 
integrity and sterling character.

His remains will be prepared for burial at the undertaking 
parlors of Mr. Reilly from where the funeral will proceed 
to the Catholic church.  The many friends of John Casey, 
the bereaved brother will sympathize with him in his loss.  
May the old pioneer rest in peace.
