S. C. Case, a leading farmer of Platte Township, Andrew County, MO.,
was born in Licking County, OH., November 3, 1838.  He is the fourth
of six children born to Raphael and Rosetta (Hayes) Case.  The father
was born in New England in 1802, and was a farmer by vocation.  He
immigrated to Ohio, where he married.  He died in 1860.  The mother
was born in New York in 1809, and died in 1858.  Our subject was
reared on the farm, and received a common-school education in the
Licking County schools.  On December 10, 1861, he was joined in 
marriage with Susa Saunders, daughter of Dr. James Saunders.  Three
sons and one daughter have blessed their marriage.  Mr. Case has
followed farming as a vocation, and although commencing with very
limited capital has become a prosperous farmer.  He owns and cultivates
a good farm of 250 acres in Platte Township.  He is a friend to schools,
churches and public improvements, and in politics is a Republican.
