Thomas Marion Casey. The subject of this sketch is a native of Henry County, 
having been born in Shawnee Township, April 25, 1858. He was reared upon a 
farm and took a liking to the business, but was anxious to have a thorough 
education. In this he was supported by his parents. Having received the rudiments 
of an English education, and otherwise fitted himself in an advancement for a 
thorough-collegiate course, he entered the Cumberland University, of Lebanon, 
Tennessee, in the opening fall term, 1877, in the nineteenth year of his age. He 
made rapid progress and graduated with high honors from the literary department 
in 1881. He returned home for the summer vacation, and in the fall again returned 
to Lebenon and entered the law department, which has become famous for its 
thorough course of studies, and the number of legal lights that claim it as their 
Alma Mater. In June, 1883, he graduated from the law department, received his 
diploma, and was admitted to the bar. Armed with the proof of his talents and 
hard study, he again returned home, and soon after entered the law office of the 
Hon. Banton G. Boone, where for nearly a year he has steadily pursued his legal 
studies, and will undoubtedly become a member of the bar of Henry County.
