• Notes

  According to Maxine Dexter Schauer, Lura was born in Wayne Co., where the family moved from Sullivan Co., NY. She reports that according to a journal kept by another brother, VirGrand Isle Co.l, "she was well out of it as her husband was a notoriously mean man. From the same journal is was said their son Elam as he was always called (this was also another brother's name) appears to have been a harmless, roving type who never married." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ From the Glen Cove Cemetery Listing: Lura wife of Warren L Case d Feb 21, 1848 AE 23y 7m "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were disolvent we have a building of God. A house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------- Maxine Dexter Schauer electronic mailing 2/29/2000 to Gail Ferris: Hi Gail, Lura and Warren Case had one child named Elam. The following is from a letter I received from Judith Rush in August 1977. "According to ancient family gossip, she (Lura) was well out of it: her husband was a notoriously mean man. He married twice afterward and fathered a huge flock of children by each wife. Wife No. 3 took no nonsense from him and apparently cowed him at last. The only child from his marriage to Lura was Chauncey Elam Case, never married, reared by Aaron and Mary Thomas Dexter. He was always called Elam and appears to have been a harmless, roving type. He died in 1920, alone, working as a hired man at a farm in Michigan. It all sounds a bit sad." End of quote.
