WILLIAM R. CASE, farmer, Sec. 4; P. O. Hebron; born in Ontario Co., 
N. Y., Dec. 19, 1823; the early part of his life was spent in his native 
State; came to Jefferson Co. in 1844, and settled on the farm he now 
owns of ninety acres, which he bought of the Government, covered with 
heavy timber; he began the task of clearing it, built a log shanty, and, 
like most pioneers, saw many hardships; as a result, he has his well-
improved farm and good home.  He married Miss Ellen E. Sherman 
March 8, 1853; they have two children - Ida and Emma.  Mr. Case is a 
Republican; has been Chairman of the Town Board, Supervisor, and was 
the first Constable in Hebron.  He is improving his stock, and now has 
Durham grade cattle, besides horses, hogs and the usual crops.  He is a 
member of the Hebron Grange.
