      1997. RAYMOND ERVING¹⁰ CASE (CHARLES BINGLEY⁹, EUNICE⁸ HIGLEY, RUTH⁷ KENDALL, NOADIAH C.⁶, MEHITABLE⁵ HOLCOMB, MEHITABLE (MABELL)⁴ BUTTOLPH, DAVID³, JOHN², THOMAS¹) was born September 13, 1886 in West Granby, Hartford County, CT, and died September 26, 1963 in West Granby, Hartford County, CT. He married EMMA GRISWOLD GRIFFIN November 15, 1910, daughter of GILBERT GRIFFIN and MARGARET FLEMING. She was born December 30, 1888 in Granby, Hartford County, CT, and died December 26, 1961 in West Granby, Hartford County, CT.

Notes for RAYMOND ERVING CASE:
Raymond's daughters, Margaret Dora (Case) Holcomb and Gertrude Emma (Case) Slaughter have passed down many stories of their father, my grandfather.

Raymond Erving Case was born in his parent's home at 145 Simsbury Road in West Granby, Hartford County, Connecticut. This was a dairy farm, which also raised chickens, on 150 acresof land located just south east of Broad Hill on the western branch of Salmon Brook. He and his only sibling, Louise Eunice Case (b. Abt 1888), were raised on this farm. Louise, who was about two years younger than Ray, died at the young age of 16, in 1904, six years prior to Ray's marriage to Emma Griswold Griffin in 1910. (Oddly, both of Ray's children refer to Louise as "Auntie Lou", even though she had died years before either of them were born.)

Raymond continued the family farm, was involved in town politics and was a Deacon of the West Granby Methodist Church (for which he was sometimes called "Deac"). He was a kind man, and noted for his fairness and compassion in both family and business matters.

Raymond and Emma (Griffin) Case lived in the "two family" farmhouse of Ray's parents, and it is was in this home that they too, would raised their family. After seven years of marriage, Margaret Dora was born in 1917 at Hartford Hospital, Hartford, Hartford County, CT.

Margaret was born by ceserian section, which (I feel) is quite remarkable for this era. Both Mother and daughter spent an entire month at the hospital, massing a bill of three hundred dollars (a sizable sum, back then).

Raymond and Emma's second daughter, Gertrude Emma, related that when her mother discovered that she was pregnant a second time (three years after the birth of Margaret), she feared that she would not survive this second pregnancy. (Margaret thinks that this is very sad.) It was of this fear, that Emma demanded that a family portrait of her husband, her daughter and herself be taken.

Emma not only survived the birth of Gertrude, in August of 1921, but lived to see both her daughters marry, and to know each of her grandchilden. After 51 years of marriage, Emma died in December of 1961.

Continuing his father's dairy farm, during the 1930's and 1940's, Ray also cultivated, grew and cured Havana tobacco. Margaret descibes the tedious process of cutting the tobacco stalks, pushing these stalks down over a long pointed "lathe", and hanging these heavy lathes in the barns dry and cure. Then, pushing the cured stalks off the lathes, bundling them into huge bales and loading them onto the wagon to be transported and sold.

Though I was just seven years of age when my grandfather died, I too have fond memories of Raymond E. Case and of playing on the farm. Grandpa never would miss "milking time," even with the use of modern milking machinery and complete trust of his very able hired-hand, Earl Tattlock. I can still hear my grandfather call the cows to the barn, "Ca-Boss-ee!, Ca-Boss-ee!" (the accent on "boss"). Then, Grandpa would pace up and down the center aisle of the barn, taking time to talk to each of his 41 head of cow, calling them each by their name--names like Bessie, and Buttercup, and Lizzie.

I remember that my sister and I thought it was rather odd (one September evening in 1963) to see Grandpa just sitting in the milkroom while Earl was tending to the milking. A few hours later, Dr. Stretch came to our house (in Simsbury), to inform our mother that after walking up the hill from the barn to the farmhouse, her father had died of a heart attack in the doorway of his home... the same home in-which he had been born.

As my grandfather had wished, Earl took over the dairy farm business, renting the barn and pastures until he retired in the early 1970's. As far as I know, Earl and his wife, Alva, still live in the house they had built, just south of the old farm, on the five acres of land which my grandfather had given to him many years before his death.

The two-family farmhouse was also rented until 1978 when it was sold out of the family. Since that time, though the farmhouse remains as one of the beautiful homes which adorn West Granby's picturesque landscape, the barns have deteriorated. Still, one can help but to realize the prosperity of it's day... a day of many generations.

(Note: Interrestingly the 1920 Granby census lists occupation: General Farmer; no mention of tobacco.)
