MYRON V. CASE.

Myron V. Case, who since his childhood has been a resident of Wyandot county, is now a partner in the grocery firm of Case & McLain. South Dakota numbers him among her native sons, for he was born at Redfield, that state, December 29, 1884, a son of Francis O. and Lydia (Foucht) Case. The father was born in Trumbull county, Ohio, in 1847, and spent his entire active life engaged in farming, following that occupation in Ohio, Iowa, South Dakota and Nebraska and dying in the latter state in 1909. The mother was born in Perry county, Ohio, in 1850 and passed away in 1887. In their family were three children, Pliny W., Carl C. and Myron V.

After the death of his mother, which occurred when he was only two years of age, Myron V. Case became a member of the household of his aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. Sol Kotterdb, Google man, of Pitt township, with whom he grew to manhood. He acquired his early education in the district schools and when he was seventeen years of age entered the summer school in Upper Sandusky, which he attended for two terms. This was followed by a six months' course at the Ada Business College, after which he began teaching, an occupation which he followed in the district and village schools of Wyandot county for about ten years. At the end of that time he turned his attention to commercial pursuits, forming in 1912 a partnership with E. F. McLain and organized the present grocery firm of Case & Mcljain. In the intervening year they have built up an enviable business and are today ranked among the leading grocers of the town. Their trade is extensive and they water to the best patronage, carrying a large and well selected line of staple and fancy groceries. Mr. Case is in addition a stockholder 'in the Buckeye Foundry & Machine Company.

On September 22, 1910, in Antrim township, Mr, Case was limited in marriage to Miss Iva Ritterspach, a daughter of Simon and Eliza Bitterspach, the former a well known farmer of Antrim township. Mr. and Mrs. Case are the parents of a son, Robert Donald. Mr. Case belongs to the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and the Improved Order of Red Men and while he was engaged in teaching was president of the Wyandot County Teachers* Institute and secretary of the Ohio Teachers* Reading Circle. He gives his allegiance to the democratic party, and is a devout member of the Reformed church. He is a man of exemplary habits, strict integrity and strong personality and is well known in the county, holding the high esteem of all who have business and social relations with him.
