WALLACE CASE DIES AT ROCK HILL HOME

Wallace Case, 73, a resident of Rock Hill, died Monday at his home at that place. It is said that a recent fall from a road scraper, which he was operating, caused injuries which hastened his death. He was a road foreman and with several workmen was engaged in improving the Katrina Falls road when he fell from the scraper.

He was the son of the late Henry Case and Debora Griffin Case and had lived in the Rock Hill section practically all his life, engaged in farming and operating a saw mill which was located on his farm. His friends and acquaintances say of him that he was one of the finest men in the section of the county.

Surviving are two sons, William, of Rock Hill, and Andrew, of Jacksonville, Fla.; one daughter, Flora, at home. His wife, who was Miss Mary Emma Hopkins, died several years ago. Several brothers and one sister also survive, Charley, Sanford, Vergal [Virgil], Blake and Horton, and two sisters, Kate, a teacher in the Hawaiian Islands, and Blanche, wife of George Jones, of Brooklyn.

The funeral will be held this afternoon at the M. E. Church at Rock Hill, at 2 o'clock.
