Obituary:
On March 4, 1929, in the fullness of years and at the end of an active, useful and noble life, Mrs. Bridget Casey, worn out with old age, passed to the Life Beyond the grave.
She was taken ill on February 3, with the flu. Despite all care and effort on the part of her ever-devoted son, this finally carried her off.
Mrs. Bridget Casey (nee Miss Bridget Sharkey) was born in Ireland in 1832, and at the time of her death was 96 years 3 months and 4 days old.
With some friends she came to New York in 1858, but soon moved to California, where in her early womanhood she was united in marriage to Mr. Lawrence Casey. She and her husband moved to Sierra Valley in 1860, where the latter died in 1883, leaving her to care for a family of five children, all of whom she reared to manhood and womanhood.
Two sons survive her, one who tenderly and affectionately cared for her in her declining years.
Like many others in those early days, many perplexing conditions confronted Mrs. Casey. But blessed by nature with a bright mind, imbued with a progressive spirit, and having an abundance of energy, she set about to establish a home in the wilds of a new country, and like all the grand old pioneers, a few people can look over the broad span of 97 years with a conviction that they have performed Life's Duties as earnestly, as faithfully and as devotedly as this Christian woman did hers.
She earned a crown of glory, the prize of a noble and well-spent life.

+Agnes Casey, b. 1861, California, d. March 01, 1909.
Henry E. Casey, b. 1862, California, d. January 16, 1935.
