CLARENCE L. CASEY was born in Iberia 7 January 1897, a son of John Simeon Casey (1862-1937) and Martha A. Barlow (1865-1957) who married in Miller County in 1884. John Simeon Casey was born near Mt. Vernon , Illinois in 1862 and Martha was a native of Missouri.
The children of John and Martha were: CLINTON JOHN CASEY m. Melvina Hopkins; OLIVE MYRTLE CASEY; ELVA ETTA CASEY; CLARENCE L. CASEY 1897-1956 m. Cora M. Adams; CLARK L. CASEY 1899-1966; JOSEPHINE CASEY; CARL PARKER CASEY 1905-1935; MAY BELLE CASEY 1885-1893; and CHARLES CLIFFORD CASEY 1894-1895.
On June 23, 1915, Clarence married Cora M.Adams (1895-1968), a daughter of George W. and Gertrude ( Gardner ) Adams and they became parents of three children: George John Casey, Martha Gertrude Casey; and Juanita Casey.
Clarence's ancestors, the Caseys, came from Northern Ireland and first settled in Virginia in the late 1700s. His grandparents were Zadoc and Sarah (Castleman) Casey who came to Miller County circa 1865 and settled on a farm near the Barren Fork creek, 5 miles north of Iberia.
John Casey, father of Clarence, organized the Bank of Iberia in the late 1890's, Iberia's first bank. It was located at the southeast corner of St. Louis and Main Streets when built.
Clarence Casey was a supporter of the Republican Party and was elected as a delegate to the Missouri State Republican Convention in St. Joseph in 1928. Clarence and George Adams began a business in Iberia called Adams and Casey Mercantile Company with a funeral home on the second floor. Clarence was a funeral director for many years in Iberia . He was also very active in community activities including being a member of the Iberia Masonic AF & AM Lodge #410 (was Worshipful Master 1930-32); member of the Board of Directors of the Missouri State Funeral Directors Association; member of the Board of Directors of Bank of Iberia; and a trustee/director of Iberia Academy where both he and his wife, Cora, had attended as young students; and were members of the Iberia Missionary Baptist Church.
In the 1939 fire that destroyed much of downtown Iberia , one of the buildings destroyed was called the Clarence Casey building, formerly the office of Dr. von Gremp and was occupied at the time of the fire by Dr. E.D. Suggett, a dentist. The Adams and Casey Mercantile building was a complete loss including the funeral home on the second floor, located on the northeast corner of St. Louis and Main Streets. Their loss in merchandise and funeral supplies was about $16,000. Most business places were not covered with insurance because of the exorbitant prices even in those days with the buildings built close together and made of wood.
Clarence L. Casey died on April 28, 1956 at the age of 59 years and was buried at Iberia Cemetery . His wife, Cora (Adams), died in 1968 and was placed beside Clarence at Iberia Cemetery .
