Case, son of Deacon Samuel and Sally (Bailey) Case, was born in Norwich, Conn., November 19, 1823.
Case was one of the 15 founders of Delta Kappa Epsilon before graduating from Yale College in 1846.

Subsequently, he took a two-year course in the Yale Divinity School, and was ordained an evangelist at Norwich, July 31, 1855.

On the return of peace, he reopened his law-office in Jacksonville. His health failing, he finally returned to his father's house in Norwich, where he died, March 12, 1884, aged 60 years. He was never married.
