From "Portrait and Biographical Record of Hunterdon and Warren Counties,
New Jersey" by the Chapman Publishing Company in 1898:

BEGIN

Asa Case, an honored resident of Cherryville, Hunterdon County, is now
living retired from active life, as he has richly earned a season of rest
and quiet.  He has been a very industrious, thrifty farmer for the greater
portion of his career, and has acquired a competence for his declining years
by the exercise of prudence and good business management of his affairs.
In all his dealings with his fellow-men he has been noted for his unvarying
integrity of word and deed, and those who know him best are the ones who
accord him the highest praise.
  The father of the above, William Case, was, like himself, a native of this
county and was a life-long resident within its borders.  He was a carpenter
by trade and united the calling with that of farming until he was pretty
well along in years.  Then for a period he engaged in the cooperage business
with his eldest son, Jonathan.  His life was a very useful and active one
and at all times he strove nobly to do his whole duty toward God and man.
In his political convictions he was a Democrat.  His labors finished he was
summoned to his reward at the good old age of seventy-nine years.  He was
a son of Adam Case, who as far as known was a native of this county also
and whose occupation was that of a gunsmith.  The mother of our subject
bore the maiden name of Rachel Evans.  Of her fifteen children she reared
all but three, and of this large family but three are now living.  Annie,
the widow of Mr. Green, is now about eighty-eight years old; while Matilda,
widow of Jacob Gray, is eighty-one.  The revered mother, who was a faithful
member of the Baptist Church, also attained a ripe age, dying when in her
eighty-fifth year.
  Asa Case was born on the old farm in Raritan Township, this county,
April 14, 1827.  In common with the other children of his day his education
was such as the public schools afforded, and like other farmer lads, he
was early initiated into the duties of farm management.  He remained at
home until he was past his majority and was so judicious in the matter
of expenditure of such funds that he earned that he was enabled to buy a
farm for himself when he was about twenty-seven years of age.  This place
was situated in the same township in which he had been reared, and to its
cultivation and improvement he devoted the next twenty years of his life.
A desirable opportunity then offering itself he sold out, and in liew
thereof bought the homestead known as the Lawsie farm, it being located
in Franklin Township.  Here he lived until 1881, when he came to reside in
Cherryville, but a year later he went back to the farm.  In 1887 he became
a permanent citizen of Cherryville, having purchased a pretty home in the
town and decided to pass his remaining years here in quiet and content.
  In 1847 Mr. Case married Elizabeth Ann Rodebock, a native of Hunterdon
County and a daughter of John D. Rodebock.  She has been a faithful helpmate,
sharing her husband's joys and sorrows and helping him in every possible
manner.  They have three children:  Mary E., widow of Henry S. Brown;
Rachel Anna, who is unmarried; and John D., a progressive business man
of this county.  July 24, 1897, Mr. and Mrs. Case celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage.  For the past fourty-eight years Mr. Case
has been a consistent member of the Baptist Church and has always done his
share towards the support of the same.  His family are also identified with
the church and are valued workers in the denomination.  Politically he is
a Republican.
