BEGIN

Abram S. Case, of Three Bridges, Hunterdon County, is a wide-awake,
enterprising, young business man.  He is thoroughly interested in the
promotion of local prosperity and improvements and can always be relied upon
to do his fill share toward the upbuilding and advancement of his community.
He has been too much occupied in his diversified business affairs to
take any active part in politics, and is quite independent of party ties,
preferring to give his support to the men whom he deems best qualified to
represent the people, regardless of their party affiliations.
  The parents of our subject were Jacob and Margaret (Schomp) Case.
The father was born and reared in Raritan Township, Hunterdon County, and
from the time he arrived at manhood he was occupied in agricultural pursuits.
He has favored the Republican party, and has been a freeholder for several
years, though he has not been at all desirous of holding public office.
Of his children four are living, viz.:  Clarinda, wife of George N. Smith,
of Easton, Pa.; Anthony L., a farmer and auditor of this county; Abram S.,
and Anna H., who is at home.
  Abram S. Case was born in Raritan Township, this county, September 26,
1860.  He was first a pupil in the public schools, but later attended private
institutions of learning in Flemington and Somerville, owing to his earnest
wish to have better advantages than were offered by the common schools.
After he had worked for about a year on the farm, he concluded that that
business was not to his taste, and that he could find an occupation in which
his natural financial talents might be better employed.  In 1885 he bought the
hotel at Three Bridges, and has since conducted the very same successfully.
Later he commenced dealing in grain, hay, feed, coal, farm machinery, etc.,
and though not located in a large town, he transacts an extensive business
in these various lines, it amounting to $50,000 or $60,000 and sometimes
$75,000 a year.  During a season he has had pressed as high as five thousand
tons of hay, his shipments running over five hundred car-loads.  He handles
some fancy driving stock, and his excellent judgment is the selection of
young horses has made him noted throughout this section as an authority
on the subject.  In short, he brings to bear upon every enterprise rare
executive ability and native shrewdness and penetration.
  December 27, 1883, Mr. Case married Martha W., daughter of John D. and
Elizabeth (Kuhl) Van Liew, formerly of this county, but now of Des Moines,
Iowa.  Six children were born to our subject and wife:  Elizabeth V. L.,
October 5, 1884; Jacob L., May 15, 1886; Margery C., March 28, 1889 (died
March 19, 1897); Martha K., October 28, 1892; Pauline, November 22, 1894,
and Ruth, December 16, 1896.  Mrs. Case is a member of the Presbyterian
Church, to which her husband is a regular and generous contributor.
