transcription of Biographies->9.200.jpg From "Portrait and Biographical Record of Hunterdon and Warren Counties New Jersey" published in 1898 by the Chapman Publishing Company: BEGIN Daniel P. Case. Much has been said by philosophers and able reasoners on the subject of the relative importance of the strictly commercial man in business and the farmer, by whose labor are produced the food supplies of the people, and these wise men have always come to the conclusion that the two classes are mutually necessary and dependent upon each other, and therefore of equal value to any state. If anything, the farmer is the more independent man of the two, and upon him rests the foundation of any prosperous nation. New Jersey has ever been fortunate in her agriculturalists, for they have developed her resources to the utmost limit, and the great cities adjacent to her territory depend largely upon her for food products. Among the enterprising farmers of Raritan Township, Hunterdon County, is the subject of this article. He is the possessor of a valuable tract of nearly two hundred acres, suitable for raising ordinary crops, and also used for dairying. He is a native of this vicinity, having been born on the farm now owned by Peter Shepherd, December 28, 1854. His parents were David A. and Susan E. (Pierson) Case, natives of the same township. They had five children, the eldest of whom, John R., lives near Quakertown; Joseph D. is a resident of Delaware Township; Jonathan is a resident of this township; Susan E. is deceased; and Daniel P. is the youngest. The father was a life-long agriculturalist, and passed his last years in Franklin Township. He died in 1894, at the good old age of eighty-two years. His wife was fourscore years old at the time of her death, in 1891. When he was a youth of fifteen, Daniel P. Case went to East Amwell Township, where he worked on a farm for two years, and then, going to Delaware Township, he found employment in the same line for a similar period. From that time until 1894 he resided in Franklin Township, and while there acted in the capacity of register of the township, having been elected by his political friends, the Republicans of that locality. For the past four years he has lived upon the farm which he purchased in 1894. Mr. Case attended the seminary at Ringoes after finishing the elementary studies in the public schools, and is to-day a well-informed man upon the various subjects of general interest. In 1879 he married Minnie Sturm, of Sunnyside, daughter of Frederick Sturm, and they have four children, viz.: Leslie J., Fred S., Recttor D. [sic] and John P. Mr. and Mrs. Case are members of the Baptist Church of Flemington, and stand high in the regard of all who have the pleasure of their acquaintence.
