John Madison Casey married Mary Cummin Wolf during the Civil War days. They carried on a courtship by letter as he was away as medical doctor for confederate troops and her father did not approve of the relationship. However, they did resolve the problems and were married in 1862 at the Wolf House in Norfork, AR. They had seven children. Cannot locate burial sites for several of their children. Albert died and is buried in Floriad #11839783, Buleah can't find, Donald Jackson can't find. I believe the daughter Ada should be in the Mt. Home Cemetery.
DR. JOHN M. CASEY. This gentleman is one of the best known physicians of Baxter County, Arkansas, for he has been unusually successful in the practice of his profession, and that he deserves the good fortune that has attended his efforts is indisputable. He is not only honest and reliable, but he has ever been sympathetic, yet cheerful, in the sick room, and possesses the happy faculty of winning the confidence and liking of his patients, which has much to do with their restoration to health. The Doctor first saw the light of day in Hardeman County, West Tennessee, September 22, 1839, and he was reared by his grandmother, the wife of Hiram Casey, the pioneer Baptist minister of West Tennessee, who was probably as well known as any divine in the State at that time. His school days were spent in his native State, but on the IIth of December, 1855, he made a settlement in the vicinity of Mt. Home, Arkansas, and the first season that he arrived here he made a crop. Later he taught a three months subscription school at Pearson's Landing on White River, where he had for his pupils many of the best citizens of this county. In 1857 he began teaching in the Tolburt School House at Tolburt Springs, and later in the same year entered Head's Collegiate Institute at Batesville, where he pursued the paths of learning for some time. In 1858 he again began teaching, and conducted a subscription school at Job Teverbaugh's place, and in January, 1859, taught a school on Little North Fork in Ozark County. In July, 1859, he went to Welaka, Fla., and entered the Hotel Drug Store of Dr. Hamilton Black, on the St. John's River, and at the same time pursued the study of medicine. In 1860 he returned to Rapps Barrens and here taught school again until the latter part of 1860, when he began attending lectures in Pope's Medical College of St. Louis. He returned home in 1861,and practiced his profession up to the opening of the Civil War, and in July joined the Fourteenth Arkansas Infantry, Confederate States Army, being in Capt. Adams' company. He was soon promoted to assistant surgeon of the regiment, and at the battle of Elk Horn had charge of the hospital there. He later rejoined the army at Corinth, where he remained until the summer of 1862, when he returned home and here remained until September 4. He was married to Miss Mary C. Wolf, the youngest daughter of Maj. Jacob Wolf, and from 1863 to 1870 he was successfully engaged in the practice of his profession, and opened the first drug store of Mt. Home, a well-appointed establishment, of which Don J. is proprietor. He was postmaster of the place from 1870 to 1877, and was instrumental in having an office established at this point. He now again holds the responsible position of postmaster. When a boy, in 1858, he carried the mail from Big North Fork to Rockbridge, in Missouri. The Doctor is temperate in all things, is a Prohibitionist in sentiment, and socially has been a member of Huntsville (Arkansas) Lodge of the A. F. & A. M.; is a member of the Chapter and has represented both in the Grand Lodge of the State. He has always been a Democrat politically, and he and his wife are members of the Baptist Church, and he has for many years held various offices in the church. Of seven children born to himself and wife, six are living: Albert M., who is assistant postmaster of Mt. Home; Don J., proprietor of the drug store; John R.; Emmet Y.; Irene, Beulah, and Ada, who died when about five years old. Dr. Casey and his family are highly respected throughout the county and are useful, progressive and public-spirited citizens.
Died Dr Jim Casey 75 yrs old at his death, born at Middleburg, TN. He served as surgeon in Confederate Army. He married Miss Mollie C. Wolf d/o Major Wolf. The doctor's wife and Mrs Matilda Crownover are the two remaining daughters of Major Wolf. They organized Baptist Church here. He kept a diary of this town and section that is now history. Survivors are his wife, Mrs Mollie C. Casey and 6 children: John Casey of West Plains; Albert Casey of Batesville; Don, Beulah and Emmett of Mountain Home and Mrs Tan Harlin of West Plains, Mo. He died Thursday night last week, buried Mountain Home Cemetery. (However no headstone has been found.)
It may have been thought that his parents were Randolph and Gilla Dean Casey but his Missouri death certificate list Zadock W. and Neoma Casey as his parents. Zadock W. Casey died very young in 1854 while living in Marshall, TX. Evidently his mother, Neoma, had died previously in TN as Zadock was married to Amanda Foster Casey at the time of his death and they had married in TN. It is well known that Dr. John M. Casey was raised by his grandmother, Catherine DePriest Casey, widow of Hiram Casey, in the Mountain Home, AR area.
