The Evening Star (Washington, D.C.) November 7, 1899 page 13
Mrs. Mary A. Casey, who died at her home, 1741 N street, Sunday afternoon last, had been a resident of this city since 1861. She was a native of Pennsylvania, where her early married life was passed, until the appointment of her husband by President Lincoln as a member of the Court of Claims, of which he became chief justice on its reorganization in 1863. Mrs. Casey’s social life at this time, and for many years, was very prominent and gave her, in a social way, an acquaintance with most of the famous public men of that day.
For more than sixty years she was a member of the Presbyterian Church, first at Carlisle, Pa., then in the New York Avenue Church of this city, with all whose interests she was for many years prominently identified, and in which Judge Casey was a ruling elder. Dr. Gurley Mitchell and Paxton, so well remembered here, were intimates in Mrs. Casey’s hospitable home. She became a charter member of the Church of the Covenant, and died in its communion. Her later years were burdened with invalidism, and she has led a very retired life. The older citizens remember her and her husband with great respect and affection.
The funeral will take place from her late residence Thursday at 11 o’clock a.m.
