OBITUARY
MRS. PHILIP CASE
[From The Harlem Reporter.]
Mrs. Philip Case, formerly Miss Emma Jean Bassett Covert, who recently passed away after an illness of over eight months’ duration, at her residence, 2118 Madison avenue, was the widow of the late Philip Case of Ithaca, N.Y. Mr. Case was a prominent man of wealth and influence in his prosperous days, and the old inhabitants of Ithaca remember him as a man of the most generous nature and helpfulness to any one in trouble or distress. Mrs. Case was noted wherever she was known for her humane tendencies, by her many acts of real Christian kindness. She could not see distress without seeking a remedy for it, and hundreds of the poor, unknown, have received at her hands something to help them on their sad way. A kind and friendly word and smile always accompanied her ready act. She had many poor children in different parts of the city whom she encouraged in her own helpful way, and her veneration for old people was most remarkable.
Mrs. Case was vice-president of the Harlem Women’s Republican club and president of a musical and literary club, where her presence was always felt and appreciated. She was also one of the vice-presidents of the Harlem Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and for many years a faithful worker in the Chinese work of New York, also of Holy Trinity Church, of which she was a member. One of the Chinamen with whom she had spent many hours teaching to sing the church hymns crossed the continent from San Francisco to try and see her before the end came. He arrived just in time to attend the funeral service, which was held at her residence at 8 o’clock Monday evening, May 14. It was conducted by the Rev. H.P. Nichols of Holy Trinity Church, assisted by the Rev. Alexander G. Cummins. The W.C.T.U. attended in a body, and during the service the former president, Mrs. Westerfield, with whom Mrs. Case was associated, made kind remarks regarding her faithful work both in the social and industrial branches of the union.
When her physician told Mrs. Case that he could do no more for her, but that a higher power than his controlled her life, she accepted the summons with calmness and Christian love, and conversed with friends freely about her passing from this life to join those loved ones who had gone before. She enjoyed beyond expression the visits of her rector, which were frequent, and his loving, Christian encouragement and guidance gave repose to her long hours of waiting for the final call. Mrs. Case left a daughter, May Ella, and a son to mourn the loss of an ever-loving and devoted mother. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Governor Cornell of New York, and Mrs. Strong of Chicago, Ill., and two brothers, Dr. James L. Covert of Fredericktown, Miss., and Stephen Bassett Covert at Sheldrake, N.Y. The interment was at Ithaca, N.Y.
