This is Mrs. Ezra Isacc {Ike)
Case, second wife of the
widower Case, who went back
East to marry her in 1917. He,
with his two daughters May
and Belle, had previously
become established in the
livery stable business in
Othello in 1907, when the
town was beginning to build
and boom. Both she and her
husband lived out their years
in Othello, and are buried in
the small cemetary north of
town on hiway 17.
She is shown with a child
presumed to be that of her
step-daughter May, who had
married Harry O'Neil, and
associated with her father in
the livery barn. Behind her is
the two-room house in which
the Cases lived which, to-
gether with the two adjacent
lots, make up the site of
today's new Washington
