CASEY
A son of John Caleb and Lucy Casey was named Robert. Robert married Mary Frances Thomson in 1933, they had four children. Of the four, three are still living, David, a school superintendent-Lucy, a school teacher and Patricia, an executive secretary for the Robert Stoback Co in Plano. Robert was an out- standing farmer, using technique that was new in our part of Texas. He was recognized for his cotton crops with write-ups in local papers, he also raised a large watermelon crop, some that he gave to the San Angelo State Boys School. On one night he heard what he knew to be local kids helping themselves to some of his watermelons, so he thought he would cure them of that habit. He got his double barrel shotgun out, fired in the air, and heard one kid yell "you got me". Of course, Robert knew that he had not shot a child, since he pointed his gun up, but the kids ran, hit Rough Creek, got lost and didn't get home until the next day.

Mary married CASEY Robert Brooks in 1933. Robert (son of CASEY John Caleb and COX CASEY Lucy Amanda "Mandy") was born on 30 Mar 1909 in Novice, Coleman Co, TEXAS; died on 24 Oct 1974 in Novice, Coleman Co, TEXAS. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
