T. A. Casey

T. A. Casey [a "commercial merchant"] was born and reared in Cincinnati, going to the public schools and ending with Woodward.  During the civil war he was sergeant major of the One Hundred and Forty-fifth Indiana Volunteers, having removed to that state.  He came to Dayton in 1878 and fixed his residence here.  He has served two terms in council, and one term as president.  Mr. Casey is thoroughly interested in Dayton and her welfare.  

The GAR (a short history of the organization is at this site) held it's annual encampment in Dayton in September,1898.  All of the Dayton images and texts dated 1898 are from the souvenir booklet prepared for the occasion.
