I have since found out that Mrs. Eva Case was born - Miss Eva Watkins, and she married Mr. John Homer Case (Pres. of Case Canning Co. Marshfield) on 24th December 1993.
Eva was a daughter of John W. Watkins, a farmer residing near Elkland, and a great-granddaughter of the late Judge William Haymes a pioneer of Webster County, having settled there there in 1833.

It appears that Mrs. Case was a mother of 6 (5 of whom were boys), and an active worker in the Methodist Episcopal church and the Women's Christian Temperance Union and was a force for good in her community.

Her husband John Homer Case was born near Elkland, but the family came from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The Case family was founded in America by 5 brothers from England who were Iron workers.

This information came from "Missouri- The Center State" 1915 by Walter B. Stevens via
Google Books.
