Bill,
Thank you for posting this sad news. I will always be grateful to Edee for
taking the time to answer my post about my 3rd great grandfather, Hannibal
Case.
I would like to send Edee a card. If you have time would you let me know her
mailing address?
I also descend from Henry Case & Martha Corwin thru son Henry to Daniel to
Daniel to Enos to Hannibal.
Thank you,
Ann Parsons

Subject: [CASE mail list] News of Edith (Bonacci) Woolever -
I write the following with much difficulty.
Today, I visited a longtime friend and researcher of Case family
genealogy;
Edith (Bonacci) Woolever. Edee is a Navy veteran and is now in Room 315,
at the
VA Nursing Center in Orlando Florida. She no longer has access to
computers,
and her genealogy records are in the possession of her daughter. She will
remain at the Nursing Center for the remainder of her life. She was
cheerful and
well aware of my identity even after many years from our only meeting many
years ago at the Orlando library. I am sure many of you will remember
Edee. One of
her recent E-mail addresses was ZoZoZo(a)aol.com.
Edee obtained all of the BriefCase issues and copied all data from them
into
a single Family Origins database. In addition she copied every known bit
of
Case genealogy data she had access to into a great Case database. She
shared her
files with all who asked, and received much criticism for not having
documentation to support the data. My observation is that she did a great
service by
providing clues to genealogy that many others were reluctant to share
because
of lack of documentation. although her and my ancestry were traceable to
Henry
and Martha Corwin, she kept records of other lines, particularly of the
contemporary brothers, John, Thomas, and William because she was convinced
that one
day they would be revealed to be related.
