Read More	Nathan Lee Casey was the son of John Casey and Tabitha Rosella (Flint) Casey of Greenbrier, Doddridge County, West Virginia. Lee Casey began work early in his life as a pipeline walker for 14 years for South Penn Oil Company and Hope Natural Gas. His income contributed to the support of his mother and younger siblings when his father died suddenly a few days after the birth of Lee's youngest sister. While roaming the West Virginia countryside for his employers, Lee discovered his true calling: to bring the word of God and Jesus Christ to others. He began pursuing this calling as a lay minister for the Methodist Church in 1915. He returned to school in 1914 at the West Virginia Wesleyan Academy and later graduated in 1923 from West Virginia Wesleyan College with an A.B. degree. Lee Casey married Lulu Madge Randolph, a teacher who had studied at Broaddus College, in 1922 in Clarksburg, WV, after several years of frequent correspondence by letters. They became the loving parents of Virginia Lee (Casey) Gleason, Ernest Randolph Casey, and Joseph Howard Casey. Ordained a Deacon by the Methodist Conference in 1924 and an Elder in 1926, Lee's appointments included Methodist churches in Buckhannon, Charleston, Dunbar, Tunnelton, Wheeling, Pine Grove, Huntington, and Lumberport, West Virginia. He was a frequent revival meeting speaker, and in retirement continued to preach as a guest minister. He held a prayer meeting in his home every morning from the beginning of his ministry until the last days of his life. Lee and Lula retired to Salem, WV, where they lived with their son Ernest and attended the Salem United Methodist Church. A strong advocate of raising his own vegetables, Lee and son Ernest grew corn and green beans on a large plot next to the home. They also enjoyed playing horseshoes, a pastime Lee's six grandchildren were able to enjoy with him. Lee became a widower when Lula passed away in 1969. A good and faithful servant of the Lord, Nathan Lee Casey passed away suddenly at his home on November 5, 1971. By: AnneMGleason, Granddaughter ________________________________________________________ THAT'S N.L. CASEY If while walking down some street, By chance a special man you meet, Who stands so tall - whose dignity Is like some great majestic tree - That's N. L. Casey! And when he stops to take your hand, And smiles, it's then you'll understand, Why we who know him love to be A part of such good company - That's N. L. Casey! No timid soul, this stalwart man, He speaks for God where'er he can, And when he makes that final round There's many a star will grace his crown - That's N. L. Casey! So, at Thanksgiving time you see, We're grateful for such men as he, And in our prayers, from day to day We'll thank the Lord he came our way - Yes that's N. L. Casey!
