== Death of father, Andrew Casey == 

 I have searched for any proof that John J. Casey's father died in 1882, as claimed in the article - and found none.  But I have found a variety of newspaper articles saying that Andrew Casey, father of John J. Casey, died in 1910.  These articles appear in Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Pittston and Philadelphia papers.  They note that Andrew is the father of John J Casey, from Wilkes-Barre, PA, who is running for the position of Secretary of the Interior on the Keystone Party platform.  I have also found the death certificate indicating that John took his father, Andrew, back to Wilkes-Barre for burial. Hope this is useful.
