His father was an accomplished violinist, but a neighbor gave him a small violin when he was nine, and he mastered it before he could read music. At age 16 he went to singing school (without parental consent), borrowing the money from a neighbor. C. A. Bentley, a prominent conductor, was his first vocal music instructor, and William Bradbury's “Jubilee” was the school textbook. For three winters in a row, he attended Bentley's singing school, working his father's farm in the summer. He married Annie Williams. In 1866 he studied music in Boston with B. F. Baker. He also studied under George Root, Horatio Palmer, Philip Bliss, George Webb, and others, hymnwriters in their own right. Soon after, Case began teaching music, and when James McGranahan moved two miles from his home, they became friends. Case wrote and edited a number of Gospel song books in his life. 6 works.

David Denham

1791 - 1848 Author of "Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints" in The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book Denham, David, born 1791, was the son of Thos.

In 1816 removed to Plymouth, in 1826 to Margate, and in 1834 to the Baptist Church in Unicorn Yard, Tooley Street, Southward. Ill-health compelled him to resign his charge in London, and he sojourned for a time at Cheltenham and Oxford. He died in 1848 at Yeovil, in Somerset, and was buried in Bunhill Fields Burial Ground, London. In 1837 he published a collection of hymns, as:— The Saints' Melody. A New Selection of upwards of One Thousand Hymns, Founded upon the Doctrines of Distinguishing Grace, and adapted to every part of the Christian's experience and devotion in the Ordinances of Christ, &c, 1837.

This Selection is still in common use in more than one hundred congregations in Great Britain and the colonies. Denham's hymns, all of which are signed "D. Denham," are numerous. There is also one, apparently by his wife, "Mrs. M. A. Denham." Outside of his own Selection his hymns are rarely found. The best known is "'Mid scenes of confusion and creature complaints." [Rev. W.
