Century Memorial
Colonel Thomas Lincoln Casey was one of those officers in the regular army whose record shows the variety of activities which arise from army service. He had been an entomologist, a palæontologist; had served as assistant astronomer in the Transit of Venus expedition to the Cape of Good Hope in 1882; had managed the government’s engineering exhibit at the St. Louis exposition, and had been placed several times in charge of river and harbor construction work.
