Mr Howard Brown Case, 48, managing director of the Vacuum Oil Company Ltd., Caxton House, Westminster, London, boarded the Titanic at Southampton as first class passenger. He bought ticket number 19924 for £26. He may have intended to make a business trip to Standard Oil Cy., Rochester, New York.
Mr Case was a well-known American resident in England. He originally came from Rochester, New York. First coming to England in 1886, he returned to the United States in 1891. Eight years later, in 1899, he came back to England to take the sole charge of his company's interests in England. He resided at Coombe Grange, Ascot together with his wife and four children (two sons and two daughters).
Some survivors recalled that Case helped women and children into the boats and finally stepped back to meet his fate.
Mr Howard Case died in the sinking. His body, if recovered, was never identified.
