Lura M. Case was the daughter of Samuel Case (1832–1904) and Mary E. McMahan (1840–1917), born on 12 Dec 1861 in Crestline, Crawford County, Ohio. Lura married George William Callin on 27 Jun 1899 in Wood, Ohio.

Lura was the widow of Rev. Lemuel Lee Warner (1863–1888); they had both contracted typhoid fever in 1888, but only Lura recovered. Lura's son (Donald Warner) and daughter (Marie L Warner) were just a few years younger than George's youngest, Mabel.

George and Lura lived in Plain City, Wood, Ohio in 1900, where George served as a justice of the peace. In the summer of 1903 the Sheriff brought the local Bowling Green baseball team before him after four ministers complained of the team’s Sunday games. He continued to serve as Justice of the Peace for a total of 24 years.^[1][2][3]
