It is with profound sadness that the Village of West Salem announces the passing of Village Trustee Karl August Case, who died on September 30, 2025.

A life-long resident of the area, he joined the Board of Trustees in January of this year, and served as Chair of the Streets and Alleys Committee. He was known for his kindness and generous spirit.
Trustee Case will be missed by his colleagues on the Board and by all who had the pleasure of working with him.
