General Notes: Husband - John S. McCaslin


His educational opportunities were meager, but he was a man of good mind, and became well informed in all essential things and possessed the natural qualities which made him of more than the average importance in his neighborhood. For a few years he engaged in a teaming business, but his real occupation through life was farming. In the fall of 1870 he moved to New Castle, but prior to that he had resided on a farm about one mile above Eastbrook. In 1895 he settled on his wife's old homestead in Shenango Township. Originally this farm contained 113 acres, and seventy acres remained after Mrs. McCaslin's brother, Zebina Allen purchased fifty acres. The whole farm was then cultivated on shares. On this farm the closing years of Mr. McCaslin's life were passed. He was a man of quiet, home-loving tastes, and never took any very active part in public affairs. He was a Republican in his political views.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, but Mrs. McCaslin was reared in the Christian Church.
