Hello List:
I am posting this in the event anyone is looking for this particular
CASNER. It appears in a book 'History of Hickory, Polk,
Cedar, Dade & Barton Counties, Missouri' by the Goodspeed Publishing
Co., Chicago, 1889.
E. S. Casner, a breeder of fine horses in Barton County, MO., was born
in Juniata County, Penn., September 17,1846, and is a son of Thomas B.
and Sarah (Stees) Casner, who were also Pennsylvanians, their parents
coming from Germany. In 1847 they moved to Ohio, and ten years later to
Indiana, where the father died in 1872, and the mother still lives. They
were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and he was a Republican
in his political views, and during the late war served two years in the
Sixty-fourth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, United States Army. He was a
mechanic by trade. E. S. Casner is one of three surviving members of a
family of five children, and in his youth received a common school
education. At the age of seventeen years he began clerking in a store,
which occupation he followed five years, and in 1870 he came to Jasper
County, Mo., and after farming three years, turned his attention to
mercantile pursuits, continuing until 1880, when he began lead mining.
In 1887 he moved to Lamar, and soon after opened a stable of fine
breeding horses, owning three impoted Percheron horses and a
standard-bred Hambletonian horse, all of them fine animals. In
connection with managing his stable, he is engaged in mining, and all
his property has been acquired by hard work and good management, and has
been made since coming to Missouri, as he then had nothing. His first
money was made by breaking prairie at$2.50 per acre. He is a Republican
in his political views, and while in Jasper County held the office of
councilman one term. January 1, 1873, he was married to Miss Nellie
Gray, a native of New York, by whom he has three sons and one daughter.
