   VANDAL H. CASNER, farmer and stock-raiser, is a native of the Old Dominion,
his birth occurring June 19, 1830, in Randolph County, and is one in a family of
six children born to George and Margaret (Yeager) Casner. He received his
education from the old fashioned subscription schools, selected farming as his
vocation through life, and February 16, 1851, was married to Mrs. Barbara L.
(Johnson) Barnes. In May, 1855, he came to Greene County, Ind., locating in
Beech Creek Township, where he has ever since resided, with the exception of
eleven years, when he made his home in Center Township. September 29, 1864, he
became a member of Company B, Fifty-seventh Indiana Volunteer Infantry, and
after participating in the engagements of Franklin and Nashville, and various
minor engagements, he was honorably discharged July 15, 1865. Mr. Casner is one
of the progressive and substantial men of Beech Creek Township, beginning life
with no substantial means, and by good management and industry accumulating 300
acres of good land. In politics, he is independent, voting for men and not party
measures, rejecting the wrong and adopting the right. He and wife belong to the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and are the parents of this family: Solomon, George,
Eliza R., Byron V., Lincoln R., Grant O., Ida M. and Edith E., all living.
