Caswell, Cyrus L, farmer, is a brother of the above subject (Joseph
Caswell). He was born April 4, 1831, while his parents dwelt in La Grange
county, Indiana. His mother died when he was but seven years old, and he
was brought up by Triplett, who was subsequently one of the pioneers of
Chester. Messrs. Triplett and Caswell came here at the same time as those
above mentioned, and made claims. Mr. Caswell's was partly on the
Half-breed Tract. In 1861 he traded land for the eighty acres on section
27, where his home has been ever since. He still retains sixty acres on
section 25, where he first settled. He was elected supervisor in 1868; he
is a republican. In theological matters he agrees with the Methodists. He
was married July 14, 1856, to Margaret Jenkins, a native of England. They
have buried three daughters, and have one living, besides three sons. John
married Carrie Lewis, and resides in the house with his parents. The
others are William, Charles and Mary.
