   Homer L. Casebere is one of the younger men whose enterprise entitles 
them to special consideration among DeKalb County agriculturists.  Mr. 
Casebere operates the fine old Casebere farm in Stafford Township, on the 
eastern edge of the county. This farm has many characteristics to be admired 
in the way of improvements and productiveness, and its good features are by 
no means covered up and lost sight of by the name chosen by the owner and 
officially recorded among farm names in the court house at Auburn.  This 
name is “Just-A-Mere Farm.”
   Mr. Casebere was born on this farm July 27, 1887, a son of S.S. and 
Flora (Dunkle) Casebere.  His father was born in Williams County, Ohio, 
January 22, 1860, son of George and Mrs. (Knisely) Casebere.  His parents 
now reside at Butler and are active members of the Christian Church there.  
S.S. Casebere has been quite active in the republican party and was formerly 
township trustee and member of the County Council.  In the family were 
three children: Lester, who married Lottie McDaniel, of Stafford Township; 
Mabel, wife of Frank Lyons, of Wilmington Township; and Homer L.
   Homer L. Casebere grew up on the home farm and finished his education 
with two years in high school.  He married Princess Thomas, daughter of 
Elder Fred A. Thomas of Milford, Indiana.  Mrs. Casebere finished her 
education at Valparaiso University. They have three children: Mabel, born 
October 1, 1912; Harold, born May 31, 1914; and Rachel, born January 22, 
1916. The family are members of the Christian Church and Mr. Casebere is 
one of its elders and also a teacher in the Sunday School.
   His farm comprises 155 acres and while it furnishes him ample 
employment for all his energies he has other interests, being a member of 
the Arctic Shipping Association of Arctic, is secretary of the Hobb 
Threshing Company, and a stockholder in the Hamilton National Bank at Fort 
Wayne.  He is also a member of the Grange and is a republican in politics.
