ANDREW DARWIN CASWELL, 21 Jul 1836 - 06 Dec 1899

   Andrew Darwin Caswell was born in Lake county, Ohio, Jul 21, 
1836, and died at Fremont, Indiana, Dec. 6, 1899.  The immediate 
cause of his death was acute congestion of the right lung, 
complicated with disease of the left lung, which was contracted 
during his service in the army.  He came to Steuben county in 1840.  
At the breaking out of the war of the rebellion, he quit school and 
enlisted in Co. B, 4th Mich. Inf., serving in that and other commands 
until the close of the war.  Dec. 25, 1863, he was married to Sarah 
Jane Hall.  To them were born eleven children, eight of whom, with 
his widow, survive him.

   As a citizen, Andrew D. Caswell embodied fully those qualities 
which go to make up an exemplary life. In his family he was a kind 
and affectionate husband and father.  In his business relations he 
was honest and upright.  In his associations with the people where 
he lived, he was careful not to say or do aught that would reflect 
upon the reputation of any one.  It can truly be said of him that he 
lived an honest and manly life and though not reaching the "three 
score years and ten," he had by his well spent life fully rounded 
out his work on earth.  He has gone to join the unnumbered host on 
high.  Few men have been better prepared for this invitation, "Come 
up higher."  Peace be with him.
