Old-Time Square Dances Were a Delight To The Pioneers Of This County 
Smith Casterline married Ellen Mills, sister of Al Mills a former sheriff of Blackford county. Mr. Casterline served various terms as city and county surveyor. He owned and operated one of the first photographic galleries in Hartford City and many old fashioned tin types now in possession of the family are proof of his ability. He also wrote and set to music many religious songs, one in particular, he wrote many years ago for his grand-niece, Mrs. Frank Smith, is in her possession yet today. He conducted the old time singing schools both at Bailey and Lillibridge schools. He owned and played one of the first melodeons to make its appearance in this community and his home was always a popular place for the younger folks to gather. He kept a daily diary from his youth to old age and therein is to be found authentic records of the weather, what he did each day and any unusual event occurring in the neighborhood. These books are now in the possession of his daughter, Mrs. Eva Stamm of New Castle, Ind., and his son, George of Muskegon, Mich. Charles Casterline, another son, was killed a few years ago, when struck by an automobile near Cleveland, Ohio, where his two children now reside. Charles was also a fine photographer, being engaged in that business at the time of his demise.
