"David M'Caslin Dies Suddenly
Rev. David McCaslin, retired Presbyterian minister, died suddenly at 6 o'clock Monday evening at the family residence, 668 South Haworth avenue[sic]. He would have been sixty-eight years old May 25th. His death was caused by cerebral hemorrhage. Mr. McCaslin was sitting at the dinner table when the attack came and died before a physician could reach the house.
Rev. David McCaslin after many years of service as a Presbyterian minister retired last fall and came to Decatur to make his home. He gained a large acquaintanceship and made many friends during his short residence in Decatur and was often called upon to supply pulpits in the neighborhood. Several times he conducted a series of meetings in various churches.
Rev. Mr. McCaslin was graduated from Hanover college [sic] in 1876 [sic]. His first pastorate was at Muncie, Ind. In later years he had charge in Minneapolis, St Paul, and in Cedar Rapids, Ia. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Harriet McCaslin, and two daughters, Miss Davida McCaslin of Decatur and Mrs. Frederic Brown of Huron, S.D. He also leaves a brother, Dr. Ezra McCaslin, of Detroit, Mich. Arrangements for the funeral await the arrival of the daughter and the brother."
