BIO: 60202303 Job Matrawony Casebolt An esteemed and highly respected resident of Jasper county, Job Casebolt has for many years been conspicuously identified with the advancement of the agricultural prosperity of Jasper county, and is now busily employed in general farming in section fifteen, Madison township. A native of Virginia, he was born June 18, 1845, in Scott county, the year in which Texas was admitted as a state to the Union and the year in which Andrew Jackson's death occurred. His father, Job Casebolt, Sr., was born in Virginia, where his father settled on coming to this country from Germany. In 1854 he came to Missouri with his family, making the long and tedious overland journey with teams. Locating in Jasper county, he was here a resident until his death, in January, 1856. His wife, whose maiden name was Elizabeth Garlick, died in the fall previously. They were the parents of eight children, four of them being sons. Two of the sons, William, of whom a brief account is given elsewhere in this volume, and Job served as soldiers in the Civil War, belonging to the Union forces. Brought up on the home farm, Job Casebolt acquired his early knowledge in the primitive log school house of his times. Soon after the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the Fourteenth Kansas Volunteer Cavalry, under command of Captain A. H. Campbell and Colonel Blair, and as a rough rider did gallant service as a soldier, taking part in the engagements at Camden, Arkansas, and at Saline Cross Roads. He also made many raids on the enemy, and did duty in guarding property in various parts of Arkansas, for a time being under command of General Thayer. On one occasion he was sent with his regiment to Red River to assist General N. P. Banks, but arrived too late to be of any assistance. In June, 1865, Mr. Casebolt was honorably discharged from the service at Fort Gibson. Returning home, he subsequently spent some time in Kansas, living at Fort Scott from 1866 until 1869, when he came back to Jasper county, Missouri, and bought a farm seven miles north of Carthage and lived there four years. He then sold there and bought a farm in the west part of the county, where he lived until 1900. Then settling in Madison township, Mr. Casebolt bought his present farm of one hundred and twenty acres, in section fifteen, and has since continued the improvements
previously inaugurated. He has a good residence, comfortable and convenient farm buildings, everything about the premises indicating
the care and supervision of an excellent manager and a thorough-going farmer. In June, 1866, Mr. Casebolt was united in marriage with Mary E. Dazey, who was born in Jasper county, Missouri, where her parents,
Jacob and Nancy (Beach) Dazey, were among the first settlers. Fourteen
children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Casebolt. Six are now living, namely: John W., Job M., Dora F., Carrie B., Charles A. and James C. Elizabeth married C. A. Cullum, and died at the age of twenty-two. Seven others died in infancy. Politically Mr. Casebolt is an earnest supporter of the principles of the Republican party, and is now serving as road supervisor of Duval township.
