During the Civil War he lost his mind. He became superstitious on the subject of witches and kept a gun loaded with needles to shoot them. Three days before he died, he broke his long silence and predicted that he was to die. He passed away within an hour of the time he named.

A Columbus (Indiana) Evening Republic, February 8, 1897, p. 4. A GIRL IN THE CASE Harvey McCaslin of Franklin who was sued for divorce by his wife, Mrs. Eva McCaslin, last Monday, the same exciting so much comment on account of the prominence of the parties, added a fresh chapter to the story last night by marrying Miss Esther Murphy at Nashville, Brown County. The divorce was granted Tuesday morning. Miss Murphy is seventeen years of age and for three years past has been a domestic in the McCaslin house. Her home was at Greenwood, Indiana. The marriage is taken as confirmation of the alleged intimacy between McCaslin ad the girl prior to the family trouble and, though this was not so alleged in the complaint, it is generally credited as being the true causes of the separation and subsequent divorce. Mr. McCaslin and his bride will live on the former's big farm just south of Franklin.

The Evening News [about 17 Dec 1889] reported his death as follows: Death of Commodore Rader. Commodore Perry Rader, father of Thomas B. Rader, of the First National Bank died at his son's residence yesterday afternoon. Mr. Rader was a jovial kindhearted gentleman and was liked by everyone. He was born in Boone county, Ky., in 1829. Many years ago he moved to Henryville and remained there until his son came to this city to live when he accompanied him. He was a man not able to do hard work and rather than be idle, last Spring he accepted the position of janitor of the Chestnut street school building. He was taken ill of pneumonia last Thursday and grew gradually worse until the grim monster relieved him of all earthy troubles. The funeral takes place from the residence of Thomas B. Rader, North Spring Street at 1 o'clock today and the remains were taken to Henryville for burial. Jeffrey L.
