    3. Hello Lincoln County researchers. We have a page on the Lincoln County GenWeb web site listing all of the veterans recorded in the 1885 state census of the county at: http://skyways.lib.ks.us/kansas/genweb/lincoln/military.htm. Ann Lamb donated information for one of those listed and we have added it to the page. Here's what she donated: Name, age, Township, page no.: N. CASNER, 65, Marion, p.4 State of enlistment: Iowa Company -- Regiment -- Arm of Service: B -- 26 -- Infantry [Information supplied by great granddaughter, Ann Lamb (AnnL7777@aol.com): Nicholas Casner was born 11 Sept 1819 in Lebanon, Hunterdon County, NJ, son of Abraham Castner and Mary Ann McClean. He married Emma Amelia Kellogg on 26 Mar 1855 in Geneva, Kane Co., IL. He died at age 89 on 17 Feb 1908 in Kansas City, Mo (at the home of his son Fred Casner) and was buried in Eastside Cemetery, Hutchinson, Reno County, KS where he had lived since retiring from farming in Lincoln Co, KS. His wife is also buried there. I have his Pension file.] If any of you have information on the veterans found on this page feel free to conact me with it and I'll add it to the page. If you have a web site with info on the veteran let me know and I'll add that as well. Don't send me too much information as we're limited in space on that page.
