Hello List: I had sent a message to the list earlier thanking David for giving me information on Haystack Cemetery in Wheeler County. However, I have not seen the message come through so thought I would send it again. I want to thank all of those who responded about the cemetery. I have found that the Oregon list is one of the most helpful of the many, many lists to which I subscribe. Now, if there are any Carsner/Casner descendants/researchers/people who lurk about in cyber space, I would like to hear from you. My Casner/Carsner family migrated from MO/IA to OR beginning in 1852, and the last arriving in OR in 1862. There were 12-13 brothers and one sister (in addition to the mother who had been widowed in 1847 in IA. Many settled in OR, some went to WA, some to CA; several of them struck it rich in the CA mines. At least five of them went to AZ in 1875 where two remained; two were murdered in west TX in 1877, the fifth was a wonderer. I have extensive information that I am willing share; have collected some wonderful photos. All the families has most interesting lives, many have tragic circumstances, but they were survivors. It appears when the split occured in the family circa 1870-75, those that remained in OR/WA changed the spelling to CARSNER; those that moved on to AZ kept CASNER. Anyone researching/descending from this line interested in hearing more? Contact me direct.

I have a CASNER branch from PA. The family moved to Ohio and then to Iowa. Contact me off the list and perhaps there is a link. I'll check with a cousin who is a direct CASNER.
