JOHN THOMAS CASEBIER:  This illustrious man of God was born in 
Central City, Kentucky, on December 18, 1842.  He was born of the 
Spirit of God in November, 1858 and united with the West Providence 
Church in Ohio County.  By this Church he was licensed to preach in 
March, 1869.  His ordination took place seven months later, in 
October, 1869.  From this time on until thirty-five years later he 
served a total of sixteen churches for once a month preaching; his 
terms of service ranging from two to twenty-five years at these 
churches.  His longest pastorate was at New Hope Church in Muhlenberg 
County, where he labored twenty-five years.  He also served Nelson 
Creek, Ebenezer, Friendship, Bethel, Oak Grove, Mt. Carmel, and South 
Carrollton in this same county.  Walton's Creek, Slaty Creek, Beaver 
Dam, Rockport, and West Point Churches in Ohio County also received 
his pastoral ministrations.  Green River and Station Churches in 
McLean County were pastored by him for a number of years.
     In the midst of his prime he was suddenly cut off from further 
usefulness by a stroke of paralysis.  This was in 1904, and for a 
period of twenty years he was an invalid.  He died at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. Albert Maddox, in Beaver Dam, Kentucky, on May 2, 1925.  
His funeral was preached by the pastor of the Church at Beaver Dam, 
Bro. C. C. Dawes, and his body was laid to rest in the Sunny Side 
cemetery.  He had a very fruitful ministry and baptized over 1,000 
persons into the fellowship of the Churches he served.  Being very 
evangelistic in his preaching and always carrying a burden for souls, 
he won many to the Lord.  He always stood firm for the "faith once for 
all delivered unto the saints," and was truly a good minister of Jesus 
Christ.
     Gasper River Association and Ohio County Association both enjoyed 
his guiding hand as Moderator for a number of years.
     He was twice married.  First, to Miss Samantha Tichenor, in 
November, 1865; next, to a sister of his former wife, Mrs. Zelma Wade, 
in September, 1882.  To these two unions nine children were born.  At 
the time of his death five were still living.  Since that time one 
that we know of has died, Mrs. Albert Maddox.
