great-grandchild of Casper
In 1841, Casper, along with his sister Margaret and mother, emigrated to the USA. Reportedly they took an open boat which took about 60 days to cross the ocean. After landing in Baltimore, MD and missing his father, Christopher, by some mistake - they sailed to NY, where they missed him again. Then they traveled to Pittsburgh, PA. From there they went to some point in MD where they walked through Bedford to Berlin. Here they learned that Christopher was located in Elk Lick and they started walking there. In the meantime, Christopher learned they were in Berlin and he started for that place. They met on the road near Pine Hill at a farm then occupied by Henry Miller. Casper reared his family in Elk Lick. He and his wife were members of the Lutheran Church of Salisbury where they were regularly in attendance and they took an active part in its support. By trade he was a butcher. He owned and operated a slaughterhouse south of Salisbury and marketed the meat in his meat market located within what was then known as the Hays Block. His market was later destroyed when a fire burned the entire block. He was a staunch Democrat and served in a number of Borough offices.
