  • Notes 
    • The Hasler surname was initially spelled Häsler and/or Haesler

      Casper Hasler was born in in 1813 Switzerland. He died Nov 19, 1884 in Greene Co, Indiana, Taylor Twp. Catherine Moser, his wife, was born Dec 25, 1816 in France. She died Mar 14, 1897 in Greene Co, Indiana. Casper Hasler spent his early years in Switzerland. He then went to France and worked as a stone cutter. On April 10, 1837, he married Catherine Moser. Time became hard so Casper and Catherine talked about going to the new rich country of America. They made the decision to risk it all and see if they could have a home and live in the new land across the sea. It was a bitter parting for Casper to leave his wife and children and go to America. There was one child on the way. Knowing that the way things were then, this child may never see its father. Casper cam to the United States in 1849. It took 38 days on the water to arrive. He had to take his own provisions on the ship, which consisted of a barrel of crackers and some cheese. Casper made his way to the small town of Bloomfield Indiana. There he met another man from Switzerland who had been in the country long enough to be able to speak English. It was a very happy meeting for him, he had not been able to find employment since he couldn't speak English. This man took him home and gave him food and shelter. The man's name was Kimerick. He was an iron worker and Casper being a stone cutter, the two men ended up working together. Casper got a job cutting stone for a bank in a town called Furnace, which was close to Bloomfield. The building was later moved to Bloomfield. Casper made enough money to send for his wife and children. Catherine was only able to bring a small amount of precious keepsakes with her. (Hand carved items, silverware, pictures, and a cow bell in particular. Catherine left for America in 1850 with seven small children and no help. The oldest one being ten. From New York she traveled down the rivers until she came to Louisville. From there she hired a covered wagon and oxen to take her to Mineral, where she camped. She knew her husband was in that vicinity. Casper spoke many of the languages of the countries in Europe. Some one came and got Casper and asked that he talk to some people as no one could understand them. He left work and went there hoping to learn something of his own family. He was most surprised to see his wife, Catherine, and his children! So, he happily gathered up his family and took them to a little home near Rockwood, which he had furnished mostly with his own hands.

      He probably changed the spelling of his name from Kasper to Casper sometime after arriving in America.
