From the Lima News.

November 12, 1952 - "Training South Korean artillery-men is Pvt. Cloyce E. McCaslin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl McCaslin, 2308 Adgate-rd. He is a member of the 300th Armored Artillery battalion which was assigned to training duties after receiving the Army's distinguished unit citation for its part in the destruction of a 120,000-man Chinese force last winter.".

The death report of Earl McCaslin in the Lima News reports that he was born March 13, 1892 although his WWI registration clearly says March 15. We also have confusion over the marriage date of Earl and Estella. The 1930 census seemed to show 1916 while the article on their 50th anniversary seemed to indicate December 1914. This article says December 16, 1914.
