Married Esther S. (Banks) Taylor 6 Oct 1924, in Marshall, MI. She was born in 1872 in Cuba, IN, dgtr of Wm. R. and Catherine (Volkart) Banks.
There are discrepancies in the date of birth for Casper, Jr., as is the case for several of his siblings. He was the first-born son among his siblings, so gravestone birth year is likely inaccurate. His next older sibling Eliza claimed birth date of 9 Mar 1873. His next younger sibling August claimed birth date of 15 Sept 1875. If Eliza's birth date of March 1873 is correct, Casper, Jr., was probably born in 1874 or 1875, and brother August in 1875 or 1876 (1876 is calculated from August's age on his marriage license). On 1880 census, Casper is recorded to be 5, and brother August 4. Casper's WW I draft card claimed birth date of 15 Aug 1875, one month before birth date claimed for brother August. On 1900 census, Casper's birth is recorded Jan 1875. His death certificate has birth date of 15 Aug 1876, with informant being his wife. Considering his birth order and all dates on record, it seems that Casper, Jr.'s, birth year was 1874 or 1875, with month and day uncertain.
