CASEMENT, DAN DILLON (1868–1953), inducted 1939
Born near Painesville, Ohio, and educated at Princeton and Columbia Universities, Dan Casement began his ranching career at age twenty-two. In 1915, he founded Juniata Farm in Manhattan, Kansas, focusing on the breeding of Herefords and Quarter Horses. He volunteered to serve in the Great War, even though he was forty-nine years old in 1917. After the war, Casement helped charter the American Quarter Horse Association, served as correspondence editor for The Breeder’s Gazette, and wrote for the American Hereford Association. For many years, Casement was a director and judge at the International Live Stock Exposition. Dan Casement was inducted into the Hall of Great Westerners at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1958.
