The Casement House. Western Reserve agriculturalist Charles Clement
Jennings built the Casement House, also known
as the "Jennings Place," for his daughter Frances
Jennings Casement in 1870. Designed by Charles W.
Heard, son-in-law and student of Western
Reserve master builder Jonathan Goldsmith, it
is an excellent example of the Italianate style,
featuring ornate black walnut woodwork, elaborate
ceiling frescoes, and an innovative ventilation
system. It remained in the Casement family
until 1953. It was added to the National
Register of Historic Places in 1979.

General Jack and Frances Jennings Casement. Frances Jennings Casement (1840-1928) was a prominent and
effective activist for women's rights. She organized the
Painesville Equal Rights Association in 1883 and served as
the first president of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association
from 1885 to 1888. She worked closely with national leaders
Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton during this
formative era in the women's suffrage movement.

Soldier and railroad builder. John Stephen "General Jack"
Casement (1829-1909) served with distinction in the Civil War,
rising from the rank of major to brigadier general of the
103rd Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was instrumental in the
completion of the first



transcontinental railroad in 1869,
receiving the contract (with his brother Daniel) to lay the
1,044 miles of track for the Union Pacific Railroad between
Fremont, Nebraska, and Promontory, Utah.
He lobbied for statehood and women's suffrage as a territorial representative
from Wyoming (1868-1869), where women won the right to
vote in 1869.
