Was asbestos used in plaster walls in 1896

Very, very unlikely that it contains any type of asbestos. It's more likely to be in newer plaster (the type that's been applied over rock lath) and joint compounds used in the '40s through the '70s. Cattle hair and goat hair is the most common fiber in 18th, 19th and early 20th century plaster.
