OBITUARY #3 - The Republican Leader, October 28, 1892

Elma Samantha Dawalt was born February 3d, 1875, died October 12th, 1892, at the age of 17 years, 8 months and 9 days, of typhoid fever, after an illness of five weeks. Her burial took place at the Franklin graveyard, October 13th, at 2:30 p.m., and was attended by a large crowd of relatives and friends who looked with tearful eyes and breaking hearts upon her remains for the last time upon earth. Her loving disposition won for her a large circle of friends who are left, with a mother, brother, two sisters and many other relatives to mourn their loss. Oh Death! It seemed so hard to give her up just in the bloom of youth and merging into womanhood. She was the life and joy of their home and her death has cast a shadowy gloom over their home and fireside. She was a member of the M. E. church at Shiloh. She was an untiring Christian worker and left both a living and dying testimonal. Often during her last illness she would speak of going home and of the beautiful place over there saying she had not crossed the river but soon would. Her suffering was great yet her triumph was complete. She met death with a peaceful smile and died with her mother's name upon her lips.

Obituary – The Salem Leader or The Salem Democrat; after November 16, 1938:

ADDISON EMMET CAUBLE

Addison Emmet Cauble, son of Adam W. and Sarah (King) Cauble was born September 23, 1866 on the farm where he spent his entire life.

He departed this life at the home of his brother, Jason Cauble, after a short illness of only ten days, November 16, 1938 at the age of 72 years, 1 month and 13 days.

Emmet was one of a family of eleven children, 9 boys and 2 girls.

Six brothers and one sister have answered the great call; leaving three brothers, Elwood G. of California, Claudius W. and Jason R. of Salem and one sister, Mrs. Ed Zink, Denver, Colorado.

He received his education at the old “Cedar Hill” school that stood on the corner of his old homestead on land donated by his father for school purposes. He worked on the farm and in the immediate neighborhood all his life.

While a young man he joined the Methodist church at Highland during the preaching of Rev. J. N. Blue and retained this membership as long as he lived.

After the parents had passed to their reward, rather than see the old home abandoned, Emmett and some of his brothers lived in the home quite a while; and when the home was sold he became the owner and held it until his death.

On September 18,1900 he was united in marriage to Sarah M. Dawalt who served in this home as a loving companion until November 28, 1909. She was taken and he again was left to battle life alone, which he did until death.

Emmet was a real farmer and was always found at home and on the job. He loved his work and was delighted to see nature produce the crops he planted.

His real worth as a neighbor was felt in the silo ring, the schredding gang or the threshing job as well as all other activities in the neighborhood. He was waiting to help when the call came.

Emmet always said that a man’s own life was his best and truest obituary and so thinks the writer. What more could be said of our good brother and active neighbor? Who will fill his place in the Highland neighborhood?

He leaves the three brothers, the only sister, a host of nephews and nieces and many other relatives and friends to mourn his passing. A highly respected citizen has been taken.

The clock of time is wound but once

And no man has the power

To tell just when the hands will stop,

At late or early hour.

Now is the only time you own

Live, love, toil with a will

Place no faith in tomorrow

For the clock may then be still.

The funeral was held at the home of Jason Cauble and wife Saturday morning at 10:30 o’clock conducted by the Rev. W. Cain and Oliver Trueblood. Burial was in Crown Hill by the side of his wife. W.A.C.

The brief life of twenty-seven years was brought to a close by the Great Summons to the mysterious bourne, “where drop the still dews of quietness.”

A part of his early life was spent on the farm, but he was an engineer of ability, having worked in that capacity in and around Salem for years.

When almost a boy he had charge of a traction engine, spent some time on the railroad, was employed by the Salem Milling Company for quite a while and in recent years became an expert chauffeur and as such, his services were much in demand.

He was married to Miss Nellie Whitson, October 3, 1908, and to this union were born two children, Kenneth and Raymond. He is survived by his two sons, his wife, mother and three sisters.

The funeral service was held at Franklin church, conducted by Rev. M. M. Carmichael, of Little York, Ind. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery.
