Death of Josiah Cave

Josiah Cave, and old timer of the Payette Valley, died Wednesday March 20, at 
Middleton, at the age of 76 years. He was one of the earliest pioneers of 
Idaho City, where he was in business for many years. From there he moved to 
Falk’s Store and remained for nine years, having conducted the post office and 
store at that place. For the last four years he was postmaster and engaged in 
mercantile business in Middleton, during which time he had won the esteem of 
all who knew him. During his career he was twice elected and twice defeated on 
the Democratic ticket for the legislature. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Clara 
Arrasmith Cave, who has but one relative in this part of the country, a 
nephew, C. C. Arrasmith of Boise. Mr. Cave is survived by two brothers, one in 
Montana and one in California. 

Mr. Cave, shortly prior to his last illness, had been preparing a series of 
interesting “Recollections of Early Days In Idaho.” The few numbers which have 
been given to the public through the columns of the Middleton Herald were well 
received.

Additional Comments:
Note:  Josiah Cave is buried at Middleton Cemetery, Middleton, Canyon County, 
Idaho.
