Wagoner, Oklahoma newspaper; 6/26/1913
Close of a Blameless Life

The whole city was greatly shocked on Monday by the announcement of the death of Mr.
H. V. Cain, which occurred at 10:20 that morning.  Mr. Cain was operated on Saturday
for appendicitis but on account of the operation having been delayed so long, the
appendix had burst and notwithstanding the fact that the finest surgical skill was
employed and all that loving hands could do was done, he lost a brave fight for
life.

Hurlbut Vincent Cain was born in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, December 26, 1890. 
He received his early training in the schools of that county.  He attended the
Western Kentucky State Normal at Bowling Green, taking a B. S. degree from that
institution.  After teaching a year, he returned to Bowling Green where he graduated
in shorthand in the Bowling Green Business University.  In May 1911 he resigned a
position with the Mississippi & Yazoo Valley Railroad at Greenwood, Miss., to accept
a position in the law offices of J. S. Dickey, Jr., in this city, where he remained
till a few weeks since when, without any solicitation on his part, he was appointed
deputy clerk of the County Court, which position he held at the time of his death.

Mr. Cain was a consistent member of the South Methodist Church and was one of the
stewards in that church; he was also treasurer of the Sunday School and an active
member of the Epworth League.

Those who knew Mr. Cain best loved him most.  In his every action he was a
gentleman.  In speech he was always kind and considerate.  He was a loyal, true
friend and his great delight was to be of service to his friends.  His was one of
the brightest minds in the city.  He had quite a great deal of literary ability and
was a strong, forceful speaker.  Above all, he was an earnest, devoted Christian who
lived every day right up to those principles which he knew to be right.  His life
was pure and an inspiration to all who knew him.

The funeral services occurred Monday night at the residence of Mrs. W. H. Harlan,
where he had made his home for over a year.  Dr. Brewer, of the Methodist church,
conducted the services and pronounced a beautiful eulogy over the remains of this
young man of whom he said, "he had no superior in the whole city."

In his death, not only his friends and relatives suffer a loss, but the whole city
sustains a loss in the death of Mr. Cain.

He is survived by two sisters and brothers - Miss Florence Cain, Louisville,
Kentucky; Miss Beverley Cain, Kansas City, Mo.; Dr. W. T. Cain, Underwood, North
Dakota, and Mr. R. J. Cain, Irvington, Kentucky.
