DEATH OF WILLIAM H. CAIN.

Life Ends For Valuable Citizen Of Bewleyville at Old Age.

Bewleyville, Ky., Sept. 12. - Special.
William H. Cain was born in Bedford county, Va., May 2, 1822. and died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. W. W. Keith, in Bewleyville, September 5.  He was sixteen
years old when his father removed to Kentucky.  He began business as a farmer for
himself, when he was twenty-one.  He was twice married:  September 21, 1843, to Miss
Mary Hardaway, who died October 29, 1850; and, March 11, 1852, to Miss Catherine
Hardaway, sister of his former wife.  Seven of his ten children are living, all near
his old home except Mrs. D. S. Campbell, who lives near Russelville.

Mr. Cain's education was limited but, having been a constant reader, he was well
informed in matter of church and state and current topics.

Mr. Cain was kind, consistent, upright and honorable as a citizen, and was a zealous
temperance man.  He was early converted to Christianity and it was his earnest
endeavor throughout life to be prepared to enter a better life when this one ceased.
 No man was ever more faithful in the discharge of known duty.  Four years ago Rev.
Mell held jubilee services in commemoration of the fact that he had been classleader
for Bewleyville Society uninterinptedly for fifty years.  The even was one long to
be remembered and the honor tendered to him was well deserved.

The funeral services were conducted at Bewleywille church, by his pastor, Rev.
Hynes, who read for his text 2nd. Samuel 3:38, and then made an excellent comment on
his life.  A large crowd attended the funeral services and the burial at the old
family graveyard near Mr. Blanford's.  There he was laid to rest among many whom he
had loved in this life.
