Lake Odessa Wave - Times Fri. April 13, 1934

PASSED AWAY SUNDAY AFTER LONG ILLNESS
Edward Cave Resident of this Vicinity More Than Half Century. Many Years 
Employed by L.O. Canning Co.

Edward Cave, who has been in poor health for several months past, died at his 
home on Tupper Lake street early Sunday evening.

Mr. Cave, who was nearly sixty-three years old, has resided in this vicinity 
more than fifty-eight years, his parents having moved  here from northern Ohio 
and settled at the site of the Bipple farm, three miles north of town in 1875. 
Twenty-four years ago they moved into town and have lived here since.

Mr. Cave was one of the oldest men, in point of service, at the Lake Odessa 
canning company plant, he having helped to get the building in order and to set 
the machinery. At one time he was shipping clerk there but later years has 
worked in the plant as a millwright.

Rev. G.J. conducted funeral services which were held Wednesday afternoon in the 
home. Messrs. Merlin Morgan, Leon Gilson, George Kart, William Chipchase and 
Morley Hough furnished the music. Interment was in Lakeside cemetery.

The loss of Mr. Cave marks the passing of a wonderful man, a good neighbor, and 
patriotic citizen.
