Somerset Press Sept. 23, 1880

Died, on Wednesday evening, Sept 15, 1880, Mrs. Caroline C. Caine, wife of Mrs 
Isaiah Cain, aged 56 years, 6 months and 8 days. She was the mother of ten 
children, two daughters and eight sons.  One daughter and three sons preceded 
her to 'the house appointed for all the living." She was a devoted and loving 
wife, a kind neighbor and friend, the idol of her household, andloved and 
respected by all who knew her.  Heavy and grievous to be borne is the hand 
Affliction laid upon the surviving husband and children. May the angels of Hope 
and Peace pour the oil of consolation into their troubled hearts,  and may they 
find comfort in the knowledge that she, whom they loved and who loved them so 
well, 
"Has gone to dwell at last, In the House Beautiful."
  Mrs. Caroline c. Caine, the subject of this sketch, was far above the 
ordinary.  She possessed many beautiful and admirable traits of character.  In 
her Christian life she was constant and under all circumstances, consistent.  
With the strongest domestic and maternal instincts she was enabled to make her 
home the happiest spot on earth for its members; indeed, her great ambition 
seemed to be to do her duty in this respect, and well she succeeded.  Humble 
and unassuming, she taught, by her good life, a lesson that was profitable to 
all that were brought under its  influence. Possible the most marked feature in 
her excellent character was her patriotism. The interest she always felt in the 
affairs and condition of her country were only broken by death. This devotion 
to country was subjected ot the severest trial, when she consented to give up 
her three sons, John L., Henry B., and Alex. C, during the late war, to defend 
the land she loved. No Spartan mother could have made a greater sacrifice. As 
life was fast ebbing away this characteristic trait was as strong as ever. A 
few hours before her death, fully aware of the approaching end, she exhorted 
her sons "To be true to their country and their God"  And thus departed a 
consistent Christian, a devoted wife and mother.

Somerset Press article on Sept 30, 1880:  'Sam Campbell and wife arrived here 
on Frinday evening last. They were telegraphed the death of Mrs. Cain, but 
received the sad intelligence too late to reach here in time for the funeral."
