Mabel Pauline Braum, daughter of Bently McLeod and Berth McDonald Braum, was born in Denison, Kansas, February 9, 1900, and died at the home of her parents in Denison, Kansas at the age of 42 years, 7 months, and 8 days.
As a child she attended the schools of her community, graduated from Denison Rural High School in 1918, and afterward she attended Washburn College in Topeka and the Biblical Seminary of New York. At the age of twelve she united with the Denison Reformed Presbyterian church under the ministry of the Rev. D.H. Elliott and was always active in church work. She taught school successfully at Cedar Center, Adrian, and in Seneca, Kansas, grade schools.
On May 28, 1924, she was united in marriage to the Rev. Cloyd Erskine Caskey of Sterling, Kansas, and worked with him a short time at the Cache Creek Indian Mission of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in Apache, Oklahoma. After a course in Bible School she went with her husband as a missionary to the Island of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean, arriving there on February 14, 1925, and continued in that work for a little over fourteen years. Her missionary work was many sided and included teaching in the American Academy for Girls in Nicosia, Cyprus. On account of the war in the Near East it was not possible to return to Cyprus and she and her husband took up work in Eskridge, Kansas, and then in Blanchard, Iowa, her home at the time of her death.
She was the mother of three sons, Joseph McLeod, Kenneth Cloyd, and Carroll Edwin, who survive here and one daughter, who died in infancy. Besides her three sons, she leaves her husband, her parents, one brother, Hugh Braum, of Topeka, Kansas, and two sisters, Mrs. Ruth King of Denison, Kansas, and Mrs. Mary Longnecker of Birmingham, Kansas, who mourn her death, and feel as do many others, that life can never be quite the same without her.
Funeral was held Monday, September 21, in the R.P. church with Rev. T.M. Hutcheson in charge, assisted by the Rev. Taggart, Rev. A.J. McFarland and Rev. Paul McCracken of Topeka and Rev. D. Howard Elliott of Winchester. Burial was in the North Denison cemetery. – Valley Falls Vindicator.
