    Obituary
    Arthur George Caskey was born near Clarinda, Page county, Iowa, December 4, 1876, and passed away Monday morning July 2, 1934, at the age of 57 years, six months and 28 day.
    Mr. Caskey spent his early childhood on the farm completing the grad school, after which he attended Amity college for two years, at College Springs six miles south of the old home.
    He united with the Clarinda congregation of the Reformed Presbyterian church in early manhood. Coming to Oklahoma in 1901 his membership was transferred to the Billings congregation.
    He engaged for a short time in the draying business in Billings giving this up to take charge of the North Valley school which he taught for two and one-half years. He continued to teach in Noble and Garfield counties for several years. In the fall of 1905 he took a homestead in Beaver county.
    He was united in marriage on June 24, 1908, to Caroline Klufa to which union six children were born, one dying in infancy. After marriage they made their home on the homestead in Beaver county where he continued to teach school and farm. Leaving Beaver county in 1914 he moved to Helena where he operated a flour mill for six years. In 1920 he moved to Enid and from there to North Enid in 1921 where he resided until his death.
    He was continually engaged in church work wherever located, being superintendent of the Sunday school six years while in Helena.
    He became afflicted with mastoid infection in1920 which inflicted severe suffering. He underwent three operations for this trouble which left him in a weakened condition, from which he never fully recovered.
    In this affliction he did not complain, leaving all to the Heavenly Father in whom he was taught to trust in childhood. We who are left know that we mourn not as those who have no hope and let us pray that we may be as well prepared as he to meet our Creator when the summons comes.
    Besides the widow of the home he leaves five children, Ruth, Eugene, Thelma, Lorene and Lawrence to mourn his loss.
    Father and mother, one brother and one sister preceded him in death. He is survived by five brother and four sisters located as follows: S.J. Caskey of Enid, Mrs. Rose Hensley of Ft. Morgan, Colo., Mrs. B.C. Terry of Ocou, Fla., C.J. Caskey of Independence, Kans., Mrs. Edith Bellmon of Billings, J.A. Caskey of Fairview, Albert Caskey of Ponca City, Glen Caskey of Wellington, Kans., and Mrs. Beth Zimmerman of Billings.
    Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.W. Strauss of Jefferson, assisted by Rev. J.N. Sours, of Enid. Burial was in Billings cemetery.

    Obituary of I.B. Caskey
    Isaac Beniah Caskey was born in Green county, Alabama, December 23, 1948, and died at his home three miles east of Billings, Saturday, February 26, 1910, at the age of 62 years, 2 months and 3 days, of a complication of troubles.
    When he was but two years of age his parents moved to Cook county, Illinois, where they lived for seven years. They then moved to Clarinda, Iowa, where Mr. Caskey grew to manhood, and at the age of twenty-four years was united in marriage to Nancy E. Andrews. To them were born thirteen children; eight sons and five daughters, all of whom are living except one son who died in infancy. Those living are Samuel J. and George A. of Beaver, Oklahoma; Mrs. A.W. Hensleigh of Superior, Nebraska; Mrs. M.A. Black of Idana, Kansas; Mrs. B.C. Terry of Billings; Edith E., Clyde J., William I., Joseph A., Albert B., Glenn J. and Beth J., all at home.
    Mr. Caskey moved to Oklahoma in 1901 from Clarinda, Iowa, and purchased a farm miles west of Billings, where he resided several months, when he purchased and moved onto the farm that has since been his home.
    In these nine years of residence here he grew into a wide acquaintance, as evidenced by the large gathering of friends at the time of his burial on last Tuesday afternoon. To know Mr. Caskey was to appreciate his worth as a man.
    At the age of twenty-five he was chosen as an elder in the Reformed Presbyterian church of Clarinda, Iowa, of which he became a member in early youth. In 1904 he was chosen elder of the R.P. church of Billings, in which relationship he continued till death. All mourn his departure but “his works do follow him” and that blessing will continue to be enjoyed by his church and the community.
    The sympathy of a host of friends goes out to the sorrowing ones.

    Notes:

    Biographical History of Page County, Iowa, Lewis & Dunbar Publishers, 113 Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois, 1890

    JAMES CASKEY.—Page County is not behind other counties in the State of Iowa in its indebtedness to the beautiful " Emerald Isle," which has given up so many of her sons and daughters to the settlement of the New World. Prominent among this number is James Caskey, who was born in county Londonderry, Ireland, July 17, 1802. He is a son of John and Ann (Dun) Caskey, and during his youth assisted his father in his flax-mill, and worked at farming. He remained in his native land until 1828, when he set sail for America; after landing he remained in Philadelphia for a few months, and then went to Mobile, Alabama, afterward locating on a farm in Greene County, Alabama.
    Mr. Caskey was married January 29 1829, to Catherine Mawhinney, a daughter of Alexander and Jane (Dunn) Mawhinney, natives of county Londonderry, Ireland, who emigrated to America in 1820. Catherine is the second child of a family of eight; she was born in county Londonderry, Ireland, October 29, 1806. After they were married they lived on the farm in Greene County, where they continued to reside until 1852, when they removed to Cook County, Illinois; when living in this county Mr. Caskey shipped the first corn to Chicago that was transported on the Illinois Central Railroad. In October, 1856, the family landed in Page County, Iowa, where they have since made their home. In making the journey they first went to St. Louis by rail, thence by boat to St. Joseph, Missouri, and the remainder of the way in wagons. Mr. Caskey entered his farm, which consisted of 160 acres, from the Government; it was wild land without any improvements; he erected a building 16x24 feet, and when finally they were housed in this comfortable dwelling a happier or more contented family could not have been found in Page County. It was not a life of luxury or ease, which they led for many years to come, but one of industry and continued effort; the trials and privations of pioneer life were met unflinchingly, and every exertion was made to add to the prosperity of the family and community. The growth and development of the county has been largely forwarded by Mr. Caskey.
    In those days neighbors were few, but the social qualities were cultivated none the less. In the lack of a house of worship our esteemed subject opened his own dwelling, where the settlers for miles around met for religious service. The first communion was administered by the Rev. Joseph McCracken of the Reformed Presbyterian Church; he was the first regular pastor employed by the society. Mr. Caskey and his family have ever been active workers in the cause of their Master, and have thus contributed to the advancement of the community.
    Ten children have been born to Mr. Caskey and wife: John died while in the service of his country, being a member of the Filth Iowa Cavalry, Company C. He passed away at Paducah, Kentucky, his death being caused by disease contracted at Ft. Donelson; Jane, the widow of William Brown, deceased, and her two daughters are still living on their farm in Harlan Township; Alexander died in July, 1889; William died in Illinois; James M. is a farmer, residing in Harlan Township; [page 671] Mary Ann is at home; Sampson died while in the service at Florence, South Carolina, January 13, 1865, having served three years; he was a member of the Fifth Iowa Cavalry, and was a prisoner in the Confederate army at the time of his death; Robert G. resides on a farm in Harlan Township; Joseph F. lives on the old homestead, and Isaac B., who larms in Harlan Township.
    Joseph F. and Mary Ann are living with their aged parents, caring for them as only a son and daughter can do; they cheerfully per form this filial duty, and have the esteem and respect of the whole neighborhood.
    While residing in the South Mr. Caskey was opposed to slave-holding, and always advocated its abolition.
