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.

| 2962 | Obituary from Find a Grave and Kim Thompson: The Morning Sun News-Herald. Mrs. Catharine McElhinney-Baird was born near Londonderry, Ireland, August 10th, 1822. She departed this life April 14th, 1900. When about 3 years old she came with her parents to the United States, and after residing a series of years In Pennsylvania and New York; emigrated to Iowa, with the rest of the family, where they arrived April 15, 1840. She lacked a single day of having lived in [outside?] the state 60 years. She was married to John Baird in Philadelphia, March 12, 1840. Mr. Baird's death occurred on July 4th, 1881, so that she lived in widowhood almost 19 years. She was in the truest sense of the word a mother. Five sons and six daughters live to mourn her death. One child died in early life. Her grandchildren number 29, and her great-grandchildren, 3. She was eminently practical in all her life work. "She managed her affairs with discretion." She loved her church devoutly, and understood the principles upon which It stood. She attended church when it cost her much effort, and when she felt unable to go any other place. During her last illness, her mind was unusually clear; her anticipation of the approaching end was with a quiet faith, a comfortable hope, a well grounded assurance. In herself she saw nothing on which to depend. In Jesus Christ she saw all that her soul desired. Her end came painlessly and peacefully, like the light of the morning-star that does not set but melts away into the clearer light of the eternal day. "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright for the end of that man is peace." The funeral was attended by a vast concourse of people and among the mourners were a large number of early settlers. We note year by year how their number is being diminished. The emigrants are again emigrating -- this time to a land where infirmities of age, and sickness, and sorrow, and separation are words unknown. May their posterity be as true to the right and as loyal to duty as the fathers and mothers were. "Show thy work unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children." | McElhinney, Catherine (I657)

| 2989 | Orville J. Dochterman, 93, of Burlington, died at 4:25 AM Tuesday, October 29, 2013, at the Great River Hospice House in West Burlington. It is with deep sadness to announce the passing on of a dear gentle man, father, son husband, and friend. Orville J. Dochterman (Doc) was born on May 7, 1920 to Chester Orville and Daisy Sylvia Kay Dochterman in Fort Madison, Iowa and later became the big brother to Marjorie Marie Elifriz. The family moved to Burlington, Iowa in the mid 1920s. When he was nine years old he began spending summers on his grandparents, Frank and Mary Belle Anthony Dochterman farm near Ashton, Missouri. Using mules to till the land, it was there he learned the hard work of a farmer and the determination needed to help survive the "Great Depression." During his stay on the farm he learned to be a master gardener, skills which in later life were used to feed his large family. He started his school years at the old Salter School and was in the first graduating class of the Horace Mann Junior High School, where he put his name along with some of his buddies in the crawl space near the furnace in the basement. By 1936, the "Great Depression" had affected his home life as it did all over this nation. While attending high school, he was forced to work full time at the glove factory to help support his family. He graduated from Burlington High School in 1938, lettering in football and track. On January 21, 1940, he married his high school sweetheart, Catherine "Katie" Louise Daly, daughter of Michael and Rose Daly, in Kirksville, Missouri. Prior to the start of World War II, he was employed at the CB&Q Railroad at the West Burlington Shops. In 1944 as a father of two, "Doc" was drafted into the Navy Serving as a Moto Machinist Mate in the Pacific Theater onboard the USS Santa Fe. He was awarded the World War II, American Campaign, and Asiatic Pacific and Japan Occupation medals. His ship was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for the assistance for the sinking of the USS Franklin while under kamikaze attach during combat operations off the coast of Japan. At the end of World War II he was discharged, returned to Burlington, Iowa to his family and his job at the CB&Q Railroad as a machinist for the next 40 years, retiring in 1980. He enjoyed his weekly bowling league and in 1959/60 won the city league championship. He was a life long member of the IAM/Aerospace union serving as treasure of his local for many years. Catherine "Katie" Daly Dochterman passed away May 22, 1976. On October 2, 1976, Orville married Phila Davis Dawson and they spent 27 years together volunteering for the state of Iowa VIP program. They volunteered 3350 hours until Phila passed away in September 25, 2003. He was preceded in death by his wives, Catherine and Phila, his parents, his sister, son-in-law, Larry Jones, step son-in-law Don Schulz; brothers-in-law, William Daly, Floyd Griffith, Robert Barton, and William Cahill; and sisters-in-law Elizabeth Griffith, Joyce Daly and Eva Daly. Orville lived his life as a believer in Jesus Christ as his savior. We will always remember and be grateful that we were part of his life. As he would say, "there is nothing more important than believing that Jesus Christ is your Savior." He would repeat again and again, "there is nothing that matters more than your Salvation." | Dochterman, Orville J. (I666)

| 2996 | P.B. Molloy was born in Tazwell Co. Va. Feb. 16, 1838, died Nov. 25, 1910. His ancestors were among the early settlers of that state. His father emigrated to Mo. in 1840 and settled in Linn County where the subject of this sketch was reared. His boyhood was present in those hearty pioneer pursuits characteristic of that peculiar period of Missouri's development. He did not have the opportunities offered by the free school system of today and he had reached the age of 20 years before he learned to read. At that age he was seized with an irresistible desire to secure an education, and at odd times and spare moments he soon mastered the necessary elements. Being possessed of a strong analytic mind he turned his attention to law and literature. He ran swiftly in the ways of knowledge, and in 1872 was admitted to the Linn Co. Bar as a practicing attorney. He was married to Mary J. Phillips of Linn Co. Mo. Oct. 28, 1858. Of this union ten children were born, five boys and five girls all of whom survive him, Millie Gooch, Agra, Oklahoma, J.D. Molloy, Chula Mo., W.L. Molloy, Ripley Oklahoma, A.F. Molloy Alpha Mo., Mrs. G.M. Hayes, Agra, Okla., O.S. Molloy, Hitchita, Okla., F. P. Molloy, Reasons, Okla., Mrs. N.M. Stanley, Agra Okla., Mrs. J. Grindstaff, Glencoe, Okla., and Mrs. B.L. Mattocks, Agra, Okla. his wife having died May 21, 1897. He emigrated to Oklahoma in November 1891 and settled 1 1/2 mi. north-west of Agra and has resided in this county since that date. In his prime he was a physical giant, possessed a fearless disposition and in his relation with his fellow man was most amiable, frank and open hearted, sympathizing always with the poor oppressed, or distressed, and much of his time and means have been given freely for the benefit of those whom he deemed worthy of this the highest office of the citizen. As a father his influence was always for the upbuilding of his family, both morally ad intellectually. He was greatly beloved by his children, and his passing leaves a sorrow deep and solemn, but 'tis not a hopeless sorrow, for as we are assured "That in as much as ye did it unto me, " We feel that his life, his aims, and his desires will meet with the commendation of his Creator and that mankind would be infinitely benefitted in the emulation of his many virtues. "It is not death to die To leave this weary road And midst the brotherhood on high to be at home with God It is not death to fling Aside this sinful dust And rise on strong exulting wings to live among the just. He was laid to rest in the Oak Dale Cemetery. Queen City Times, Agra, Oklahoma. Thursday, 9 December 1910, page 10. | Molloy, Powhattan Bolen (I156)

Wm Parker married Miss Agnes D. Wright, Aug. 28, 1862. Three children were born to this union, Sylvester W. Parker, who resides at Cornucopia, Oregon, Emily D. Carter resides at Scranton, Kansas, and Agnes E.J. Porter resides Fort Covington, N.Y. There remains five children in all and the bereaved widow and mother to mourn. Brother Parker was a remarkable man, and notwithstanding his advanced age, he was active in the pastorate of the Baptist church in Valley Center to within a few day of his death. While much of his life was spent as a teacher, yet his ministry covered a period of 40 years. His was a life characterized by great thoroughness, heroic devotion and noble self sacrifice. In spirit he was loving and sympathetic, possessing a broad and cultivated mind. In a true sense he held the faith and preached in the spirit of his master. Like some giant of the forest that had withstood many storms and had seen many of his fellow co workers cut down, he remained steadfast and happy in the out look. Bro Parker will be deeply missed not only by his loved ones, but also by the Baptist church and many friends in this community where he has labored so faithfully to promote the prosperity and spirituality of the church of his choice. Of such it can be said "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord for they rest from their labors and works do follow them." Funeral services were held in the Baptist church at Valley Center, the sermon was preached by Rev. W.H. Manary of the M.P. Church from the text John 14:19. Rev. W.M. Harkness pastor of the M.E. Church at this place assisting. Services were also held in the Baptist church at Clearwater, a former pastorate of the deceased. In charge of the Baptist church. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Wm Harkness from the text Rev.2-10 and the remains were laid to rest in Clearwater cemetery - and who shall bear the mantel of this fallen hero of God?
