  • Notes 
    • From Find a Grave:
      From "Reformed Presbyterian Ministers 1950-1993":

      Cloyd Erskine Caskey was born 17 Dec 1897 in Clarinda, Iowa to Joseph Fleming Caskey and Mary Jane (Andrews) Caskey.
      Cloyd attended Cooper College, Washburn University, and the Reformed Presbyterian (RP) Seminary in Allegheny, PA before being ordained 22 Jun 1922. He first served at the Cache Creek Mission in Apache, Oklahoma.

      He married Mabel Pauline Braum on 28 May 1924. The couple moved to Nicosia, Cyprus where Rev. Caskey served as the only RP minister on the island. They had 3 sons while on Cyprus: Joseph in 1925 and twins Kenneth and Carroll in 1928.

      The family returned to America in 1939. Rev. Caskey was assigned to churches in Erskine, Kansas; Fresno, California; and Olathe, Kansas. He later received a Doctorate from a seminary in New York. Caskey was also a Seminary instructor and a member of numerous Synod boards and committees.

      His wife Mabel died in 1942. In 1944, Rev. Caskey married Frances Georgia McKie. The couple had one daughter, Jean Louis Caskey.

      Rev. Caskey retired in 1972.
