Notes - 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.
