Dr. Cain had suffered slightly from a severe cold on Thanksgiving Day but Saturday evening enjoyed his usual health. As was his custom, he arose Sunday morning at 6:30 o'clock and went to the first floor of the home to prepare the fires. After starting them and carrying coal, he sat down in the sun parlor before a fire to read The Life Of Thomas Jefferson before arousing his wife. Mrs. Cain went to the first floor about 7:40 o'clock and was shocked to find her husband's lifeless body lying upon a coal bucket in front of the fire. She ran to the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Cain-Scott, nearby and then assisted by Mr. and Mrs. Scott made every effort to revive Dr. Cain previous to the arrival of physicians. Coroner C. Bates was summoned and attributed the cause of death to heart trouble. It was apparent that Dr. Cain had suffered an attack while seated in his easy chair and pitched forward, his face striking the coal bucket slightly bruising the forehead. Dr. Cain was born November 9th, 1850, at Carlisle, Noble County, and was the son of Dr. Richard and Adelia Cain. His parents died when he was a child. He received his early education in Noble County and for a time attended a school taught by the late John M. Amos with whom he retained a life-long friendship. At the age of eighteen he entered Cincinnati Medical College and after graduating took up his practice in Senecaville. After practicing for 20 years he took a post graduate course in Starling Medical college of Columbus and in 1892 located in Cambridge. Dr. Cain was a kind and loving husband and father and spent all his leisure time at home. Through his administration of treatment and relief to the poor and needy, he became one of the most widely known practicing physicians in Cambridge and partially undermined his health in making night calls to all parts of the county. He was a lover of children and never failed to talk with all boys and girls who had been under his care upon meeting them on the streets and became a favorite among the children of Cambridge. He never failed to administer relief to the suffering where his services were desired, and during the influenza epidemic in Guernsey County, devoted himself unsparingly to the insistent demands for physicians. One of his daily habits was to devote a portion of his time to his family. A lover of books, magazines and high class literature, he was probably one of the most thoroughly read and well posted citizens in Guernsey County and took an exceptional pride in being familiar with current events. He devoted at least two hours each day to reading, and his medical and home libraries were among the most complete in the city. On April 24, 1879, he was united in marriage with Miss Eliza Hatton of Senecaville, and to this happy union were born three children; Richard Howell Cain, who died in infancy, Mrs. Mary Cain-Scott of Mehaffey Court, and Mrs. Laura Cain-McCulloch of Hartford, Conn. His only sister died about seven years ago. The announcement of Dr. Cain's death was made early Sunday morning, the news spreading rapidly throughout the city and was a great shock not only the the members of his immediate family but to his many warm friends. Besides his widow, the deceased is survived by the two daughters and one grandchild, Stephen Albert Scott, city. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the late home, conducted by Rev. Edwin Kirby, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church. Burial will be make in Northwood Cemetery." Undated clipping from an unidentified newspaper.
