Rev. James Ashby Cave, son of Rev. Henry Cave, died at his home in Dark Hollow, Monday morning, July 13, at 3 a.m.
He had been in declining health for many years but able to attend to his work until about three months ago. He suffered an attack of flu which developed into asthma which was the cause of his death. He was 64 years, 5 months and 10 days old.
He was a wonderful character, upholding God's righteousness and up building His kingdom. He and the writer being co-workers in the ministry for years. He never attended a school in his life but when I found a passage of Scripture that I could not understand I always went to him and every time he would give me a satisfactory explanation. He will be greatly missed in the mountains where he was a member of the Methodist church for thirty years. He began to preach soon after he became a church member.
His funeral was conducted by Rev. W.J. Craddock, at Dark Hollow Methodist church, at 2 p.m.
There survives him his wife, who before marriage was a Miss Colvin; and six children: Walter and Oscar at home, Elzy, who lives on the Gander place, Mrs. Walter Meadows, Mrs. Elmer Breeden and Mrs. Walker Jenkins.
