The following article/obituary is from the December 26, 1929, issue of The Mountain Eagle:
Two Young Men Dangerously Hurt
While enroute to Danville and when near Science Hill, the car in which Dennis and Hubert Caudill, young sons of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Caudill of Blackey, were driving was hit by an L. & N. train and completely demolished. Both young men were dangerously hurt. Dennis, near twenty-five, has a fractured skull and several broken ribs. Hubert, twenty-one, has a broken leg and other injuries. The boys had been students of Centre College and bright young men.
The young men were immediately taken to a hospital at Somerset where the best medical attention possible was given. From the very first physicians said there was only slight hope for the recovery of the oldest of the two young men. This hope finally faded and on Tuesday morning he passed away.
On tomorrow at 11 a.m. the remains of this young man in the presence of hundreds of relatives and friends will be intered in the family cemetery at Blackey. The memorial services will be conducted by Revs. Cockerham, of the Presbyterian Church; Petrey, of the Missionary Baptist Church; and Jas. T. Whitaker, of the Regular Baptist Church. Active pallbearers will be Centre College school friends and other young friends of Blackey. These will be Fred Caudill, Ed Adams, Kermit Beams, Kelley Deaton, Wm. J. Ewen, Archie Caudill, Curtis Caudill and Foster Stamper; honorary, Watson G. Caudill, Tom Piersall, Hassel Stamper, Keller Whitaker, Wm. Piersall, Marcus Adams, Ed Weddle, Earl Kelley, Homer Kelley, Earl Day, Bernard Ison, Bruce Howard, Homer Nerkirk, Devaughn Pratt, Arvin Kelley, J. R. Meek, Sol Feld, Geo. R. Coe, Bill Gray and Speck Clark.
Whitesburg, and especially the Eagle household, knew well, loved and admired Dennis Caudill. Wherever he went he was the joy, the light, the super-intelligence of those with whom he associated. His was a high and noble intelligence and we doubt whether we ever knew and conversed with a keener intellect.
In his loss an excellent family circle is broken, the hearts of fond parents are chilled, admiring brothers and sisters look with tearful eyes through a dark glass and, oh, may the blessings of a divine hand comfort and cheer these. Dennis leaves a host of loved and loyal playmates and friends who will long hold his memory green. With all these, the Eagle with his family and hundreds of friends, we believe, join in extending every kind and order of sympathy.
We might add further here that Dennis this year was teaching near the home of his parents at Blackey in anticipation of finishing his collegiate course at Danville next spring. Upon finishing his course at Centre, he had looked forward to entering upon the study of medicine.

Word Of Thanks
To our many friends of Hazard, Whitesburg, Blackey, Somerset, Lexington, etc., we desire to extend to all our sincere thanks for the kindness shown us and the sympathy manifested on account of the injury, death and burial of our dear son, Denys. He was a manly son, the joy and pride of our lives and home. He was admired by all who knew him. Denys had a host of friends all over the state and we want to thank those who sent words of sympathy from Louisville, Atlanta, ??? and other cities. We also Wish to express a word of appreciation for the beautiful floral offerings, the doctors and nurses of Somerset for their kindness and faithfulness.
May God bless each and everyone of you and spare you of such a sad shock as we have had. Again thanking all for their sympathy and kindness, we are,
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Caudill and family.
Blackey, Ky.
