Brother and Sister Cagley were the first United Brethren to locate in the locality of Rose Hill. They were really the founders of the church at this place. Through their interest and effort the annual conference was entertained at the school house one mile northeast of the Rose Hill church. They located in 1865 on the farm a half mile southwest of the present church, on the farm now owned by Levi Cagley. Brother and Sister Cagley were charter members of the first U.

The older residents of Clarinda and vicinity will have a distinct and favorable recollection of Lu B. Cake, who was at one time a resident of this city, and who after he gave up his home here occasionally returned to visit. He particularly was a friend to the late Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hawley and their relatives in Clarinda. He became an author and entertainer of note and has appeared in Clarinda in one or more recitals. In the official list of Iowa authors his name appears as the writer of the poem, "Clarinda." In this city he had as his law partner, John Johnson, brother of Mrs. Donald Sutherland formerly of Clarinda, and of the late Mrs. W. I. Black, and ah uncle of Mrs. O. M. Cook of this city. Through the courtesy of Mrs. Herman Russell, daughter of Mrs. D. C. Chamberlain, whose parents were Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Hawley, The Journal has received the following clipping pertaining to the death of Mr. Cake, which took place at Afton, N. Y., Feb. 7, 1920, the clipping being from the Afton Enterprise :
"Last Saturday afternoon occurred the sudden death of one of Afton's best known citizens, Lu B. Cake, from acute indigestion. Mr. Cake had not been feeling well for some little time, but nevertheless had recently completed an engagement in the western part of the state. On his return he busied himself with his literary work, but had not felt sufficiently well to leave the house. The shock came at about 5 o'clock. He recovered consciousness, however, and realized that his hour had come to meet the God whom he served, and at 7:30 he peacefully passed to the Great Beyond.
Luther Burker Cake was born Oct. 25,1848, at McConnellsville, Ohio, being a son of Rev. Benj. T. F. Cake. His mother's maiden name was Harriet Fouts. When Lu B. was but three months old his mother died. His mother's parents, Andrew and Mary Fouts took him to their hearts and home and he remained with them until their death. Mr. Cake ascribed his legal trend of mind to an inherited characteristic of his mother's family, his grandmother, Mrs. Fouts, being a daughter of Judge Clark of Vermont.
On the death of his grandparents, he was taken to his parental home, at that time in Missouri, where he found an intelligent, loving step mother. Here on the large plantation, with its fine mansion and broad acres, he spent his boyhood, heard the negroes sing their plantation songs, and learned so well the spirit of their melodies that made him a master of their dialectic music which found outlet in many darkey songs composed by him in later years.
After a time the family moved to Iowa and Mr. Cake, then a young man, went to California where he taught school. He was urged to remain, but decided to take up the study of law. He returned to Iowa where he graduated from Tabor college and was admitted the bar, practicing in all the courts including the supreme court of that state, taking up his residence at Clarinda, Page county, where he lived for eleven years.
It was here while giving an entertainment under the auspices of a Chicago Lyceum Bureau that he met Miss Ella June Meade and later, Oct. 25, 1882, they were married. Calls came from numerous towns for her to visit them and recite her husband's poems and sketches that were appearing in the Cleveland Leader, St. Louis Republic, Chicago magazine and other publications. After a few years they took up their residence in Omaha, Neb., where Mr. Cake again entered the practice of law, also engaging in the real estate business. But in response to many calls he was induced to give up his business and law practice and devote his time to writing songs and poems and giving lectures and enter­tainments, Mr. and Mrs. Cake visiting in their tours fourteen states.
Leaving Omaha they came to New York city and established their office with Mr. H. Aplington, 90 West Broadway, which place has ever since been his business address.
As a lawyer, a business man, a poet, author and musician Mr. Cake held an enviable position. He made many contributions to various papers and magazines, was the author of a number of books, a number of plays, hundreds of poems and scores of songs. As a musician he was proficient on the piano, and guitar and the violin, and his repertiore of songs was remarkable.
Above all Mr. Cake was a Christian. In early life he became a member of the Baptist church at Clarinda, Iowa.
He was a deep thinker and investiga­tor on religious subjects and one of his most popular lectures was on the Ten Lost Tribes.
In his intercourse with his fellowmen, Mr. Cake was kindly and sociable and his friendship once given was genuine. Mr. and Mrs. Cake had made their home in Afton for the last eight years and he will be missed by the entire community.
Besides his sorrowing wife, he is survived by a sister, Mrs. Fannie Hughes, of Lathrop, Mo., and two brothers, Edgar and Ewart Cake of Geyserville, Calif.
The funeral will be held this (Thursday) afternoon from the Episcopal church in this village, Rev. Mr. J. Scovil officiating. Interment will be in Glenwood cemetery.

In the Page County History of 1880 appeared the following:
"Cake, Luther B., attorney at law, of the firm of Cake & Johnson, P. O. Clarinda. Is a native of Ohio. His mother dying when he was two months old, he was cared for by his grandmother until he began to care for himself. In 1866 he came to Clarinda, and attended school about one year. At this time he began teaching, and continued until 1872, when he entered Tabor college, Fremont county, where he remained two years, doubling the course. In 1874 he went to California, remaining one year, engaging in teaching. Returned to Clarinda in 1875, and began to read law with T. E. Clark, Esq. Was admitted to the bar by Judge Forney, in 1875, and entered at once upon the practice of his profession, forming his present partnership in the fall of the same year. Mr. Cake has written much for the press, and is the author of several fine poems, one of which, 'Decoration Day,' appears in this work, and speaks a language of its own. He is the author of several plays, and a local farce which was successfully presented by the Clarinda amateur club. He enlisted when 11 years of age, but his youth and small stature caused his rejection. He is a most companionable man, of excellent education, firm and strong in his conviction of right, an exemplary citizen, with the confidence and esteem of all who know him."

Last holiday season Mr. Cake sent to a Clarinda friend a poem he had written, entitled: "What Is Christmas to You?" above which he had written: "Happy New Year to all Clarinda." This was Mr. Cake's poem:
His coming meant joy to shepherds afield,
A wonderful glory filled sky; A chorus of singing angels revealed,
Come down from the heaven on high
First Christmas, all worlds hallelu! What does it mean now, to you?
From holies came holy ones down, To welcome and worship the Lord;
Wise men of the Orient saw his star, Brought gifts for the   One they "adored
Their homage and giving heart true, What means Christmas   now, to
you? God gave to the world the gift of His Son,
Birth promised to old Bethlehem; The Christ  of our Christmas, the Savior One, Gift great now to us, as to them. Our gifts and our love and our worship are due. Does Christmas mean all these to you?

Let into infinite rest, Heart that was wounded and torn,
Healed in the joy of the blest.

Mrs. Martha Calhoon, mother of Mrs. I. D. Christie, died early Tuesday morning, at the residence of the latter, with whom she had been making her home. Mrs. Calhoon was past 86 years of age, and her passing away was simply a case of going to sleep, as her daughter received no response to her call at the usual time to get up in the morning, and going to her mother's bedroom found she was sleeping her last sleep. Mrs. Calhoon was the daughter of Samuel Thompson, born in Ohio, Nov. 22nd, 1828. The funeral was held this week Thursday afternoon, at 2:30 from the I. D. Christie residence, services conducted by Rev. William H. Wilson, when all that remained of a good woman and a faithful, mother was laid to rest beside the grave of her husband in Clarinda cemetery.

Calhoon, Mary - Mary, wife  of David Calhoon, was born in Holmes county, Ohio, March 26, 1829, was married, May 31,1849.  Eight years after she and her husband came to Iowa and located on a farm in Buchanan township, Page county, twelve and one-half miles south-east of Clarinda.  At that time the township to which they  removed was for the most part, unbroken wilderness or trackless prairie.   The nearest neighbors were miles away, while hardships were many and comforts few.  There by persistent effort Mr, and Mrs, Calhoon made for themselves a splendid home and succeeded in making their farm one of the finest in that section.
To them were born ten children, of whom eight are living and were present at their mother's funeral, viz: Leander W, of Victor, Colo., Elizabeth Gray, Rockwell City, la,, Mary E, Van Swearengen, Holton, Kans., and Alma M. Beery, George N., Lewis J., James W., Eddie B , all living hear Shambaugh.
Mr. Calhoun died six years ago, the 13th of November and since then the subject of this sketch has lived in the old home with the love of children, and the respect of her neighbors, falling upon her like a benediction, thus, in life's mellow evening twilight she awaited the summons to depart to that "home not made with hands." Her health had been failing for two or three years, but it was only two weeks ago that she became seriously ill and rapidly declined until Monday, Nov. 26, when at 5 a. m., she fell into that dreamlesss sleep that we wrongfully call death.
In early life she united with the Presbyterian church, and lived true to that faith. Funeral services were held at the Pleasant Ridge church on Tuesday at 12 a. m., conducted by Rev. J. N. Maclean, of Clarinda. Interment in Clarinda Cemetery.

Beverly Junction is where the Burlington and the Rock Island lines cross each other.   At the time of the wreck, the Rock Island passenger train was   standing with one coach across the Burlington track, and when the latter train whistled the tender of the signal station signalled for the engineer to stop, but seeing that it would be impossible for him to stop the train in time to prevent a collision, he threw the derailing switch, and the engine with the baggage and mail car  ran off the end of the switch.    Mr. Callicotte made an effort to jump from danger, but as be jumped the engine rolled over catching him and crushing him beneath its awful weight. The engineer also jumped, but was saved.   The passenger coaches all remained on the track and no other persons were injured.    Mr. Callicotte leaves a widowed mother, four brothers, and six sisters. His father died about a year ago and was also in the employ of the Burlington road, as an engineer.

William Riley Callicotte, formerly of Clarinda, met his death in an accident in Denver, Colo., last Friday, March 18, 1921. The particulars as told in a report to daily newspapers follows:
"Denver, Colo., March 18.—W. R. Callicotte, former state fish and game commissioner and candidate for United States senator, was decapitated today when a runaway automobile crashed downhill into a street in the business section. Two other persons were fatally injured.
The automobile apaprently had been parked on Colfax avenue, near the state capitol, and in some manner the brakes had loosened. The car careened down Colfax into Broadway, crashing into a crowd crossing the street almost without warning. Callicotte's head was cut off by a wheel, and his body mangled.
The others injured were Loraine Burman, 14, and Mathilda Kleinan. The two injured persons were rushed to the county hospital.
After tearing through the crowd the: automobile crashed into a street car which was passing the intersection on Broadway. Persons in the car were thrown from their seats, but none was reported injured."
At the time of his death Mr. Callicotte was the superintendent of humane education for the state board of child and animal protection, with headquarters in the state house at Denver. He had held the office for several years.
He was   born   in   Indiana, near [---] a son of Mr. and Mrs.   J.   B.   Callicotte.   He was 72 years of age July 2, 1920.   The parents and children came from Indiana to Hawleyville, Page county, when Riley, as the subject of this sketch was well known, was 13 years of age.   He enlisted from Page county   and   served   for three [years] as a soldier in the Union army in the Civil war.  He participated in Sherman's march to the sea.
On his return from the war he said that he needed more education. He then attended the public school taught in Hawleyville by the late Dan J. DeLong, and afterward began teaching school himself in that place. For a number of years he taught school in the vicinity of Clarinda; he was county surveyor of Page county two or three terms. He taught in the Page county normal institutes when Prof. J. A. Woods was the county superintendent of schools. At one time he was principal for two years of the public school at College Springs. He went from College Springs to Colorado about forty years ago; was principal of the high school at Leadville six or seven years. "When principal of that school he was superintendent of a Sunday school there—probably the Methodist. He was a strong advocate of law and order in Leadville, and as such incurred the enmity of the lawless class. He was county superintendent of Pitkin county, Colo., for two years.
When about half of the population left Leadville for Aspen Mr. Callicotte went to" that new mining" town. He was principal of the public school at Aspen for six or seven years. He retired from school work at Aspen and went into other business.

Former   Clarinda   Resident Meets Sudden Death in Denver
W. R. Callicotte, a former Page County resident, met with sudden death in Denver, Colorado, on Fri-
day, March 18th, being run over by an automobile. Reports in the daily papers say his head was com-
pletely cut off, and his body otherwise injured. The car which did the damage, the newspaper reports
say, was standing near the capitol building in Denver, when the brakes loosened, starting the car on its
mad race down the hill. At a street crossing it struck a street car, then veered over into a crowd of
people, several of whom were injured, W. R. Callicotte among the number.                                      
A telegram received by his sister, Mrs. Charles Griffey, Monday morning advised her of the funeral being held Tuesday, in Denver, but Mrs. Griffey was unable to attend the funeral.
Forty years ago W. R. Callicotte was a resident of Page County, coming here when about thirteen years of age. He taught school in Hawleyville, where his folks lived, and for a time was principal of the schools in College Springs.

Is Killed by Automobile.
College Springs Current Press, Nov. 13: Mrs. E. M. Hunter received word last week of the death of her grandson, David Camp, who was crushed by an automobile in California. David and his wife were riding on their motorcycle on their way to visit his parents, when they met an automobile on a thirty-foot mountain road. The driver of the automobile seemed to lose his head and turned the car right onto Mr. and Mrs. Camp.   David was crushed so badly that he died shortly after reaching the hospital. His wife had three ribs broken and was badly bruised otherwise. Mr. Camp will be remembered by a number of College Springs people as he spent a year here with his grandmother while attending Amity college. CLARINDA JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 20, 1919

Camp, Thomas W.
Thomas Westcott Camp was born at Camden, New Jersey, July 3, 1831. He died in Clarinda Sunday morning at 10:45, after an illness of one week from pneumonia. He was the son of Ephraim Camp, a glass blower, and one of eight sons, all of whom followed the trade of the father except one. At Camden, Thomas learned the trade and worked at it there until about nineteen years of age when the family moved to Pittsburg, Pa., which was at that time, as yet, an important center of the glass industry. Here he met Miss Mary Ann Alexander and to her he was married on July 12, 1855. To this union two boys were born, William C. Camp, now a railroad man, of Ogden, Utah, and F. E. Camp, an actor, whose home is at Detroit, Mich., and who recently has been engaged with a stock company at Winnipeg, Canada. With this little family composed of himself, his wife and two boys, Mr. Camp came west in 1879, and settled in Clarinda, making this their permanent home. The little cottage on West Water Street has been the family home for over twenty-six years. When Mr. Camp came west, his health was sadly impaired by the unhealthy trade at which he had been working since young manhood, and he came west with little hopes of living more than a few years. The change, however, proved a highly beneficial one, and it was destined that the young wife and mother should pass to the other side of the river long before her husband, for on November 15, 1882, she died and was laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery. For seven years Mr. Camp lived alone with his boys, and then on December 19, 1889, was married to Mrs. Roush, who survives him.
Since moving to Clarinda about thirty years ago, Mr. Camp's life has been largely one of retirement from manual labor, but he has served the county in official capacity for many years. For ten years he was deputy clerk of the district court, and then for six years he held the office of clerk, and in all of these duties he served the county well and left a clean record. Since that time he has held several minor city offices and for ten years has been secretary of the local I. O. O. F. lodge of which he was an honored member, his wife also being a member of the Rebekahs. He was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city and lived an upright life, respected by all who knew him, and well loved by friends and neighbors. The fnneral will be held this, Tuesday, afternoon at 2:30 o'clock under the direction of the Odd Fellows, Rev. J. N. Maclean, his pastor, preaching the funeral sermon. Although six of Mr. Camp's seven brothers are living, all are in the East and unable to be in attendance at the funeral. The two sons are both here, William having left his family at Ogden, and F. E., though called from Canada, having left his family at the home in Detroit. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 23, 1907

The Clarinda Greenhouse received an order by telegraph the other day for a fine floral design for the Camp funeral from the theatrical company in Canada with which F. E. Camp is an actor. The telegram was received here the day after Mr. Camp's funeral, since the people in Canada did not know the date of the funeral, but the remembrance was very much appreciated by the family of Mr. Camp. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 26, 1907

Thos. W. Camp died Sunday morning at his home in west Clarinda, after a week's illness from pneumonia, aged 75 years, 9 months and 20 days. Mr. Camp was never a robust man, having impaired his health in early life at the glass blower's trade which he followed for years at Camden, N. J., and Pittsburg, Pa.   July 12, 1855, he was married to Miss Mary Alexander, and to them were born two sons, William C. and Florence B. Camp, who survive him.  In 1879 the family came west and located in this city for the benefit of his health, and his wife being a sister to Mart Alexander, then county auditor Mr. Camp soon became deputy clerk of the courts and served for ten years, and then heid the office as clerk for three terms. Nov. 15,1882, his wife passed away, and Dec. 19, 1889, he was mar ried to Mrs. Roush, who survives him.
Mr. Camp had been a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge many years, a firm advocate of the principles of the order, and for ten years filled the office of secretary. He was also a member of the Presbyterian church.   The funeral took place at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows Lodge,
Rev. Maclean preaching the sermon, and his remains laid to rest in the city cemetery under the impressive ceremonies of the order, a large number of members and sympathizing friends paying their last tribute to a brother and companion. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 25, 1907

Dr. B. Campbell died at the home of his son in law, Chas. Berry, in west Clarinda, early yesterday morning, after a lingering life of helplessness. Several years ago he was stricken with parsiysis while residing in Kansas, which rendered him partially helpless. Since then he has had but little use of his limbs and arms but his mind remained strong, About a year ago he removed with his wife to this city, and continued
about the same until a few weeks since, when he began to fail. Mr. Campbell was one of the early settlers of this city, having located here early in the 60's, and was well known to all in former days. About twelve years ago he removed to Kansas. Had he lived until the 11th day of November he would have been 80 years old. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his death. The funeral took place at 3 o'clock this afternoon, from the residence, Rev. Maclean preaching the ser mon, when the Odd Fellows, of which
lodge he had long been a member, took charge and laid his remains at rest in the city cemetery under the most impressive ceremony. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 28, 1904

Early Wednesday morning the life of a good man passed fiom this world to that beyond, when Dr. B. Campbell breathed his last. After spending three years in the invalid chair and part of the time being compelled to lie abed, it almost seems as if the death angel had performed a good deed in quieting his pain and placing his life among the angels of heaven. Dr. Campbell was born in Ohio, November 10, 1824. He went to Des Moines when a boy, where he spent several years and afterwards moved to Council Bluffs and was married in 1864 to Miss Barbara Brown. In March 1868 they came to Clarinda where Dr. Campbell engaged in the grocery business on the north side of the square, and was one of the first pioneer merchants of the town. During the month of June in 1894, they removed to Beloit, Kansas, and resided until May 1,1903, when they both returned to Clarinda and made their home with their son in-law, Mr. Chas Berry, until Mr. Campbell's death April 27, 1904. Three children survive the deceased: George Campbell, of San Jose, Cali., Mrs. Joseph Mackrill, of Griswold, la., and Mrs. Chas. Berry, of this city.
The funeral was held at the home yesterday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. N. Maclean. The Odd Fellows, of which organization he was a member, took charge ot the services at the grave. The remains were interred in the Clarinda cemetery, and thus it is that another good man has gone to his reward. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 29, 1904

Word comes of the death of Gerrold Campbell who, up to about two years ago lived and went to school here, but has been living in Shelly, Nebr., where he is being buried this Thursday. The cause of his death is given as turberculosis. His mother's maiden name was McCune, but none of his folks live here now. He is about 21 years of age. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 20, 1914

The community was saddened Friday morning by the news of the death of Rev. J. F. Campbell, which occurred at his home in the north part of the city at an early hour that morning. The news was not unexpected, for he had been preceptibly failing for several months, and it was known for several days that the change was not far distant.
His funeral was from the M. E. church Sunday afternoon and was one of the most largely attended funerals ever held in Villisea. Reys-McDade of Creston and Harris of Greenfield and the pastor here conducted the impressive service, and the entire audience was sincere mourners.
He was a member of the Montgomery lodge, A. F. and A. M. and he was buried with Masonic honors. Rich floral offerings from different places told of the kind remembrance in which he is held ot the various
churches over which he has presided as pastor. As the sun was sinking low in the west his body was consigned to its resting place beside that of his companion of many years, in Villisca's beautiful cemetery.—Villisca Letter. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Apr 4, 1902

On the 14th day of April, A. D., 1906, Joseph Milton Campbell departed this life. The entire community
of Boise, Idaho, by news of this sad death were again reminded of the uncertainty of this life, and it was the unanimous expression that one of Boise' best citizens was thus removed from our midst. Mr. Campbell was born in Blairsville, Pa., on the 16th day of May, A. D., 1852.  When but a boy he moved with his parents from the state of his birth to the state of Illinois.  On January 13, 1876, Mr. Campbell was married but his wife died on the 27th of March, 1887. In 1881 he moved to Villisca, la,, and in 1883 purchased a farm one and one-half miles north of Yorktown, la., upon which he and his family lived until 1897 when he moved to Clarinda, Ia.  In the year 1900 he moved with his family from Clarinda, la., to Boise, Idaho, where he lived until his demise.  On November 1st, 1890, he was married the second time to Mary E   McClelland, of Yorktown, Ia., who, with the family of eight children survive him.  In the year 1903 Mr. Campbell was elected to the important position of member of the school board of the city schools of Boise, Idaho, which position he held at the time of his death and which he served with honor to himself and with great credit and profit to the schools of the city. In the year 1901 he entered into business in Boise as proprietor of the Capitol Nursery which business he was in possession of at the time of his death and it may be said that he conducted the same with energy, integrity and success.  Mr. Campbell was recognized by all who knew him, as an honest and upright gentleman and one with whom you were always pleased to meet and was held in high esteem and loved by all who knew him. Mr. Campbell not only lived for this life but earnestly lived for the future; from young manhood he lived a consistent member of the Presbyterian church, was first ordained as elder of that church in Yorktown, la., and conscientiously   and   with ability served that church with faithfulness for twenty-two years and up to the time of his death.  His wife, four sons and four daughters all reside in Boise and with one brother,  W. M. Campbell, of Fairfield, Ia., survive him.  In his death the community has lost an exemplary type of true citizenship; the wife has lost a loving husband and the children a kind and generous father.

Grandma Campbell Gone to Reward.
More than 82 years of age, blind for several years, and yet happy in the faith of Christ her Savior, Grandma Campbell, as most people knew her, passed to her reward Tuesday afternoon, June 5th. The funeral services were held this Thursday afternoon at 2:30, from the A. M. E. church conducted by her pastor, Rev. D. W. Brown.
Getting out the old family Bible, we find that the late Mrs. Nancy Campbell was born Jan. 15th, 1835. She was born in slavery, on the eastern shores of Maryland, but was brought when quite young to Platte county, Mo. There she grew up and was twice married. When the Civil War freed the slaves, her old master told them the news that they were free to go where they pleased, and the family moved to town in Missouri. Fifteen years ago, having lost her husband, she moved to Clarinda with the two children who survive her and still live here, Mrs. Ed. Pemberton and Harvey Campbell. For three years, besides being blind, she has been confined to her bed by weakness arising through old age. During all three years she has never lost her cheerfulness nor her love for the Methodist church, of which she was a devoted member, having been a christian for more than fifty years. Some of our young people have made friends with Grandma Campbell, taking books to read to her, and aways finding the old lady a ready and intelligent listener.
