Katherine Ellen (Cooper) Eggleston is the daughter of Joseph Cooper and
Jeannie or Jennie is most commonly found, but legal name Virginia Ellen
(Swisher) Cave Cooper of Illinois and Missouri. Katherine Ellen (Cooper)
Eggleston was born in 1899 in Seymour Missouri in the back of a Covered
Wagon, according to family legend.
My mom, now 83, very much wants to know where her grandparents are
buried. (Jeannie or Jennie) Virginia Ellen (Swisher) married first Merritt
Henry Cave in 1876 in Brown County Illinois. They resided in St. Clair County
Missouri, Butler County, Missouri, but after 1880 I loose them entirely. By
1908, (Jeannie or Jenny) Virginia Ellen (Swisher) Cave is listed as a Cooper
on the marriage of her daugther Hattie Cave (married a Charles Eakins). I
then found that (Jeannie or Jenny) Virginia Ellen (Swisher) had married a
Joseph Cooper sometime after 1890 and before 1899, when their daughter
Katherine Ellen (Cooper) Eggleston was born in Seymour Missouri in the Back
of a Covered Wagon.
I now have been able to locate Katherine Ellen (Cooper) Eggleston's place
of death, in Newhall, LA County, California. But so far, a couple of
researchers in that area have been unable to produce a death certificate or
obituary.
Since, after three years of full time effort, I have been unable to locate
the grave of (Jeannie or Jennie) Virginia Ellen (Swisher) Cave Cooper for my
mom, it may be possible that she is also buried in California near her
daughter. If not, I am hoping to follow down information to find living
descendants of Katherine Ellen (Cooper) Eggleston in order to hopefully find
the graves, as well as (praying for) a photo of my mom's grandmother (Jeannie
or Jennie) Virginia Ellen (Swisher) Cave Cooper. My mom has never seen a
photo of her grandparents and never met her.
Have you ever made a promise and then started to realize you might not be
able to keep it? I promised my mom I'd find out where her grandparents are
buried. I thought that since I had found 8 generations on my father's side,
finding her grandparents would not be that difficult. Little did I know I'd
be searching for them in four States, and a bunch of counties in each.
And now, California, and well, LA County is not the best place in the
world to try and locate family. I've made many long distant phone calls to
newspapers, libraries and to researchers in that area. I have two individuals
searching for a Death Record and Obituary. But nobody is finding her grave.
So...... if there is any of you out in that area....I'm asking for your help.
This is from the California Death Index. Katherine Ellen (Cooper) Eggleston
died in Los Angeles County.
Newhall was a small (now large) desert suburb of Los Angeles North of L.A.
toward Landcaster / Palmdale area. An obit may have been in the L.A. Times.
There is a 1 in 4 chance of finding one. I am not sure of any small papers in
that area.

GRANVILLE CAVE
Agriculture has always been the basis of prosperity. The products
of the soil form the foundation for all commercial activity and the
property which pays a sure annual income, more reliable than that
of any other investment, is the farm. Among the more successful
agriculturists of Union Township is Granville Cave, who is now the
owner of two hundred and fifty-three acres of fine land on section 1.
He has always made a specialty of raising and feeding stock and
in addition his labors in the cultivation of his fields bring him a
good return.
He was born in this county on the 20th of May, 1861, his parents
being John S. and Sarah (Payton) Cave. The father was born in
Kentucky, in 1805, while the mother's birth occurred in Ohio in 1823.
John S. Cave was married twice and unto his second union there
were born five children: Marion, who is living in this county;
Caroline,
the wife of Joseph Naylor, now in Decatur county, Iowa; Edward,
also of Decatur county; Granville, of this review; and one who has
passed away. It was in the early '50s that the father came to Dallas
county and purchased land, becoming a pioneer settler in a district
where all of the evidences of frontier life were to be seen. He
undertook the task of developing a new farm and as the years
passed by he transformed the place into productive fields. For
many years he successfully carried on general farming but his life's
labors were ended ill death in 1895. His wife survived him for
about eight years and died in 1903.
Granville Cave spent his boyhood and youth in his parents' home
and at the usual age entered the public schools, where he mastered
the common branches of learning, while under his father's direction
he received the training in farm work that later qualified him for the
conduct of a successful business on his own account. After arriving
at years of maturity he was united in marriage to Miss Rhoda
De Camp in the year of 1880. She was born in Indiana in 1863 and
is a daughter of E. W. and A. E. (Howe) De Camp. Her father was
born in Indiana, February 27, 1832, and the mother's birth occurred
in New York, September 9, 1842. In his family were fifteen children.
Previous to his marriage to Miss A. E. Howe, which occurred in
Elkhart county, Mr. De Camp married Libbie Rosier, who died
leaving two children: Warren, a farmer of Adams township, Dallas
county; and Hiram, a machinist of Topeka, Kansas. The children
by the second marriage are: Nettie, the wife of Emery Skinner of
Adel; Marshall, of Springfield, Missouri; Mrs. Cave; Silas, of
Redfield, Iowa; Lafayette, of Linn township, Dallas county;. Nellie,
who died when two years of age; Emma, who passed away when
a young lady; Nannie, the deceased wife of Frank Rogers, of
Winfield, Kansas; Josie, the wife of J. Bonnett, of Santa Cruz,
California; Ida, the wife of Frank Connelly, of Winfield, Kansas;
Addie, who married L. A. Rising, also of Winfield, Kansas;
Norman, living in Hamilton, Iowa; and Charles, of Adel township,
Iowa. It was in the year 1863 that E. W. De Camp came to Iowa,
settling in Dallas county, where he resided until 1886. He then
removed to southeastern Kansas, where he lived for two years,
after which he returned to Dallas county, Iowa, where he also lived
for two years. In 1901 he took up his abode in Springfield,
Missouri, and purchased a fruit farm. He and his wife are now
living in that city and he is practically retired from active business
life, having attained the age of seventy-five years.
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Cave has been blessed with a son and
daughter. The elder, Marvin E., is a graduate of the Redfield high
school and is now operating a part of his father's farm. He married
Miss Nellie Shoberg. The daughter, Bertha May, is the wife of
Sumner Davis, a resident of North Dakota, and they have one son
whose name is Marvin. Mrs. Davis taught music for two years
previous to her marriage.
The home of the family is pleasantly located on section 1, Union
township, and the farm comprises two hundred and fifty-three acres
of rich and productive land. The place is well tilled and Mr. Cave
has made a specialty of raising and feeding stock. He has largely
turned over the active work of the farm, however, to others and is
now practically living retired, enjoying a well earned rest. His wife
is a devoted member of the United Brethren church and both are
interested in all that pertains to the moral and intellectual develop-
ment of the community. Mr. Cave has served as a, school director
for several years and the cause of education finds in him a stalwart
champion. In his political views he is a democrat and socially he is,
connected with the Modern Woodmen camp, No. 3498, at Redfield.
As one of Dallas county's native sons he has a wide acquaintance
here and his many good qualities as a business man and citizen
have gained for him the warm and unqualified regard of the great
majority of those with whom he has come in contact.

French Lick - Maple Street History
By Parke Flick
Letter to the editor - Springs Valley Herald -
1999
Dr. Sloan's home was almost identical to the home,
also on Maple Street, now owned by Bill Burton. For
many years this home was the residence of
WILLIAM WASHBURN CAVE, fondly called "Banker
Bill," since there was another BILL CAVE, who was
known as "Gravel Road Bill," who owned CAVE
Quarries. W.W. Cave was president of the French
Lick State Bank from 1903 until the bank was sold to
outside interests in 1958.
The reason the aformentioned homes were somewhat
alike was that the father of the first Mrs. CAVE built the
homes for her and her sister. Whose married name was
Pigg.

JEFFERSON F. CAVE, son of Abner and Ophelia (Cave) Cave,
was born in Taylor County, Ky., March 18, 1834. Abner Cave
was born in 1809, and was a son of Thomas Cave, who came

1915 Harrison County Iowa Biographies
JAMES G. CAVE - What a wonderful training school the farm is. Even a
cursory review of the
biographies of the men who have exerted the widest and most beneficent
influence upon the
destinies of this nation convinces the student of such forms of
research that a great majority of
these men have secured their basic training in youthful days spent
close to the soil, taking from
beneficent nature, right at her fountain sources, the lessons most
useful in the creation of a
character fitted for the best constructive work in the business of the
world.
This fact has been demonstrated so uniformly as to be accepted without
cavil and it almost has
come to be regarded as a truism that the "boys from the farm" are the
men who later are called
on to exercise the controlling and decisive voice in the conduct of
affairs in the cities and towns of
the nation. There are several notable examples of this sort to be
found in Harrison county, not the
least conspicuous of which is found in the career of the gentleman
whose name forms the caption
of this interesting biographical sketch.
James G. CAVE, who occupies the important and responsible position of
cashier of the Persia
Savings Bank of Persia, Harrison county, Iowa, was born on a farm in
Union township, this county,
January 6, 1874, the son of James C. and Jane (CLARK) CAVE, being the
second in order of birth
of the five children born to this union. Mr. CAVE's father was a
native of England, where he was
born in the year 1847. Believing better opportunities offered
themselves to the energy and
initiative of mankind in America, the senior CAVE left England in 1870
and came to this country,
locating in Harrison county, Iowa. He engaged in farming in both Union
and Washington townships
and remained on the farm the remainder of his life, his death
occurring in April, 1914. His widow,
who also was born in England, is now living in Persia, Iowa.
To James C. and Jane (CLARK) CAVE five children were born, in order of
birth as follows: Infant
(deceased); James G., of whom this biographical sketch treats in
further detail below; Beatrice,
wife of W. A. SMITH, who resides in Yoder, Colorado; Augustus F., a
prosperous and progressive
farmer of Washington township, Harrison county, Iowa; Victoria, wife
of Peter LARSON, who
resides at Council Bluffs, Iowa.
James G. CAVE was reared on the paternal acres in Washington township,
Harrison county, and
received in his early youth such education as the district schools of
the township afforded. The
course of instruction here followed, he later supplemented with a
course in the Woodbine Normal
School, following which he took a course at Highland Park School,
preparatory to entering the
ranks of the public school teaching force. Thus equipped, Mr. CAVE, in
1894, began teaching, his
first work in this line being performed in the district schools of
Boyer township. For nine years he
continued as a teacher, his important duties in that direction being
ever performed with
thoroughness and attention to the basic educational needs of the youth
who thus came under his
charge. In this relation Mr. CAVE established many friendships with
his pupils in this county, who,
in earnest recognition of the service rendered by him in the school
room, maintain toward him a
feeling of enduring regard and sincere esteem.
Upon leaving the schoolmaster's desk, Mr. CAVE entered the bank of
Persia and in 1904 was
made assistant cashier of that institution. In 1910 the Persia Savings
Bank was organized and Mr.
CAVE was made cashier, he being the director and one of the chief
stockholders. In addition to his
activities in the bank, Mr. CAVE gives much attention to his large
farming interests. He owns a
highly-cultivated farm of five hundred acres in Washington and Union
townships, besides an
attractive modern home in Persia.
In 1912 Mr. CAVE was united in marriage with Grace PATTERSON, who was
born in 1889, daughter
of A. C. PATTERSON, a well-known and prosperous retired farmer of
Harrison county, who now
resides in Magnolia. One child, a daughter, Grace Verdene, has come to
bless this union and Mr.
and Mrs. CAVE are supremely happy in the delightful home they have
established in Persia. In the
social activities of the town they take their proper part and no
couple in this part of the state is
any more popular, and deservedly so, than they. In the business
affairs of Persia, Mr. CAVE ever
is found taking his proper part in promoting the best interests of the
community and he is very
properly recognized as one of the most forceful and aggressive units
in the upbuilding of this
section of Iowa. He is a member of the Masonic order, his affiliation
being with the lodge of Persia,
in whose affairs he takes an active interest. Though deeply interested
in civic affairs, Mr. CAVE,
politically, is not a partisan of the extreme type, believing that the
voter of an independent mind
often is able to wield a larger and more beneficent influence upon the
public weal, in which belief he
is yearly being supported more and more by many of the most thoughtful
elements of the life of
the nation.

"From Salt Spring Island and Cowichan"
From Rev. JCB Cave of Comox, who arrived last
evening from Salt Spring Is. via Cowichan and Saanich,
we learn that he visited all the settlements on salt Spring
Island and took a census of the population, from which it
appears that there are 17 couples, 22 single men, and
42 children on the Island. without including those at
Burgoyne Bay (which place he was unable to reach)
where there are about 15 souls, making the entire
population 152. Mr Cave conducted the moring service
on Saturday last, at one of the settlements, and there was
a good attendance of children at Sunday school. A school
house has been erected and completed with the exception
of the flooring. They have 42 children and want a teacher.
After the moring servive the male portion of the popuolation
conducted our informant over Tait mountain to Begg's
settlement, where the service was held in the afternoon.
Mr Cave departed from SSI on Monday morning, arriving at
Maple Bay about 11 o'clock on the same day...[goes to
Cowichan, Maple Bay] Mr Cave regards Salt Spring Island
as one of the most promising settlements he has ever visited.

Hello
For over three years now I have compiled a family database for the
Rogers/Rodgers and Cave(s) because I have the time, the interest and well, my
mom's maiden name is Caves, a descendant of a Cave.
All of our various research work, placed into one large family file is
the way to go. It worked well for the Rogers/Rodgers, and found many problem
areas that researchers can now compare works in one file.
I'd be glad to combine all of your research into one file, but that is up
to you. I only offer because I have the time and enjoy looking at all the
various branches of the family. Maybe somebody else would like to do it,
either way, it is a very good idea.

Dear "friday"
Gosh I didn't mean to start a family spat. What would our David/John/Mary
Cave forebearers think of us now?
Honestly, I believe there's been a misunderstanding. I am in no way trying
to criticize or, as you say, "critique" anyone.
All that I (among others) suggest is that we have a place on the Internet to
pool primary sources on Cave ancestry. From these primary sources
genealogies are constructed, along with secondary evidence such as old family
trees, letters, etc.
There are many confusing and contradictory Cave genealogies on the Internet.
Historical accuracy is becoming the standard even in amateur genealogy. If
there is a place with primary referenced sources, then we won't all have to
do the same work over and over again to verify or disprove the possible
links. Why reinvent the wheel?
As far as the arrogant/obtuse/intolerant/obsessive-compulsive comments, well
all I can say is you are welcome to your views. Personally I think there is
already too much misdirected anger and conflict in the world. So if you
insist on further name calling and self deprecating sarcasm please e-mail me
privately lest we bore the other folks.

CAVE, THOMAS J.
Springs Valley Herald
(November 21, 1940) Death Notice
Thomas J. Cave, 96, last surviving Civil War veteran in
Orange County passed away quietly Monday night at
eleven o'clock at his home on College Street. "Uncle Tom"
had been in failing health for several months and gravely ill
several days before death ended his long life. Mr. Cave
was the last surviving member of the Basil B. Decker Post
here. He enlisted with the 18th Indiana Infantry and saw
active service in several important battles in the Civil War.
He was widely known in Orange and surrounding counties
and enjoyed a great circle of friends and acquaintances
who mourn his passing. Death brought to a close the long
life of this man who had become as familiar here as the
material landmarks of the town. His friendship and
interesting stories of the Civil War era will long be
remembered. His demise brings to a close the connecting
link between this generation and that of the 1860s.
Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday
afternoon at 2:00 o'clock. Interment will be made in the
Ames Chapel cemetery, with W. V. Ritter & Son in charge.
He is survived by a son, W. W. Cave and two daughters,
Mrs. Belle Wells and Mrs. Clark Hill, all of French Lick.

Springs Valley Herald
(November 28, 1940) Obtuary
THOMAS J. CAVE
Cave, son of John and Sarah Kearby Cave, was born in
Dubois County, Indiana, September 11, 1844. John Cave
was born in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Thomas
Jefferson Cave, the father of John, came to Indiana in 1816
and entered land in Dubois County, along what was then
known as the Buffalo Trail and which is now known as State
Road 56. A few miles from where his father located
John Cave and Sarah Kearby founded a home in 1830. Into
this home Thomas as born and lived as a boy in a family of
seven children, he being the youngest. His opportunities for
an education were limited and the first schools which he
attended were subscription schools and of short duration.
On the farm he learned some valuable lessons in the school
of experience, amid the primitive surroundings of the pioneer
life of that day. At the age of thirteen he was bereft of his
father and from that time, he was thrown largely upon his own
resources.
Some years later his mother was married to Matthew Kirkland.
In this home were seven stepbrothers and sisters, among them
was Mary Christina, who later became his wife. At the age of
sixteen, he answered the call of President Abraham Lincoln
to defend his country's flag and enlisted in the 18th Indiana
Infantry where he served more than four years, until the dis-
banding of the Union Army. During the first three years of the
war he was under the command of General U. S. Grant of the
Western Division of the Army. He survived many conflicts in
Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and
other states which included Champion Hills, Black River and
many others, culminating in the siege of Vicksburg which
ended July 4, 1863. After this his regiment saw active service
in Georgia and the southeastern states and was later trans-
ferred to the Eastern Division of the Army under the command
of General Phil Sheridan. This campaign was also noted for
many severe conflicts. He was in the battle of Cedar Creek,
Virginia, when Sheridan made his famous ride from
"Winchester Twenty Miles Away" and turned the fleeing Union
forces back to a victorious ending. In this battle his oldest
brother, William W. Cave, was wounded from which he died
later in a hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He sustained another
severe loss in this struggle, a member of his company and
boyhood friend, was reported missing and was never heard
from after that battle.
After he was mustered out of service at Darien, Georgia,
he arrived home in September, 1865, a few days before
reaching his twenty-first birthday. Soon after his return from
the army he became engaged in farming. On February 17,
1867 he was married to Mary C. Kirkland. This marriage
was severed by the death of his companion, after a life of
almost 71 years together, on Christmas Day, 1937. To this
union four children were born, one son and three daughters,
three of whom survive him. Stella went to her crowning in
1915. He moved to Orange County in February, 1873 to
land that is now a part of the Country Club Golf Course. He
retired in 1913 and moved to French Lick where he resided
until his passing, with a continuous life in this community for
almost three score and ten years. For many years in
connection with his farming interest, he was engaged in
various other enterprises, which included saw milling, grist
mill, also the practice of law. He was the oldest member of
the Orange County Bar. He became well known as an
auctioneer which line he followed for many years. On
account of his varied activities, he formed a wide
acquaintance and perhaps in his active life knew as many
people as any one of his day within his county and those
adjoining. The lack of educational opportunities in early life
did not deprive him of acquiring knowledge. He was an
inveterate reader and became well informed on current
topics and all matters of general civic interest. He
possessed an engaging personality and easily made
acquaintances. He had a natural bent toward politics and
was notable among those of his acquaintance as
unwavering in his convictions. He was positive and
unyielding in what he believed to be right. This attitude
was accentuated, no doubt in large measure, to his Civil
War experience and the years of Reconstruction, which
followed. In his religious beliefs, he was likewise positive
and uncompromising. In his early life he united with the
United Brethren Church at Hillham, Indiana and several
years ago his membership was transferred to the French
Lick Methodist Church where he was faithful in support
and in attendance until his hearing became impaired. His
varied experiences in life made him an interesting and
entertaining conversationalist, and his reminiscences
were many and quite vivid. His life extended from the days
when men and women wore homespun into a new day of
rapidly changing scenes and events. Through it all he never
lost interest in life about him and in the world, this interest,
remaining with him until just a few days before his going.
A number of years ago, he became the sole survivor of the
local Basil B. Decker Post of the Grand Army of the Republic
and later he became the lone survivor of his regiment of the
Civil War. His death takes from Orange County its last
soldier of that great struggle. He lived a long and active life
and fell asleep November 18, 1940 with a span of life
covering 96 years, two months and seven days.
The three surviving children are W. W. Cave,
Mrs. Belle Wells and Mrs. Isis Hill, all of French Lick, also
seven grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Besides these, a large number of other relatives with an
almost unnumbered list of friends and acquaintances, all
of whom will miss him greatly.
