CAIN, Catherine (Bish)
The Daily Chronicle (Grant Co., Indiana); Friday 27 January 1888; pg. 3

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE

            Catherine, daughter of Peter and Betsy Bish, was born in Rockingham county, Virginia, February 11, 1807, and died January 14, 1888, aged 80 years, 11 months, and 3 days. She removed with her parents to Montgomery county, Va., where she was joined in marriage to John Cain with whom she spent 63 years of happy wedded life. They removed from Virginia to Shelby county, Ohio, and in the fall of 1835 they removed to Indiana and settled on the farm in Pleasant township where she died. Grandmother Cain lived to see the fourth generation; she was the mother of 13 children—6 sons and 7 daughters, grandmother of 69 grandchildren and great-grandmother of 55 great-grandchildren. Two of her daughters, 22 of her grandchildren and 7 of her great-grandchildren had preceded her to the better land.
            Grandmother Cain embraced religion and united with the Methodist Episcopal church at Pleasant Chapel, and subsequently at the organization of the Methodist Protestant church at Mount Olive she became one of the charter members. As long as she was physically able she was faithful in her attendance upon all the means of grace. For thirty years her daily life was a constant living testimony to the reality of the religion she professed. Her faith was strong; she believed in God, she believed also in Christ. Amid the severest affliction she never murmured or complained, and her hope of Heaven was clearest when the hour seemed darkest. Her late sickness was a gradual decline occasioned by the infirmities of age. As the end drew near she earnestly desired to depart and be with Christ; her mind was unimpaired to the last, and looking into the face of her aged companion and loved ones standing by her bedside, she took them by the hand and quietly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus. “As a shock of corn fully ripe,” she has passed on to her reward loved and honored by all who knew her. May God in his goodness and mercy comfort and sustain her aged companion, who is left to linger a little while longer on this side of the heavenly country. And may the comforting influence of God’s grace rest and abide with her dear sons and daughters who are mourning the departure of their mother, and may they so live that they may make an unbroken family around the “throne of God.”
            Grandmother Cain’s funeral sermon was preached Sabbath morning, January 29, 1888, in the M.P. church at Mt. Olive, by Rev. G.E. Lancaster, from Hebrews 11, 14-16, to a large congregation of neighbors and friends.

Servant of God, well done.
            They glorious warefore’s past.
Thy battles fought, thy race is run,
            And thou art crowned at last.

Friend after friend departs;
            Who hat not lost a friend?
There is no union here of hearts
            But that hath here an end.
