Cain, for the past eleven years a resident of the Ireton and Hawarden communities, passed away at 12:15 last Friday morning at his home in Union county, S.D., northwest of Hawarden. Sixteen years ago Mr. Cain began to be troubled with cancer but through the ministrations of physicians he was able to obtain relief until about two years ago when cancer appeared on his hand. Last year he submitted to the amputation of his hand but the relief obtained was of but short duration. Other cancers appeared and slowly sapped his vitality. Two days before his death he contracted pneumonia and this hastened the end. The funeral was held from the Ross Funeral Home at 2:30 Monday afternoon, conducted by Elder J.R. Nelson, assisted by M.N. Skadsheim. Elder Nelson preached the sermon. Interment was made in Grace Hill cemetery. William Henry Cain was the eldest son of James and Sarah Cain.
