A Pioneer Citizen Gone R. Cain, well known all over Rains county, died at Dr. Joe Beckton hospital in Greenville last Thursday.  He had only been sick three days with acute indigestion.  Mr. Cain was born at Grandchain, Ill., September 11, 1863,  Should he have lived until September, he would have been 72 years old.  He came to Texas 47 years ago and 33 years ago came to Rains county and located one mile north of Point where he has lived ever since until his death.  He was a consistent member of the Christian church, a kind and loving husband and father and numbered his friends by the score.  He leaves six children, all of whom are married but one, to mourn his loss.  They were all present at the funeral, except the oldest son, Marshall.  Funeral services were conducted by Rev. S.S. Frazier of Lone Oak and his remains laid to rest Friday in the Lone Star cemetery, where a large concourse of relatives and friends gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to one whom they had known to love and respect.  The writer joins their host of friends in tendering to the bereaved ones sincere sympathy in their great affliction.
