Biography from 1919, from "The History of Fresno County" by Paul E Vandor, published 1919, no active copyright. (sent to me by Lester Letson 3/3/2010)

Another late pioneer who sees a great future for Fresno County, as the home of both the horticulturist and the viticulturist. is Emery E. Cauble, an ever industrious, honest and genial Hoosier who first came here in the early part of this century. He was born in Washington County. Ind.. on December 1, 1873, the son of Alexander Cauble, a native of the same state, who was a farmer and served for three years as a sergeant in the Union Army, in Company E of the Fifth Indiana Cavalry. He had married Susanna Morris, a daughter of Indiana, who died in her native state, the mother of seven children, six of whom are living. The youngest in the family, Emery was brought up on a farm, and attended both public and private schools, topping off his studies with a commercial course. He remained home until he was twenty-one, and then he became a photographer and jeweler in Campbellsburg, Ind. For four years he conducted what was one of the notable establishments of the town and when he sold out in 1903, it was to turn his face toward the shores of the Pacific. On coming to California, he settled in Fresno County, and for the first season he went in for lumbering. Then he moved to Kerman and for a season sold nursery stock. Meantime, lie was looking about and getting well-acquainted with Central California conditions. During this period, he bought his present attractive place of forty acres on Dakota Avenue, built on it and made numerous improvements, including a pumping plant and a tractor. A part, of it he has devoted to the growing of alfalfa, and he has a fine orchard and vineyard. He has eight and a half acres of Thompson seedless grapes. fifteen acres of Muir. Lowell and Elberta peaches, and seven acres of apricots. For some years he was also in the poultry business, and he conducted a firstclass apiary ; and he still has an apiary of fifty colonies. E. E. Cauble was married, in 1910, to Miss Eva J. Cummings, a native daughter of San Francisco, whose father was J. J. Cummings, a Canadian who settled in the Bay metropolis, where she was reared and educated. They have one child, Susie. Mr. Cauble was made a Mason in the Robert Morris Lodge, No. 282, in Campbellsburg, Ind., and he is still a member there. Both Mr. and Mrs. Cauble assisted to organize the Beulah United Brethren Church at Vinland, and he has been secretary of the church and assistant superintendent of the Sunday School. He is a member and a stockholder of the California Peach Growers, Inc., and also of the California Associated Raisin Company; he served as local reporter of crops, and has now the honor of being the crop reporter from Fresno County for the United States Government. In national politics Mr. Cauble is a Republican, but he knows no party distinctions when local issues are at stake, and endeavors to support heartily every movement for the improvement and advancement of the community in which he resides.
