Traer Star Clipper, Friday, February 10, 1911 page 1
Charles Cavanaugh, one of the pioneers of the Blessing neighborhood, died Friday morning: after a long illness of general debility. He was eighty-three years of age and had spent half his long life in that neighborhood. He was one of the prosperous farmers of his town. Before his death he had accumulated 1,040 acres of the rich land of the Voorhies country, worth as much as any Iowa land. This he lately divided among the seven living children, who are: Will, Joe, James, Charles and Chris, all living near the old homestead except the latter, who recently moved to Waterloo; Mrs. Sarah Smith, of Farley, Iowa; Mrs. Margaret McKenna, of Blessing. Mr. C. was a high type of good citizenship and held the esteem of his neighborhood. The funeral was on Monday, services at Blessing church and burial in the cemetery near by beside the body of the wife, who died five years ago.
