Clarence Cavanaugh was a music teacher. An interesting, but sad event is recorded in the Cumberland Evening Times.

1905 December 12 - CAVANAUGH, Prof. Clarence MIDLAND
Prof. Clarence Cavanaugh yesterday experienced the fickleness of an oil stove with which he heats his handsome music room in the Ward Building. Mr. Cavanaugh had business out of his room for a short while yesterday so he carefully adjusted the burner of his heat producer with the hope of keeping his room comfortable and went about his way. Returning within twenty minutes, he was unpleasantly surprised to find his handsome studio a mass of smoke and soot, caused by the unfaithful oil stove, which resulted in ruining the many valuable articles in the room, consisting of music, cabinet statues, books, carpets, curtains and everything so completely and tastefully arranged in the room. The exact loss is not known at the present.
