David N. Cave, one of the best known market gardeners and poultryman of the Page Valley, died on Wednesday at his home near Luray; Mr. Cave came home from the hospital nine days before his death, having spent a week at the institution where the doctors pronounced his trouble incurable.
He was sixty-eight years old. He was skilled as a farmer, gardener and fruit grower, and for many years retailed his products in Luray. His chief pleasure was probably in the raising of purebred poultry and no man did more to improve poultry stock and to promote interest in this industry in Page County than Mr. Cave.
He was always one of the leaders, if not the prime leader and originator of poultry shows in this county. His fowls took premium at some of the leading poultry shows of the country. He owned a comfortable home and succeeded in life in spite of much bad luck.
The subject of this notice was a son of Isaac Cave, deceased of Hamburg and Springfield.
He has two full brothers living, John H. and Daniel W. Cave, both of near Luray. Two full sisters, Mrs. Sloat, of Winchester, and Mrs. Polk Ham, have passed away. He leaves a number of half brothers and at least one half sister, the number including James Cave, who went to the Klondike twenty years ago and was never heard of again, Charles, deceased, Joseph, of Illinois, Andrew, of Maryland, Lee, of West Virginia, Ashby, and Mrs. Trenary.
Mr. Cave was married three times, his last wife, formerly Miss Allie Gardner, of Frederick County, surviving with one son, Gardner Cave.
By his first marriage to Miss Emma Corbin, daughter of Noah Corbin, of this county, Mr. Cave leaves one daughter, Mrs. R. Frank Rothgeb, of near the Luray Caverns.
Two other children by the first marriage died years ago. Mr. Cave was a member of the Disciples Church from early years.
His funeral will take place at Mt. Zion Brethren Church at 11 a.m., today (Friday) with services by Rev. H.J. Dudley and Rev. Charles A. Hall, and burial in Mt. Zion cemetery.
