Charles Thompson McCaughan
Born of Scotch Irish parentage in Trigg County, Ky., On June 19, 1814, died in Winterset, Ia., Oct. 13th, 1909 in the house which had been his home since Oct. ’65. He graduated from Miami University as Oxford, Ohio in 1937. Attended the theological Seminary in Allegheny City for two years, was licensed to preach by First Ohio Presbytery April 22, 1840. Attended Oxford Seminary one year and was ordained to the ministry Oct., 13, 1841 by the Presbytery of Springfield, Ohio. Was pastor at Sidney, Ohio, from 1841 to 1856. Principal of the Urbana, Ohio, Female Seminary in 1856-1859 and of the Mansfield, Pa., Academy in 1861-1864. In 1865 he became pastor of the Winterset Congregation with its connections and continued actively at work in this field until 1882, being released by Presbytery from the charge at Peru April 10th of that year.
He was a regular writer for the church papers, and a number of his sermons are in print. Notable among which are “The Temporal Support of Religion,” “The value of the World when the Soul Christian Church is Lost” and “The Glory of a Christian Church.”
He was married Nov. 2, 1841 to Miss Emily Sheppard, and to them were born twelve children, and three died in infancy. One son, James, a prominent Des Moines attorney died in 1900 and Thomas A. merchant of Carnegie, Pa., died in 1901. The wife and mother passed to her reward Aug. 3, 1896, and there remain to revere and honor a father’s memory, three sons, Jno. S. of Mexico, Geo. E. of Chicago and F. G. of Sapulpa, Okla., and four daughters, Mrs. Francis A. Steel of Winterset, Mrs. D. N. Heizer of Colorado Springs, Mrs. M. C. Shaffer of Great Bend, Kansas, and Mrs. R. H. Brown of Atlanta, Ga.
The above is a very brief history of an unusually long but perfectly clean, serene and beautiful life. C. T. McCuaghan, D. D. was a man of courage and a man of conviction, he obeyed in early manhood the call to the ministry and he obeyed faithfully too, Paul’s injunction to Timothy, “Preach the Word.” He did not hesitate to ‘Declare the whole Council of God” so as preacher of the word, as pastor, as citizen, as neighbor, as friend, he was everybody’s friend as well as a friend of God.
The latter years of his life have been ones of gradual decline though he kept up his activities till about nine months ago since which time he has been able to be out a little. Yet but two weeks and three days before his end, when 95 years, 3 months old he was able to attend the Church of his choice and partake of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. How anxiously he looked forward to it. How intensely he enjoyed it. He waited patiently for the final summons and when it came never did weary child sink to rest in its mother’s arms with more perfect confidence than did he in the promises of Him who he was, and whom he served.
In the language of a “His life simple and the elements so mixed in him, that nature might hold up her head and say to all the world. Here was a man.” In the language of a greater. “The memory of the just is blessed.”
The U. P. Synod of Iowa in session at Indianola on being advised Wednesday morning of the death of Dr. McCaughan, appointed a committee of four, W. C. Williamson D. D., Joseph Calhoun D. D., Rev. Nicol and the Synod’s Modeator Rev. A. C. Douglas, of Des Moines to attend the funeral which will be from the U. P. church Winterset, Friday at 2:30 p. m. – The Winterset Reporter, Winterset, Iowa.
