Cackley, D.D., who died Monday at Roanoke, Va., were buried today at 3 o'clock at Falls Church, Va. He was at one time located there, and his wife and a child are buried there. Mineral Daily News, April 30, 1913 (Courtesy of Patti McDonald) Posted August 29, 2010 CACKLEY, Andrew M. Andrew M. Cackley was born in Pocahontas County, W. Va., May 28, 1849, and died in Roanoke, Va., April 28, 1913.  When he was a lad, his father moved to Greenbrier county, W. Va., and there he grew to manhood. He was converted at an early age and so clear was his conversion that people who were present said that he would be a preacher. Not long after that happy event God called him into ministry. He was licensed to preach by the late Rev. W. G. Coe, then presiding elder of the Lewisburg District. He united with the Baltimore Conference in the year 1875. He was happily married to Miss Annie Moomau, of Petersburg, W. Va., who preceded him to the heavenly home in the year 1901. Dr. Cackley was one of the clearest expounders of the distinctive doctrines of Methodism the Conference has ever had. His own faith was so clear and the evidence of his own acceptance so unmistakable that he could but preach to others the eternal verities of his own experience. We have had greater preachers, but I am sure no one has ever more clearly illustrated in his life the doctrines he preached to others, or lived a more self-sacrificing life, for the sake of the things he preached, than he.  His long devotion and gentleness towards his invalid wife, his quiet serene peace, his kindly face and courtly manners of the Christian gentleman, he has made for him a place in the hearts in those who knew him best that few could ever fill. Many hearts have been made happier and brighter because he lived, and many wandering souls have found the face of the King because he preached the Gospel of the Christ.  He was a sufferer for many years with what he thought was stomach trouble, but not until after his return from the late conference that he was slowly being eaten up by a malignant cancer. He soon got his earthly house in order and made preparations for his going. He gave minute directions concerning his funeral and then calmly waited, counting the slowly passing days before his Father came to take him to the home he longed to enter.  His abiding faith and only hope for salvation was in the atonement of his Lord in which he trusted implicitly. As his hours sped by his Lord came nearer and nearer to him. Often upon his lips were the words of the hymn of which he was very fond, "My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less Than Jesus' Blood and Righteousness." Like his Lord, he suffered awful pains of the dread disease without taking an opiate of any kind. He desired to die possessed of all his reasoning faculties. The end came while surrounded by his brethren of the ministry whom he loved, and the members of his household.  Brief services was held at the parsonage in Roanoke and his remains taken to Falls Church, Va., where he desired to be buried by the sleeping dust of his wife and child.  At the home in Roanoke, the services were conducted by Rev. G. D. White, presiding elder, assisted by Revs. J. Howard Wells and S. T. Senter, in the presence of the other ministers of the town and a large company of sorrowing friends. At Falls Church, his friend and former presiding elder, Rev. W. H. Woolf, conducted the service, assisted by Revs. W. D. Keene, J. H. Dulaney, B. F. Ball, H. L. Hout, J. H. Schooly, D. H. Kern. - Baltimore Southern Methodist Keyser Tribune, June 13, 1913 (Courtesy of Patti McDonald) Posted September 4, 2010   CAGE, John M. John M.
