"The funeral took place today in the Borough Cemetery, Douglas, last Friday afternoon, of the Rev. Robert Cain, formerly Vicar of Laxey, and who passed away in Braddan Infirmary on the previous Tuesday. Mr Cain , who was 66 years old, was formerly a grocer in Douglas before entering the ministry in 1905. He was ordained deacon in 1906, and appointed to the chaplaincy of St. Luke's, Baldwin. He became Vicar of Foxdale in 1909, and remained there for seven years, when he was appointed Vicar of Laxey, in which parish he laboured for ten years, when he retired and settled in Dougals."
