Obituary: MRS. ELLEN CAFFEY DIED IN PHILLIPSBURG MAY 4TH (1926)
Ellen O. Caffey, who made her home with a daughter, Mrs. B. F. McFarland in Phillipsburg, died Wednesday, May 4th. Funeral services were held in the Presbyterian Church there conducted by Rev.. J. A. Russell.Ellen C. McAdoo was born in Greene Co. Dec. 25, 1851, was seventy-five years and four months old. Her first marriage was to Thomas Caffey. To this union were born two children, Mrs. Emma E. McFarland of Phillipsburg and Charley Caffey of Oklahoma. In 1873 she was married to Edward Caffey. To this union was born six children, Martin Caffey of Phillipsburg, Mrs. Hattie South of California, Mrs. Lucy Hufft of Near Sleeper, Mrs. Maude Fulton of Oklahoma, Mrs. Carda Stafford and C. E. Caffey of Conway. She is survived by all of her children, 24 grandchildren, 4 greats, and other relatives and a host of friends. Mrs. Caffey became a Christian at the age of 13 and joined the Presbyterian church where she lived a faithful member until death. Mrs. Caffey lived a noble life. She was kind to her children and neighbors, having had no other purpose in the world than to do good. How well she filled that mission was told by her many deeds of kindness. Our hearts go out in sympathy to those who mourn the loss of this loved one. She will be greatly missed in the community where she had lived for many years. Interment was in the Salem Cemetery.

There is a second obit for her...basically the same, with these additions:
First husband Thomas Caffey...died Oct 27, 1871. Her second husband died 25 years later in the same month and on the same day of the month of the first husband. The second marriage was to Edward Caffey (a brother of Thomas Caffey) in 1873. It is 29 years since the death of Edward Caffey.
