Logan Residence John Thomas Caine, Jr. SI X the clays of the prehistoric “Celtic Supremacy ' in Western Europe, the ancestors of Professor Caine roved the heathery uplands and boggy wilds, sallied from their huts and caves, girt with leather armor, and fought with the wildest. Their primitive weapons rang in the din of battles long ago. Ancient mossy cairns now and then yield up the moldering bones and dolichocephalic skulls of these savage warriors. The erudite archaeologist ponders long and deeply in vain attempts to decipher all the mystic symbols and inscriptions on the stone monuments, sole relics of a mighty vanished race. The shattered remnants of this cycle, much obscured and influenced by successive inundations of varying races following each other in westward migrations, persist in a few places on the bleak Atlantic shores of Europe. The Breton folk, the Gaols of the Scottish Highlands. the Welsh, the Irish, and the inhabitants of the Isle of Man. represent the present-day descendants of the race who preceded the Romans and the Teutons in the British Isles. The Isle of Man is the home of our Caines, a brunch of the same family that has produced the well-known Manx historian and novelist. Hall Caine. John Thomas Caine. Senior.

genarian residing in Salt Lake City, migrated from the ancestral estate of Ballamoar Patrick, Isle of Man. came to America at the age of fifteen and founded the Caine family in the Rockies. John Thomas Caine. Jr., the son of John T. Caine and Margaret Nightingale Caine, was bom March 9. 1854, in Salt Lake City. During his early childhood he shared in all the hardships incident to pioneer days; he took part in the famous “Move” southward, when Salt Lake City was left deserted at the approach of Johnson's Army. For a short time the family remained at Provo, then returned to the capital and settled in the 18th Ward. Here Mr. Caine lived from 1859 to 1877, and here he received most of his preliminary education, in attendance at the private schools of Miss Cook. Mrs. Dunbar. Carl G. Maeser. J. Fewson Smith, Carl Lechtenberg. and W. II. Roger. From 1868 to 1871 he attended the University of Deseret, now the University of Utah, at that period under the direction of Dr. John R. Park. After leaving the University Mr. Caine entered the employ of the Z. C. M. I., and remained there, in various positions, until 1876. From earliest youth Professor Caine showed unusual interest in the higher things of this life, in intellectual pursuits as opposed to the material. During his student days and while at the Z. C. M. I., he was an active member of the old Wasatch Literary Society; lie was a charter member of the Delta Phi Debating Society, and one of those wh° founded the Decennial Philadelphia Society, which had for its purpose the perpetuating of friendships by having its members meet once every ten years throughout life. In 1876. John T. Caine, Jr., attended the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia, and from there he proceeded to Ithaca, New York, and enrolled himself in Cornell University, for the purpose of studying Agriculture. To Mr. Caine belongs tin distinction of being the first of a long line of capable men who have gone from Utah to enter Ezra Cornell’s famous school. At that time the study of Agriculture in schools was unheard of. and much mild banter and witty pleasantry greeted Mr. Caine among his friends when his purpose became known. On account of ill health Mr. Caine remained but one year at Cornell. Upon returning to Salt Lake City in 1877 he again attended the University of Deseret, and in the fall he came to Logan as instructor in Miss Ida I. Cook’s private school. Next spring he entered the employ of the Logan Branch of the Z. C. M. I., and he oscillated between teaching and Zion's Co-operative Mercantile Institution for a number of years. He was in turn County Superintendent of Schools for Cache County. City Superintendent of Logan City Schools, and member of the Board of Education for Logan City. In October. 1878. occurred the most important event in Professor Caine’s career,—an event so successful that be has never ceased advising all young (and elderly) men to follow his example. lie married Miss Kathinka Hallif. familiarly known ms Kinnic. a daughter of Serge F.
