Commodore W. Cauble was born near Salem, Washington County, Indiana. He taught two terms in the district school, and at the age of twenty-one entered the College of the Bible at Lexington, Kentucky. He graduated with the class of 1899, and preached one year for the church at Dyersburg, Tennessee.

In the fall of 1900 he entered Indiana University at Bloomington, and received his master's degree in the Philosophy Department in June, 1903. He was in the Divinity School of Harvard University during the year 1903 and 1904. While a student at Bloomington, he preached for the church at Orleans, and while at Harvard he preached for the little church at Manton, Rhode Island.

On Oct. 1, 1904, he began a four years' pastorate at Greencastle, Indiana. In the winter of 1908 he spent four months in Egypt, Palestine and southern Europe. He held a short pastorate with the Sixth Church, Indianapolis, and reluctantly gave up that work to go to his present field. He has been pastor at Martinsville since November 1, 1909.

He is president of Bethany Assembly, and gives freely of his time and energy to the brotherhood in that important work.
