Historical Sketches of Iowa Baptists, Burdette Company, Burlington, Iowa, 1886.

The Association mourn the decease-on the previous 4th of July (1868), of Rev. James Kay, pastor of the Church at Cascade. Brother Kay was born in Lancashire, England; was for a time on the city mission staff of the City of Manchester. Coming to this country about 1858, he became pastor of the Little Church of Delaware, in Delaware County, Iowa, preaching also at Hopkinton and at Sand Spring. In 1864 he succeeded Elder John Bates as pastor at Cascade, where he labored with great acceptance until laid aside by his last sickness. He is much lamented and greatly honored. His life was holy, his ministry a great success, his death triumphant, his memory blessed.
