Caudill was a well reknown Old Regular Baptist Preacher. He preached that, 'Everyone should lay aside all party spirits and place the churches on the same ground they were on before the war. In the future, you must be governed only by the Word of God, and you must try to live in peace.' He died at age 59, from a severe cold, pleurisy, and exhaustion on February 11, 1889, at the home of a friend in Claiborne County, Tennessee, while on a trip to Tennessee to organize another church. He was a man who lived soberly, righteously, and Godly. He was a man who was lead by the Holy Word of God.
