General Notes: Husband - David Caldwell
He was born at Water Street, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, and was educated in the common schools of his native village, and in Alexandria and the old Hook school near Spruce Creek, after which he went to Hollidaysburg and learned the trade of tanning with his uncle David. In 1849 he came to Huntingdon, where his father then resided, and being still in his minority, he entered the public school at Huntingdon as a pupil, and finished his education, as far as the schools were concerned, in 1850. While at the Huntingdon school he studied surveying, and afterwards assisted his father, who was then deputy surveyor of the county. In the winter of 1850-51 he taught the Hook school, in Franklin township, where he had himself been a pupil from 1842 to 1846. During the next six years, from 1851 till 1857, he devoted his time and attention to clerking and managing at iron-works for Dr. Peter Shoenberger and others in the counties of Huntingdon and Bedford, and in the lumber and coal business in Cambria, until called home by the death of his father in May, 1857, to undertake the settlement of his estate. In October of the same year he was elected prothonotary and clerk of courts, and served three years. He was admitted to the bar on the 20th day of January, 1870, after which time he entered active practice.
