General Notes: Husband - Samuel A. Caldwell

---

He passed his youth at the old family homestead, receiving the usual educational advantages obtainable in the district schools of the day. At the age of twenty-six he married and located in Bradford township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, purchasing a tract of timber land and engaging in the preparation of square timber. He followed this business about twenty years, rafting the lumber down the river to the Eastern markets. In 1880 he engaged in mercantile business in the town of Bradford, Bigler township, Clearfield County, and continued for two years, when he resumed his former occupation. From 1888 until 1894 he was prop inspector in the mines of Berwin, White & Co., and on leaving that employment on account of failing health, he retired from active work and settled in Ramey.
He was always identified with the Democratic party, and did much to increase its influence in his locality. He held several important offices, serving as county auditor three years and as justice of the peace five years, while he served two terms as school director and overseer of the poor. In religious faith he was a Presbyterian, and was a prominent member of the Church at Ramey, to which his wife and one daughter also belonged.
