The latter was one of three sons of Joseph Caldwell, and was the father of thirteen children, most of whom were sons, whose descendents are scattered over various parts of the United States. John Caldwell, father of our subject, was also a native of Westmoreland County, but when quite young he removed with his parents to Ohio, where he was reared and married, remaining there till his death. James Caldwell, whose name heads this sketch, was reared on a farm in his native State, receiving his education in the rude log-cabin subscription schools. He was married July 4, 1851, to Miriam Downs, daughter of William Downs, deceased. Nine children have been born to them, of whom eight survived -- G. Clinton, Lillian E., Willard W., Barbara L., Clara Belle, Eveline M., James L. and Cora E. Mr. Caldwell came to this county with his wife in the spring of 1855, settling on the section where he has since resided. For several weeks after coming here they lived in their wagon. They then moved into their house, which consisted of forks driven into the ground, sided up with rough boards, the roof being covered over with prairie hay, the floor of earth being carpeted with prairie grass. Their furniture was of the rudest kind, it principally consisting of a bench, trunk, packing box and a bedstead fastened to the wall. Here they experienced many hardships incident to pioneer life, but are today in comfortable circumstances, which has been acquired by their combined industry and frugality. Both Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell are members of the Christian church at Humeston.
