Shelbina Democrat, Shelbina, Missouri, 1901 Apr 10; Page 5, Column 3 DEATHS. William D. Caldwell. The subject of this obituary was for many years one of the largest farmers, stock raisers and stock feeders of this couuty. He lived in Taylor township, right on the Knox line, and part of his farm was in Knox county. He took great pleasure in things agricultural. His father, Samuel Caldwell, was one of the early settlers of Marion county, and there he died at a good old age some twenty-five or thirty years ago. William grew to manhood there, and after the war, came to this county, where he was soon recognized as a man of push and enterprise. He has been troubled with declining health for many years, yet he lived to the good age of three and three-fourths score years. Some months since, after the death of the companion of his young manhood and of his older and failing years, he went to Colorado hoping to regain some of his lost vigor, but the machinery was too nearly worn out, and he died there Monday April 8th, and was buried at Leonard onThursday. He was a brother to Larkin G. Caldwell, well known in this vicinity, and the father of several Shelby citizens. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, an honest man, and an excellent citizen, always taking great interest in all public affairs. Shelbina Democrat, Shelbina, Missouri, 1901 APr 17; Page 1, Column 3 OBITUARY. William David Caldwell was born near Cynthiana, Ky., Jan. 26, 1846, and died at Rocky Ford, Colo., April 8, 1901, aged 75 years, 2 months and 12 days. The death resulted from heart failure preceded by grippe and pneumonia. He was twice married; first to Miss Mary Ann Sites, to whom was born one daughter now deceased; and secondly to Miss Mary Ann Church—Sept. 22, 1853, to whom were born 12 children of whom 9 are now living — 5 sons and 4 daughters. Mr. Caldwell removed from Iowa with his family to his farm in Shelby county. Mo., in 1869; and there, in his home, he united by profession of his faith in Christ with the Shelbyville Presbyterian church, together with his daughter Annie, now Mrs. John Vanhorn. The deceased was a man of decided convictions, intelligent, energetic, industrious and a successful farmer—a man of integrity and fidelity as husband, father, neighbor and friend. And with all his failings he revered God, holy men and holy things, and in his latter years he clung by faith more firmly to the cross of his Savior according to the words of Paul in 2 Tim. 1:12 — "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." Upon this text a sermon was preached by the Rev. T. H. Tatlow, his life-long friend, in the Christian church at Leonard, Mo. After the sermon he was buried in the cemetery there by the side of his endeared wife and in the presence of his children and of his eldest brother, Larkin, and a large concourse of neighbors and friends.—T.
