"Uncle Bob" as he was familiarly known, was born in North Carolina, Jan. 6, 1828, and came with his parents to Missouri when an 8 year-old boy. The family located on Hog creek, about 2 miles from Laflin, where he, with 4 brothers, Samuel, John L., James F. and William and 2 sisters, Margaret and Grace, was reared, and not one of whom is now living. At an early age he married Louisa Snider and 6 sons were born to them, Edward F. and Thomas A., both of Lutesville, being the only survivors. Mrs. Caldwell died in 1877 or ' 78 and after a time he married Mrs. Matilda Pair, who survives him. A daughter was born to them, now Mrs. Harry Sadler, who, with her husband and family, resided with him at the time of his decease. He was a more than ordinarily intelligent man took an active interest in the community and country at large. In the war of the rebellion he espoused the cause of the south, Col. William Jeffer's regiment, and took an active part until that wonderful struggle ended, always faithful in the discharge of every duty. After the surrender, he returned to find his home in ashes, but with indomitable energy he went about repairing his fallen fortunes. Mr. Caldwell had been an active and consistent member of the M. E. Church South more than half a century. There was never any uncertainty about his position on Christian, moral or temperance questions, always zealously active and outspoken in favor of the moral side of every issue. He was a good man, a kind and generous neighbor and one of the best of citizens. His funeral was conducted by Rev. Joseph A. Russell, at Ebenezer, in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends, and his remains were buried in the cemetery there. A. Friend.
