Lendo was the son of Edward M. Caldwell and Margaret "Pliny" Davis. He married Rebecca J. Compton (daughter of Cornelius Compton and Rebecca Jane Patterson) and Agnes Mary Calfee.
TWO CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS SUCCUMB
Olendo Emory Caldwell and also George H. Mays Died Monday - Were Well Known Throughout This Section.
As the great army of humanity began its march Tuesday morning towards the setting sun, almost before it had started, the Great Commander called the names of Olendo Emory Caldwell, of this city, and George H. Mays, of Norton, Va., to muster them out of further service to Him and their fellowmen on earth.
Both were gallant soldiers and heroes of the Confederacy, both having volunteered and served the entire four years of that conflict between the states. Both were native born Virginians, esteemed citizens and widely known throughout this section.
Mr. Caldwell died at his home on Frederick Street. Up until a few days ago, he had been feeling unusually well. He was taken suddenly ill, but it was not until Sunday that members of his family considered his illness serious. Death came peacefully at an early hour yesterday morning, thus ending the earthly career of one whose form moved familiarly among us for many years.
Mr. Caldwell was born in Montgomery County, Va., May 17, 1833. These two dates which mark the bounderies of his life and span the most interesting period of human history. In 1881, he married Miss Mary Agnes Calfee who died August 3, 1920. Three daughters and a son, all of Bluefield, survive him - Mrs. A. B. Price, Misses Rebecca M. and Belle Caldwell, and Robert M. Caldwell. Besides these, he is survived by two brothers and four sisters - George E. Caldwell, of Bland, VA; James M. Caldwell, of Bluefield; Mrs. M.W. Franklin, of Princeton; Mrs. J.T. Moore, of Springville, Va.; and T.C. Miller, of Ravanna, Mo.; Mrs. R.D. Read, of Bluefield.
Mr. Caldwell served with the 45th Virginia Regiment [as a corporal] under Captain Ed Harman and had been a member of the First Christian Church for more than a half century.
The funeral service will be held from the late home on Frederick Street this afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. P.P. Hasselvander, of the First Christian Church. Interment will be made in the Calfee burying grounds in south Bluefield.
Pallbearers - B.W. Dillon, George E. Kitts, Ernest Williams, R.D. Bailey, D.B. Mastin, and C.P. Carson.
Flower bearers - Miss Hazel Bailey, Miss Letha Tuggle, Miss Claudie Williams, Miss Ora Suiter, and Mrs. B.W. Dillon.
