Five Generations Survive Reno County Grandmother
Mrs. S.J. Caldwell is Dead at Home in Huntsville Township.
Having lived to see five generations of children calling her mother and grandmother, Mrs. Samuel J. Caldwell, aged 83 years, is dead at the home of her oldet daughter, Mrs. Wm. Lamb, of Huntsville township.
Mrs. Caldwell was a great-great-great-grandmother, a title that is very rare, especially for a woman of 83. She is survived by six children, six grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, 24 great-great-grandchildren and one great-great-great-grandchild.
Mrs. Caldwell (Emily Patterson) was born in Rochester, N.Y., May 16, 1829. She was married to Samuel J. Caldwell March 28, 1853, in Medina, Ohio. In 1862 Mr. Caldwell enlisted and went to war, leaving her with five children in Sterling, Ill.
They came, with the family, to Kansas in 1874 where her husband died April 16, 1887, since which time she has made her home with her daughters until her death, February 25.
She was confined to her bed one month before death, at the home of her eldest daughter, Mrs. Wm. Lamb, near Pleva.
She leaves six children to mourn her loss: Mrs. Wm. Lamb, Plevna; Mrs. I. Johnson, Sterling; Mrs. Alice Funk, Wichita; Mrs. C.A. Smith, Wichita; Wm. Caldwell, Hugoton, and Ben Caldwell, Culdesac, Idaho. All were with her during her last illness and death.
She had been a member of the Methodist church since 1864. She bore her great suffering with loving patience and fortitude until death came to take her to her reward.
