He succeeded his father in the management of the American Hotel at Albany. In the notice of his death, the Albany Journal said: "Those of our readers whose memories can carry them back to the good times when DeWitt Clinton was governor of this State will remember Caleb N. Bement. He kept a well-ordered house on Green Street near State, which was the resort of all the leading politicians of that day, and where all the good things to eat and drink were to be found. Quiet and unassuming, he was esteemed by all, and looked upon as a highly important citizen. Several years since he left this city and took up his residence in Poughkeepsie, where he resided up to the moment of his death, which occurred after a lingering illness." He was buried in the Poughkeepsie Cemetery, as were many of his family.
Caleb Bement first married (1) Harriet Hobbie Holmes, and after her death, he married her younger sister, (2) Caroline Blumy Holmes from which he had issue from both. In later years he married for a final time, (3) Susan E. Pierce, who survived him. Harriet was born 22 Nov 1791in Greenfield, Franklin Co., New York and died 29 Jul 1823 in Albany, Albany Co., New York.
