Scott E. Caldwell, son of Enoch Caldwell and Sarah Jane Scott Caldwell, married Evelyn M. Stone on December 24, 1901. Their three children were Joseph L. Caldwell, Mark Stone Caldwell, and Helen Louise Caldwell.
"Scott E. Caldwell Scott E. Caldwell, one of Harrison township's best-known and most progressive young farmers and the proprietor of beautiful 'Caldwell Home Farm' in the southwest quarter of section 33 of that township, a tract that has been in the possession of the Caldwells from the days of the beginning of settlement hereabout, is a native son of Fayette county and has lived here all his life. He was born on a farm in section 32 of Harrison township, the place now occupied by Cleve Caldwell, March 24, 1881, son of Enoch and Sarah Jane (Scott) Caldwell, both now deceased, who also were natives of Indiana, the former born in this county and the latter in the neighboring county of Wayne. Enoch Caldwell was born on the pioneer farm now owned and occupied by his son, the subject of this sketch, October 27, 1833, son of Joseph and Asenath (Powell) Caldwell, the former of whom was born in Preble county, Ohio, August 15, 1809, a son of Joseph and Miriam Caldwell, natives of North Carolina and members of the Society of Friends, who became numbered among the earliest settlers of this county and here spent their last days. The elder Joseph Caldwell was a son of James Caldwell, who was born in 1749, and who, in company with his son came over into Indiana Territory in the winter of 1811-12, locating in Fayette county, where for a time the Caldwell family found protection against the threatened depredations of the Indians in the old block house that had been established on the present site of the city of Connersville. On August 31, 1813, Joseph Caldwell entered from the government a tract of 'congress land' in the southwest quarter of section 33 of Harrison township and there established his home, he and his wife spending their last days there, active and influential pioneer residents of that part of the county. Their son, Joseph, was about four years of age when they settled on that homestead tract and there he grew to manhood, thoroughly familiar with pioneer conditions of living, and in turn established his home on that farm, remaining a farmer and stockman and becoming prominent and influential in the affairs of that neighborhood. He was several times elected to offices of public trust and in many ways made his influence manifest for good. He cast his first Presidential vote for General Jackson and voted with the Whigs until the formation of the Republican party, when he became an earnest adherent of the principles of that party and so remained the rest of his life. As a member of the Baptist church he took an active part in church work and was an earnest promoter of all agencies designed to advance the common good in this community during his generation. He died on October 5, 1894, and was buried in Lick Creek cemetery. Joseph Caldwell was twice married. On January 31, 1833 he was united in marriage to Asenath Powell, and to that union four children were born, Enoch, Martha, who married Buel J. Thomas, Caroline and Alexander. The mother of these children died on November 3, 1844, and on October 7, 1847, Joseph Caldwell married Salenah Saxon, who was born in this state and who survived him, and to that union two children were born, Horace F. and Alice, the latter of whom married Homer M. Broaddus. Following the death of Joseph Caldwell in 1894 a local newspaper remarked that 'he was widely known and respected. In his death one of Fayette county's oldest and best citizens is lost.' Enoch Caldwell, eldest son of the junior Joseph Caldwell, grew to manhood on the farm on which he was born and in his young manhood taught school for several terms, teaching both before and after his marriage and doing much to advance the cause of education in this community. After his marriage in 1864 he lived for a few years on the farm now occupied by Cleve Caldwell, in section 32 of Harrison township, and then moved to a farm two miles south of Bentonville, but after awhile moved back to the place where he had begun keeping house and there he and his wife spent the remainder of their lives. Enoch Caldwell was a good farmer and also did much to promote the raising of pure-bred live stock, giving much attention to his Poland China hogs and registered cattle. He died in 1884 and his widow survived him until March 11, 1895. On May 17, 1864, Enoch Caldwell was united in marriage to Sarah Jane Scott, who was born in the neighborhood of Jacksonburg, in Wayne county, this state, well-known residents of that community, and to that union five children were born, of whom the subject of this sketch was the last-born, the others beings as follows: Cora, who married L. K. Tingley; Sylvia, who first married Wellington Beeson and after his death she married Omer Donicher; Myrtle, now deceased, who was Omer Donicher's first wife, and Alice, who married Fred. Hackleman. Scott E. Caldwell was about three years of age when his father died and afer the death of his widowed mother in1895, he then being about fourteen years of age, he made his home for some years with his sister, Mrs. Sylvia Beeson. Before reaching his majority he married and began farming for himself on the farm where he was born and where he remained until in May, 1914, when he moved to his present beautiful home, 'Caldwell Home Farm,' the place entered from the government by his great-grandfather, Joseph Caldwell, the senior, in 1813, and the sheep-skin deed attesting that transfer is now in his possession. Mr. Caldwell is the owner of one hundred and fifty-eight acres of 'Caldwell Home Farm' and a tract of fifty-three acres cornering the same, and is regarded as one of the substantial farmers of that part of the county. He brings to his farming operations modern methods of agriculture and is doing very well, both in his general farming and in his stock raising. On December 24, 1901, Scott E. Caldwell was united in marriage to Evelyn M. Stone, who also was born in Harrison township, a daughter of Edwin M. and Indiana (White) Stone, and who completed her schooling at Purdue University, where she took an agricultural course, including domestic science and kindred subjects, and is an admirable helpmate to her husband in the operation of the home farm. Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell had three children, Joseph L., Mark Stone, who died August 13, 1908; and Helen Louise. They have a very pleasant home and take a proper part in the general social activities of the community in which they live, helpful in promoting all movements having to do with the advancement of the common welfare."
