Daniel W. Caldwell - Daniel W. Caldwell, member of the board of county commissioners of Fayette county and the proprietor of a fine farm in Harrison township, where he now resides, was born on that farm and has lived there all his life. He was born on July 25, 1860, youngest son of Samuel and Mary (Parrish) Caldwell, further and extended mention of whose history and ancestry is made elsewhere in this volume.
After his father's death in June, 1896, Daniel W. Caldwell bought the interests of the other heirs in the paternal estate and is now the owner of a well-improved farm of one hundred and eighteen acres in section 34 of Harrison township, about two miles north of the village of Harrisburg. He has been a lifelong farmer and has been quite successful in his operations. In addition to his farming, for the past thirty years he has been the owner and operator of a threshing-machine rig and is widely known throughout this part of the country. Though he still owns the threshing outfit, he has not personally operated the same for the past three years, turning the same over to his nephews, who are running it for him. Mr. Caldwell has been an active Democrat from the time he could vote and has ever given his earnest attention to local political affairs. In 19 13 he was elected a member of the board of county commissioners from his district and is now serving in that capacity. During Mr. Caldwell's incumbency in that office fine new buildings have been erected at the county infirmary and much has been done by the county in the way of bettering the highways. Commissioner Caldwell is an energetic and public-spirited citizen and believes in promoting public improvements in every proper way.
Daniel W. Caldwell was united in marriage to Mary P. Cole, who also was born in Harrison township, this county, daughter of Alfred G. and Mary P. (Emerson) Cole, further mention of whom is made elsewhere in this volume. Alfred G. Cole was born on April 5, 1838, while his parents were on their way from Maryland to Indiana and his early childhood was spent in Wayne county, this state. His parents, Joseph and Patience Cole, later moved down into Fayette county and settled on a farm in Waterloo township, where he grew to manhood on the old Cole homestead, east of Waterloo. He was thrice married, his first wife having been Rhoda Harlan, to which union two daughters were born, Mrs. L. G. Henry and Mrs. Shaffner. A few years after the death of his first wife, Alfred G. Cole married Mrs. Mary P. (Emerson) Roby, of Brownsville, and to that union two children were born, Joseph Cole, of Indianapolis, and Mrs. Caldwell. Following the death of the mother of these children Mr. Cole married Matilda Fiant and to that union five children were born, Kate, Bertha, John, Charles and one who died in childhood. About twenty-five years ago Alfred G. Cole moved from this county to Casey, Illinois, where he spent the rest of his life, his death occurring on June 2, 1913, he then being seventy-five years of age.
To Daniel W. and Mary P. (Cole) Caldwell three children have been born, namely: Russell Ward, who died at the age of two years and six months; Elsie M., who married Walter Ray, of Connersville, and has two children, Esther and Mary, and Glenn Alfred, who is at home. The Caldwells have a very pleasant home and have ever taken a proper part in the general social activities of the community in which they live. Mr. Caldwell is a member of the local aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles and of the local lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose and in the affairs of both of these organizations takes a warm interest.
