COL. DANIEL CALDWELL DEAD
Former Punxsutawney Resident and Veteran of Civil War Expires Following Operation.
Daniel Caldwell, of South Jefferson Street, yesterday received a letter from his aunt, Mrs. Daniel Caldwell, of New York City, notifying him of the death of her husband, Col. Daniel Caldwell, uncle of Daniel Caldwell, of this place.
Col. Caldwell, who was a native of Punxsutawney, and has many relatives living here, died July 24, aged seventy-six years, following an operation.
Col. Caldwell who served through the Civil War as a surgeon of the 62nd Pa. Volunteers, did not marry until shortly after he visited Punxsutawney about five years ago, being about seventy-one years old when he joined the ranks of the benedicts. Of his wife his relatives here knew but little until the letter announcing her husband's death arrived.
Of his three brothers, John and James, both deceased, were well known here, and a sister, Mrs. Andrew J. Wilkins still resides in Big Run. He was the son of Josiah Caldwell, one of the pioneers of Punxsutawney, and the most famous blacksmith of the early days in this section.
Col. Caldwell began life as a carpenter, learning his trade with J.E. Schrader. In 1848 he built the house which is now the homestead of 'Squire James A. Minish, who, perhaps, knew him more intimately than any other man in Punxsutawney. The dwelling was erected for Robert W. Winslow, deceased, a cousin of Hon. R.C. Winslow, of this place.
Subsequently Daniel Caldwell took up the profession of school teacher, having conducted several terms in the old building which stood on the southern part of what is now known as the Public Park.
Later he became a clerk in the drug store of Dr. A.J. Johnston, and upon entering the army was soon sent to headquarters where he served with distinction during the entire conflict. After the war he was retained in the service and only a few years ago was put on the retired list with the rank of Colonel.
His brother, James, saw service in the 62nd regiment, but died soon after being mustered out.
Since the close of the Civil War it had been his custom to spend his vacations with James A. Minish and other friends and relatives of this place, until his marriage in New York about five years ago.
Mr. Minish speaks in the highest terms of praise of his former associate, whom he regarded as one of the most loyal upright and worthy men who went out during the dark days of the Rebellion.
