THE INDIANAPOLIS GROCER,
The Remarkable Story of how he was
Paid One Million Dollars for his Claim
ts Property i'm New York.


From the Indianapolis Sentinel, June2I
Henry w. Caldwell, the well known for.
mer Indiana avenue commission merchant,
residing at No. Us West Michigan street
has just turned page in the chapter of his
history that seems more like fiction than
sober truth. Late in the seventeenth CEN
fury his great grandfather came to this
country and settled in New York State, and
purchased in what is now the heart of the
city OF New York eight acres of land, upon
which he built a mill. On the occupancy
of that city he was driven out and the mill
taken possession of by the British soldiery.
Afterward he leased the property and
moved into New Jersey. This real estate
since that time has been transferred time
and again, but always by lease, inasmuch
as clear title could not be given.
Mr. Caldwelfs ancestors seem to have
neglected their interest, and in the course
OF time to have forgotten all about it. Some
three years since the indianapolis Caldwell
discovered clue that finally led to the es-
adjustment of his claim as one of the leral
heirs to that property. With his customary
tact and perseverance he set to work TO
gather up what evidence was necessary.
and so successful was the search that last
week he started for New York city with all
the material needful to make his title good
Upon arrival there he laid his claim before
some influential lawyers, and through them
a proposition was made TO the holders of
this estate-Vanderbilt. one of the Astors
and others-tO give them a quit claim to his
interest for Sl,000.000. This proposition
was taken under Amusement BY them, and
MIR. Caldwell thereupon started for home.
BY the time he had arrived at Niagara Falls
telegram was received here by his wife
from the New York parties, accepting the
terms proposed. This was forwarded to
Mr.. Caldwell, who returned to New York,
made over quit claim received the money.
and now holds certificates of deposit for
81 ,O00,0O5 III some of the national banks of
that CITY,
There are still other heirs to this property
that these New York men will have to ..see"
before they can have perfect title They
only purchased Mr.. Caldwel's interest.
This gentleman, three years ago. requested
these heirs to unite with him and make up
a pony purse for the prosecution of their
claims. They refused, believing it useless,
and therefore Mr.. Caldwell has all the more
credit for the pertinacity with which he fol-
lowed up an undertaking that at first looked
almost hopeless.
Most certainly there is a happy family on
West Michigan street. Mr. Caldwell is the
of Captain North, having mar
RED, years since, his only daughter. Both
husband and wife possess large hearts and
benevolent minds, and doubtless will use
this great gift which has come to them in a
manner beneficial to themselves and TO

stance Mr.. Caldwell clearly and fully estab-
lished the record to the property, the lease
ON which expired in 1868. He made another
proposition, this time to the persons oceu-
plying the eight acres, offering to sell his IN
dividuai interest and the papers in his pos
session for $l,000,000. After examining
Mr. Caldwelrs papers and the records, the
gentlemen, through their agent, agreed to
the terms, and on last Friday Mr.. Caldwell
left for New York to close up the transfer.
Yesterday he returned home, having in his
possession the authority of the occupants
to draw ON them for 81 900, 0O0
Mr.. Caldwell says that after arranging
his business matters in this city, he will
spend the rest of his days in Kentucky.
which is the native State of himself and
wife. He takes his good fortune very con
siderately, but says he is on the hunt for
more. While in New York he learned of
two hundred acres in Harlem that was in
the possession of John COsine at the time of
the lease of the eight acres referred to
above, and he is satisfied that he can work
out full and satisfactory claim to a posses
sion of that property. If he does, and he
speaks as though he believed it, Cornelius
Vanderbilt will have to pay him the balance
of the purchase money on his famous Har-
lem freight depot.

Two Hundred Acres in Harlem Wanted
LErnIn tI.e I.di La..-..-l

From the Indianapolis Journal June27
Indianapolis is steadily keeping pace
| with her sister cities in the matter of first
class sensations. The last we have to
chronicle is one IN reference to a settlement
of some New York property, BY which Mr.
II. w. Caldwell, a we'll known grocer of
this city, becomes possessed of {. cool
million. The following is brief history of
the case:
For the past thirty or forty wears the
relatives of Mr.. Caldwell have been identi-
tied with the movement of the Anneke Jams
heirs to obtain possession of the Trinity
Church property. They based their ex-
pectations upon the fact that one or two
Annekes are in the family and some deeds.
leases and other papers that have be en-
handed down through the family. Finally
they all became disguised and gave up the
clalin, refusing to have anything further to
do with the matter. These papers came
into the possession of Mr. Caldwell. and
when he received letter from an uncle in
the South saying that representative of
the Anneke Jams heirs had called upon him
for information which he was supposed to
possess IN reference to the claim. he turned
his whole attention to the matter of looking
up the record. He finally became con
WINGED that the papers he held were of the
greatest value to Trinity Church corpora
ton. and accordingly, about five years
since, he made proposition to the trus-
tees to sell them for $lO0, 000 which was re-
fused.
Mr.. Caldwell then made another exam
ination, and discovered that the papers he
held referred to eight acres of land imme-
diately adjoining the Trinity church prop
erty, fronting on Fulton street and Broad
way. Further examination showed that in
the year 1873 John Cosine, his great-grand-
father, leased the property for ninety nine
years, previous to removing to Pennsyl-
vania. In leases of this kind, seldom is
anything heard of the property again by the
heirs OF the original owner, but in this in.
