He was firm i'll his principles, always
ready to defend them, and we have eve

He was very hospitable and generous

death of Mr.. Caldwell, and with others
exceedingly regret the loss. AS he was

His death resulted from disease of the
stomach, physicians differing as to the
true nature of the disease. He was aged
about 81 years.
