 In the passing of Mrs. CalderwooJ
 this city and county loses a most es-
 timable woman and one of it's earliest
 pioneers. She was of decided charac-
 ter. firm and loyal friend. good
 neighbor, and d devoted wife and
 mother. She was q wide reader and
 though not participating in public af- fairs was always deeply interested in whatever was undertaken for the bet torment of the race and the community and well posted in political and civic affairs. Mrs. CalderwoOd was a ;laugh- ter of the late Judge Tweed who or ganized and presided over the first court ever held in Maricopa county. many years ago. Though of New Eng lcilih SlbN h d.lN E0NDlCil dHtNSltN lllt Tweed family lived for a time in Flor ida where Mrs. Calderwood was born in the town of Milton. near Pensacola. in 1S45. Tn 1851 the family moved to California and has been unidentified with that state and Arizona ever since
 In May of 1870 Miss Tweed was married in Sacramento to Captain M H. CalderwOod who had been in Ari- zona with the union forces during the civil war. One daughter. Miss Flor ence, was born to them in Auburn. California, and in 1872 tine family came to Phoenix arriving October 15. Since that time it's home has been contin- uOusly in this county, a part of the time on the farm home or at the stage station on the desert lines that ran north in the older days. Mrs Calder wood was d woman of pronounced charitable impulses and it is said of her that no hungry person was ever turned from her door unsatisfied. whatever her own larder and regard less of his doubtful worthiness. If she were imposed upon it was her be- lief that she suffered less than he who may have abused her generosity.
 Since coming to this county two were added to the union Mrs. H. A. Jones of this city and Martin IT. CalderwoOd Jr.. now employed as an assayer in the cement works at Fl Paso. When his mothers illness became apparently fatal he was sent q .-r,. bedside was surrounded by her hus- band and all three of her children. She was a sister also of the late II. ] 4. Tweed and the late Mrs Olive Daw- ley. A surviving sister. Mrs Emily Aubury. of Bard. California. is also here.
 When Captain and Mrs. Calderwood 1 came to Phoenix there was not a glass window. board floor or shingle l grow from that humble beginning to ! it's present dignity as the capital of | promising state. Of the women who | lived in Phoenix in those days she was | the fourth to survive to the present l time in continuous residence. or SO far | as known to survive anywhere. The ! others still living are Mrs. C. H. Gray, !! Mrs. John osborn senior and Mrs. Will l nam Osborn. In the passing of Mrs 1 however, there are many | women of later day and many men | among both the pioneers and the later | residents who will revere her memory | as that of one deserving of the high | est encomiums.
