astrous conflagration that occur

istration was the burning of the
Charles c. Caldwell hardware
store and combined residence on
the site now occupied by the Free
Methodist church, on the corner
of Cumberland and Bridge
streets. This fire took place in a
winter temperature of far below
zero.
With the purchase of a new
Seagrave fire engine by the
American Legion in 1927, the
Caldwell Colunteer Fire Depart
ment began a climb to its pre-
sent day status.
When members of the Ameri-
can Legion, with Harry Rich

duties of fire department, they
had at their disposal an old
Model T Ford, two hose carts
and ladder wagon.

county jail, to the former state
highway department building on
USR 81. Frank Tarleton was
appointed to head the local COM
pany and served in that capacity
until August of 1856.
The moving of the department
to new headquarters served as a
spark to success. In October of
1858, the first fire school was
held under the direction of the
state fire marshal's office. In
1854 the present fire company
was organized and operating
officers were elected.
In that same year, the first
firemen's festival was held on
the department grounds. Mem
bership increased from ii to 20
men and planning began in
January to provide better and
bigger facilities for the COM
pany.
The Caldwell department was
instrumental in the organization
of the Southeastern Ohio Fire
mems Association in 1855. Robert
Ralston served as the first presi-
dent of the group which now
includes 18 companies, represent
ing seven counties.
Realizing that one pumper
and a small chemical truck
could not provide adequate
service for Caldwell and Noble
county, the department purchas-
ed a third vehicle. When the
second annual firemen's festival
was held on the village square
in 1855, the 500-gallon pumper
was nearing completion.

Caldwell Volunteer Fire Department Rated
As Communitys Most Efficient Since 1898

Starting in the l840s as a
mere settlement, really the out
skirts of Olive, and continuing
for many years as such, Cald-
well was only shadow of a viii
lage until the. early 1905 when
1t began to squirt forward into
a growing town. During all the
intervening years the only fire
protection afforded was that of
bucket brigade" composed of
men, women and children. Only
an occasional fire started from
a defective flue or sparks from
chimney falling upon a worn
shlngle roof-then all hands
went to work in extinguishing
the flames and usually sue
ceeded.
In the summer of the year
1897, Caldwell was visited by
two destructive conflagrations,
the worst in the history of the
village. The first on May s, was
the burning of the south side of
the public square, from the
southeast corner to the building
now occupied by the H. c. Jor-
dan store on Main street; the
second on June /, was the burn
ing of the entire block on the
north side of the square, except
the Marrow Gauge" depot in
the center of Spruce street. All
destroyed buildings have since
been rebuilt. These conflagra-
tions gave rise in 1898 to the in
stallation of the villages present
WaterWorks system.
This brought our village dads
to a realization of the fact that
Caldwell should have ample fire
protection and accordingly steps
were at once taken to provide
such protection and during the
summer months of 1898 all
necessary provisions had been
made-a one-horse water supply
secured and action was ready by
early fall.
Then followed the necessity of
the organization of a voluntary
fire department., which was
speedily accomplished with a
membership of some twenty
volunteers, with Port c. Baxter
as its chief. The equipment con-
sisted of 800 feet of fire hose, a
hook and ladder truck and a
homemade pump (by Charles S.
Currey) and operated like rail-
road hand-car.
Fire Chief Baxter moved with
his family from Caldwell late in
the fall of 1899 and Jess S.
Harris was elected chief by the
members of the department, who
served as such until 1927 when
it was taken over by the local
American Legion. The most dis

office in l941, not to retire until
1853.
One of the largest fires occur
red in January of 1945 while
McFerren was serving as fire
chief. The Caldwell Produce
Company burned and was big
factor in starting a movement
for a new and better truck.
At the next general election,
bond issue in the amount of
$4,000 was passed to purchase
fire engine and more modern
equipment. On October 27, 1947,
500-gallon pumper was obtain
ed.
One of the first organizational
meetings was held on September
IL, 1916. Officers were elected
and dues were paid as a meager
beginning of what has now be-
come a substantial treasury.
On March q, 1850, the old
Seagrave engine was sold to the
village of Macksburg and a small
Ford chemical truck was pur-
chased by the village council
One of the first runs made by
the truck was pillow factory fire
in McConnelsville under a
mutual contract agreement with
the Morgan county department.
Before McFerren retired as
chief, he witnessed the transfer
of the department in 1852, from
the old firehouse behind the

fourth engine was obtained to
provide a complete service of
trucks.
The members of the depart
ment are noted for their bravery,
heroism and quick response to
each call to duty. No better, nor
more efficient volunteer fire
department c9n be found in
Ohio or elsewhere than the one
right here in Caldwell.

Property Damage Mounts
In Ohio Auto Accidents

According to a report released
today by the Ohio Department
of Highways, Columbus, traffic
accidents and deaths in Ohio for
the first four months of 1857,
has slightly decreased over that
for 1856
Total traffic accidents num-
bered 50,630, 90 under the same
four month period last year
when 51,426 accidents had been
tabulated. Despite the slight
decrease in accidents, property
damage rose to $19 million, a
million dollars more than for
the first four months of last
year.
The report showed that more
accidents occurred during the
four-month period in the age
group of Is "a. The total for
that age group was 221.
