HOIT. D. P. CALDWELL MAn.
Another of thai Old Landmarks of
Greensboro Passes Away.
Hon. D. F.Caldwell died at his home
in 'this city Thursday evening at 8
o'clock. "Uncle Frank," as he was af
fectionately known, had been in fail
ing health for a number of years, being
afflicted with some spinal trouble.
Some months ago he suffered a partial
stroke of paralysis, his strong consti
tution enabling him to recover! from
this somewhat, though his age and In
creasing infirmity precluded any per
manent improvement. For some time
he was unable to walk, though he
would take occasional drives, attended
by his nurse. A few days previous to
his death he suffered, a second stroke
of paralysis, from which he never ral
lied. Wednesday he sank into a state
of unconsciousness, in which he re
mained until the summons of death
came as a welcome relief to his suffer
ing. The funeral was held from' the
First Presbyterian church Saturday at
2.30, and the remains laid to rest In the
burying ground of Buffalo church,
where many of his ancestors sleep.
In the passing away of Mr. Caldwell
Greensboro loses one of its oldest and
most honored inhabitants, for, since
the early history of the town, he had
been a prominent f actor in its upbuild-1
tag and development. His means were
freely invested in many substantial
business enterprises of the city, and
his opinion and advice upon business
matters were often sought. It was
through; his efforts that the Bank o?
Guilford was organized and put in
successful operation. He was Its larp
gfest stockholder, and president of the
institution until a few weeks ago,
when he was . forced to resign on ac
count of ill health. J
Mr. Caldwell was much in public
Ife, as will be seen from a short biog
raphy following this article. On nu
merous occasions he was called to the
eadershlp of his party, always winning
he respect and confidence of tbe peo
ple by his sterling honesty and manly !
ndependence. Previous to the Civil
war he was an uncompromising Whig,
serving his party as a representative
in the legislature for several terms.
After the war he. allied himself with
the Democratic party, developing into
a trusted leader and one of its strong
est advocates. . 'S
For a time he was editor of the Pa-
i I
tbiot, and our older readers rememDer
with what ability and success he con
ducted the paper. He was a ripe
scholar, a vigorous thinker, and a
strong and original writer. j I
He was an earnest christian and a
devout member of the Presbyterian
church. Never bigoted or selfish, he
believed in and. practiced practical
Christianity in- its broadest sense.
Those in the poorer and humbler walks
of life werj the special objects of his
care and kindness, and many acts of
charity and benevolence were tracea
ble to him. Mr. Caldwell was one Of
those rare characters who delighted
not in having his praises sung to the
world, and it was because of this trait
of modesty that many people never
knew of his widespread benevolence.:
Mr. Caldwell was never married, his
nearest relatives being two nieces-
Misses Settle and Pattie Caldwell
who lived with him, and nephews, who
reside in Tennessee. Through his wise
and prudent Investments he succeeded
in accumulating a large fortune, being
one of the wealthiest men in Greens
boro. . . . ' . !
David Franklin Caldwell, eon (of
.
Thomas and Elizabeth Caldwell, was
born one mile west of tbe city of
Greensboro, N.C., Guilford county on
the 5th day of November. 1814. Ills
narents removed to Greensboro when
he was but one year old, and his
scholastic training was obtained in the
aahools of this citv. For a time the
worked on his father's farm, and in
1811 left the farm to enter the mer
cantile business in Greensboro, and
continued in that enterprise until
1819. In 1818 he was elected to the
house of representatives of the State
and was re-elected for five successive
terms, onlj retiring in 186L j In I8G9
ho becran the study of law,, and one
year later was admitted to the bar.
He practiced at Greensboro until the
new code was adopted. I when he aban
doned his nrofesaiou in disznst. j In
1861 he was elected county attorney
and served until his retirement from
the law. He was a delegate to jthe
constitutional convention of 1865, and
in the same year was nominated'; for
ConCTesss. but was counted out by GenJ
Haribv. at Charleston. S. C. ! In 1872
he was a delegate to the convention
that nominated Greeley and Brown
for the presidency and vice-presidency;
respectively, of the UnitedrStatesj and
in 1879 was sent to the State Senate,
where he remained one term, and, in
tbe same year was appointed a mem
ber or the committee chosen to com
tiromisa the State debt. Mr. Cald
well's course as a member of tbe legis
lature was dignified and able. In 1848
he framed, mnd had passed a7 tax bill,
revolutionizing the tax sysbam 0! the
State, and despite the hlttrof v-
sltion, finally brought his measure into
so great favor with the rjeonla that he
was practically their unanimous choice,
for the legislature until his voluntary
retirement from public life. He was
more than prominent in the organi
zation and building of the North Caro
lina railroad, and was a prime mover
in j the establishment of. the Greens
boro & Cheraw and Caoe Fear A Yad.
kin Valley railroads.
1 At the outbreak of the Civil war,
Mr. Caldwell was engaged in a lucra
tive law practice with the late James
A. Long. He was opposed to secession,
and like many another Southerner who
proved loyal to his people when the
test came, yet foresaw too far into fu
ture to think that good could come of
the disruption of the Union. When
his State seceded David Caldwell went
wth tbe majority, and in 1861 en
listed in tbe Confederate army, he be
ing: at that time captain of Senior re
serves, but owing to the refusal of the
Governor to issue his commission, he
served as a private.' . He was refused a
captain's commission because of his
previous opposition to secession, and
because the Governor of the State had
doubts of'hls loyalty, j Mr. Caldwell
proved his love for his people, and his
name was vindicated by them when ha
was elected to the legislature by an
overwhelming majority. As financier,
Mr.jCaldwell was able and safe. He had
large landed ! interests, was a stock
holder in various railroad enterprises
iof the State, and was extensively in
terested I in different cotton factories.
In 18S9 he organized the Bank of
.Guilford, and was made its president,
which office he held until a few weeks
ago, resigning on account of his health.
Thomas Caldwell, the father of our
subject, was the - first j clerk of the Su
perior Court of Guilford county, hav
ing been first appointed to thai office
by Judge Duncan Cameron, at Mar- .
unsvuie, in louo. u or more tnan nity
years he discharged the duties of that
important office.

i The number of school subjects In tbe
county as per census 12,169 an Jn-
rease of 915 over last year, C00 of -
which increase was in tbe city of
Greensboro. Tbe amount of money
distributed is $18,500. Although this
Is larger by $500 than that received
from the county, yet as the state gave
$978 last year and nothing this year.
the total Is cot so large and the per
capita, In consequence of the increased
number of children, is about 13 cents
less than last year. 80 that most of
the townships fall off something in
amount, though the city schools gain
because of the large increase of school
population. ,
It is easily observable that as a rule
the towns increase while the country
merely holds its own. i If the Increase
of population had been distributed
uniformly over the county there would
have been about the same amounts ,
credited to the country districts as j
last year. The law requires tbe town-
ship committees to meet on tbe second
Monday In January; and redistribute
the money among the schools of their
respective districts, and the secretary
should report this distribution to the
supervisor as soon thereafter as prac
ticable. The number of tbe school dis
trict and not simply the local name
should be given.
