CALDWELL, Columbia Jane NEPTUNE 1850 - 1908

Columbia Jane Neptune, daughter of Washington and Jane Neptune was born in 
Noble County, Ohio, March 30, 1850. She was married to William M. Caldwell 
August 2, 1866. To them were born seven children: Mrs. G. J. Hunt, Mrs. C. T. Long, 
Mrs. W. C. Drake, Albert, Ona and Ethel of the home. One son preceded her (in 
death) November 27, 1884, aged 4 years. Her children were at her bedside during 
the last days of her illness and death. With her husband she came to Pettis 
County, Mo. in November 1867. They moved to Henry County in March 1872, and 
here she lived, loved, and labored until the fell hand of disease lay upon her. She 
was converted at a camp meeting on the old Hunt camp meeting grounds, in the 
fall of 1876 and with her husband, united with the Methodist Episcopal Church. 
Besides the husband and children, she left 5 grandsons, two grand-daughters, two 
brothers and one sister with many other relatives and friends to mourn her loss. 
She was quiet in her life and gave herself wholly to her home. "Her children rise 
up and call her Blessed." For over a year before she left us, she suffered more 
than we can know, but she bore it very patiently. She said she did not fear death, 
but she did dread the pain, the suffering and that it was hard to leave the loved 
ones. Towards the last she said she would not be with us long and again she said 
it seemed so long because of her physical weakness and pain, but shortly she 
drifted away and at 9:30 on Friday morning, December 4, 1908, her spirit left the 
body that is mortal, to be clothed in immortality. Funeral services were held at 
the White Oak Church, Sunday at 11 a.m. by Dr. Carter of Appleton City after 
which the remains were taken to the cemetery and laid to await the resurrection 
morn.
