**********************************************************************

Samuel H. Caldwell, retired farmer and merchant of Henderson, Mo., was
born in Lee county, Va., November 30, 1833.  His father, Samuel Cald-
well, was a Kentuckian, but was reared, educated and married in 
Virginia, the latter event being to Miss Eliza Cissel, of Virginia. In
1840 they came to Greene county, Mo., where they reared their family 
and spent the greater part of their remaining days, the father's death
occurring in Henderson about 1875.  Samuel H. Caldwell remained with
his father until eighteen years of age, and March 17, 1853, was married
in Webster county, Mo., to Miss Sidney C. Caldwell, a daughter of Col.
Andrew Caldwell, who died at Chester, Ill., having served in the War of
1812.  Mr. Caldwell first located in Cole county, Ill., but in 1856 
came to Henderson, and the following year opened a tan yard, which 
business he had learned in boyhood, and followed this occupation until
1864.  He owned all the land where the town of Henderson now is, and
assisted in laying out the town, the first store being built about 1868
by A. T. Graves, Dr. Allen and Mr. Caldwell.  The latter has served as
county assessor and justice of the peace, and during the late war he
served in the State Militia, being called out on two or three occas-
sions.  His wife is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and 
their union has been blessed in the birth of the following children:
W. S., a farmer of Webster county, Mo.; Frederick J., a dentist, and
Ollie J., who resides with her parents.
