C., Nov. 17th, 1832, after an illness of five weeks, borne with the utmost resignation, in the 28th year of his age, the REV. ROBERT LINDSAY CALDWELL, pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Fourth Creek. THE REV. ROBERT L. CALDWELL was the second son of the REV. SAMUEL C. CALDWELL, late pastor of the Presbyterian congregation of Sugar Creek in Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, N. C. and grandson of the REV. DAVID CALDWELL of Guilford County, so well-known throughout the churches of North Carolina, who died a few years ago at the advanced age of 100. Our departed brother received his collegiate education at Athens, Georgia, and pursued his theological studies at the Union Seminary, Prince Edward County, Va. during the life of the lamented DR. RICE. In the autumn of 1828 he was licensed by the presbytery of Concord, to preach the everlasting Gospel, and after itinerating to some extent in this state, he was invited by the congregation of Fourth Creek to labor among them. In September 1831, he was ordained and installed a pastor of that congregation; and in short space of a year, in the midst of his growing usefulness, he was called by the Great Head of the Church, to the more exalted and holy employments of the heavenly world. The disease which terminated his existence here was a fever, which deprived him of the full exercise of his mental faculties during a great part of the time.
