Virginian-Pilot, Volume 2, Number 78, 1 January 1899, P.12
HON. D. H CALDWELL, PAYS NATURE'S DEBT.

  Greensboro, N. C, Dec. 31-Hon. D. H. Caldwell, died Friday night at 8 o'clock 
after an. illness of over a year. He was stricken with paralysis several months 
ago, and had a second stroke a few days ago.

  Mr. Caldwell was one of the best known men in North Carolina in his earlier 
manhood and while somewhat eccentric, he was always conscientious and generally 
right in his stand on public questions. He was a founder and the heaviest 
stockholder in the Bank of Guilford.

   He was never married, and his nearest relatives are two nieces and a nephew. 
He leaves a large estate; how large is not known, but it is thought he was one 
of the wealthiest men in Greensboro.

   Mr. Caldwell was elected to the House of Representatives of this State for 
five successive years and was elected to Congress, but was counted out by Canby 
in South Carolina.

  He was a delegate to the convention that nominated Greenly and Brown for the 
Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the United States in 1872, and in 1873 was 
elected to the State Senate.

  He was one of the prime movers in the movement that established the Cape Fear 
and Yadkin Valley railroad.
