David Caldwell, Esq.,

A prominent Huntingdon lawyer, died suddenly of heart failure in Tyrone 
a few minutes after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon.  He had been in poor 
health all winter, his heart being weak in consequence of a severe 
attack of grip.  He returned to Tyrone from Hollidaysburg, where he had 
been attending to legal business on Tuesday evening, and remained over 
night at the house of Miss Lillie Gates, of whose father's estate he 
was the executor.  After dinner yesterday he left the house with the 
intention of taking the train for Huntingdon, but fell down on the 
street.  He was assisted to A.? J. Mattern's store and died before a 
physician could be summoned.  David Caldwell was born at Water Street, 
Huntingdon county, sixty-five years ago.  He was admitted to the bar in 
Huntingdon county in January, 1857, and as a legal adviser he has been 
among the leading and most respected in his county.  His estate is 
valued at about $60,000.  He was never married.  He is survived by one 
brother, Israel C. Caldwell, of Tyrone, and one sister, Mrs. Hannah 
Tabler, of Minooka, Grundy county, Iowa; one step-brother, Samuel D. 
Caldwell, of Washington, and one step-sister, Mrs. A. W. Greene, of 
Clar?, Iowa.  The remains will be interred at Shade Gap, Huntingdon 
county, probably on Saturday.
