Married on May 17, 1864 in In.


Enoch Caldwell, eldest son of the junior Joseph Caldwell, grew to manhood on the farm on which he was born and in his young manhood taught school for several terms, teaching both before and after his marriage and doing much to advance the cause of education in this community. After his marriage in 1864 he lived for a few years on the farm now occupied by Cleve Caldwell, in section 32 of Harrison township, and then moved to a farm two miles south of Bentonville, but after awhile moved back to the place where he had begun keeping house and there he and his wife spent the remainder of their lives. Enoch Caldwell was a good farmer and also did much to promote the raising of pure-bred live stock, giving much attention to his Poland China hogs and registered cattle. He died in 1884 and his widow survived him until March 11, 1895.

On May 17, 1864, Enoch Caldwell was united in marriage to Sarah Jane Scott, who was born in the neighborhood of Jacksonburg, in Wayne county, this state, well-known residents of that community, and to that union five children were born, of whom the subject of this sketch was the last-born, the others being as follows: Cora, who married L. K. Tingley; Sylvia, who first married Wellington Beeson and after his death she married Omer Donicher; Myrtle, now deceased, who was Omer Donicher's first wife, and Alice, who married Fred Hackleman.

Scott E. Caldwell was about three years of age when his father died and after the death of his widowed mother in 1895, he then being a but fourteen years of age, he made his home for some years with his sister, Mrs. Sylvia Beeson.
