OBITUARY.
Stephen W. Cadwell.
The name at the head of this paper is probably an unfamiliar one to the great majority of the people of our city, but to those of us who can recollect back to the opening of the Erie canal, and to those earlier days of the village of Syracuse, Stephen W. Cadwell is well recollected as one of the pioneers engaged in building up the business of this now large and flourishing city. For many years he conducted a large trade in groceries, both alone and as partner with the late Paschal Thurber, and he was also associated with the late Jacob Raynor in the dry goods trade. He was a man of conspicuous mark among this fellows. He did much outside of his mercantile business to push along towards its growth and prosperity this, then village, now part of the city of Syracuse. He was for many years a prominent and working director in one the earliest banks, the Bank of Salina, originally located in the then village of Salina. He was largely engaged in the purchase and sale of real estate with the late Ashbel Kellogg, then cashier, afterward president of the bank. He was also largely interested in the manufacture of salt. He was among the earliest promoters of the First Presbyterian church in our city, and took a great interest in its welfare. Its pastor, the Rev. Dr. Adams, and he were great friends. Mr. Cadwell was an active, energetic man of business, upright and honest, and was well beloved by his fellow citizens who all regretted when circumstances required his removal over twenty years ago to Chicago, where he died a short time since, as honored and respected as here at the ripe old age of 93 years. He leaves a widow and two children, Mr. Elisha Cadwell of New York and Mrs. Tooker of Chicago, and a number of grandchildren, Mrs. Charles Hudson of our city being one of them. One who knew Mr. Cadwell in all his relations, both of business and socially, has deemed it fitting and proper, that he and his work among us who know his work and those who now live in this beautiful city, with its business energy and prosperity, should also know something of one of the departed founders of this, their home.
He was the village of Syracuse's president in 1829 (he was only 36), and was on the board of the Syracuse Fire Department and was an esteemed member of the community.
He lived in Syracuse from 1824 through about 1860, when he moved to Chicago, Illinois, and died in Hyde Park. His body was returned to Syracuse, New York where he is buried, first in Rose Hill Cemetery, then re-moved to Oakwood Cemetery.
