Obituary of a Civil War Veteran

        John F. Caldwell, one of the pioneer settlers of Hanging Rock and for many years engaged in furnace work, passed away early yesterday afternoon at his home, aged 88 years. Mr. Caldwell was a veteran of the Civil War and was a member of Co. I., Second Kentucky Cavalry. He was one of the best known men of this section and was a member of Dick Lambert, Post, G. A. R., of this city. Mr. Caldwell spent most of his life in this vicinity and was actively engaged until a few years ago. His death was due to infirmities of age.

        The deceased is survived by three daughters, Mrs. A. C. Rutledge of Portsmouth, Mrs. Chas. Kemp of Miamisburg, Ohio, and Mrs. Friedel, wife of Dr. Friedel of Memphis, Tenn.

        The funeral services which will probably be under the auspices of the G. A. R. have not yet been announced. Gholson and Sons will have charge of the services.
