3obn Civing (Tal6wdl The subject of the following sketch is a living proof that preachers and teachers, as well as poets, are “born not made,” for President Caldwell is a descendant of a long line of eminent preachers and educators. The first of the name to become prominent in North Carolina was David Caldwell, D.D., a graduate of Princeton, who came to Guilford County, N. C., from Lancaster County, Pa., and was elected the first president of the State University. He declined this perilous honor and continued his private life as head master of his own private school, preacher, physician, farmer and member of the first Constitutional Convention—a man of intellect, culture, force and wide influence. He married at Sugar Creek, Rachel Craighead, a daughter of that Alexander Craig- head, whose name is still honored as that of a great teacher, preacher and leader of men. Among the children born to them was Samuel Craighead Caldwell. Rev. S. C. Caldwell became pastor of the flourishing congregation of his grandfather, Alexander Craighead, at Sugar Creek. He established a mission, where he preached once a month, at the village of Charlotte. He served these two churches during the whole of his ministry of 35 years, and the First Presbyterian church with its group of growing daughters is a witness to the faithfulness and success of his service. He married ( 1 ) Abigail Bain Alexander, daughter of John McMinn Alexander, (2) Elizabeth Lindsay, daughter of Col. Robert Lindsay. Among the children born of the second marriage was John McKuitt Madison Caldwell, who followed his father into the ministry after being graduated from the University of Georgia and the Union Theological Seminary, Virginia. J. M. M. Caldwell became pastor at Sugar Creek church, stated supply of the First Church in Charlotte, pastor in Rome, Ga., and it was in Rome that he turned his attention to the larger education of young women and became president of Rome Female College. When Sherman turned the college into barracks and stables in 1 863, Dr. Caldwell came to the presidency of Concord Female College at Statesville, N. C., then to that of Edge- worth Seminary, Greensboro. When his confiscated property in Rome was returned to him in 1871 he returned to his school in that city and remained there until his retirement in 1888. Fie died in his 81st year, honored and beloved. Dr. Caldwell married at Sugar Creek, Carolina Elizabeth Livy of Wolfboro, N. H.. who was graduated from the celebrated Emma Willard Seminary, Troy, N. Y. In those early times the South drew heavily on the North for its teachers, and Miss Livy was one of the many cultured, intellectual young women who accepted positions as governess in families of wealth and social position living out of reach of the few schools then in the state. After her marriage to the young pastor at Sugar Creek they conducted a school which was of wide benefit to the community, and she served as lady principal of the several colleges which were under her husband’s direction, and there are many Southern women who bear witness to her beauty of person, elegance of manner, her well trained mind and merit as a disciplinarian. John Living, the third son of his parents, was born in Rome, Ga., prepared for Prince- ton College by Samuel J. Stevens, a graduate of Dartmouth. After four years at Princeton
