WILLIAM ANTHONY AND EDWARD HARRISON CALDWELL
William
A. and Edward H. Caldwell, worthy representatives of one of the best and most
high esteemed family of Siskiyou County, were born in this county September 25,
1869, and June 9, 1878, respectively, and have always resided here. They are the sons of Andrew Jackson and Leona
(Arbaugh) Caldwell, who are represented elsewhere in this work.
William
A. Caldwell attended the public schools of his home neighborhood, which were
then somewhat limited in their methods and equipment, and also attend Brown’s
Business College at Galesburg, Illinois.
He gave his attention to ranching until 1905, when he entered a
veterinary college, from which he was graduated. He has since given his attention mainly to
that profession, and has long enjoyed a large practice throughout this section
of the county. He is a member of the
American Veterinary Association and is highly regarded because of his learning
and skill as a veterinarian. He makes
his home with his brother Edward H., in the Edgewood district.
Edward
H. Caldwell, who also received his early education in the local schools, has
always followed farming and is now living on a well improved ranch which he
rents from Richard Cavanaugh, and which he operates according to modern
methods. Mr. Caldwell married Miss
Callie Belle Rucker and is the father of two children, Harold, who has the
agency for a sewing machine company in Oakland, California, and Willard, at
home. William A. and Edward H. Caldwell
are numbered among the substantial men of the Edgewood district and have always
given their support to such movements as have been initiated for the public
good. They are both lovers of outdoor
life, hunting and fishing being their favorite forms of recreation. They enjoy a wide acquaintance and are
deservedly popular throughout the section of the valley in which they live.
