Monroe Gazette September 10, 1891 In Memoriam. On the 31st of July George Caldwell, Esq., an esteemed citizen of Green township; in his 63d year ended his earthly life. For the last 16 years his health had been feeble--the last few weeks serious trouble of heart affection. In his 25th year he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Jane Felconer. The fruit of their marriage union was eleven children--eight of which, with their mother, survive him. In his 27th year he united in Christian fellowship with the M.E. church at Otts, and through all these years maintained an honorable, conscientious, consistent, Christian character--such that always commend religion and adorns the Christian's life. The suffrages of his neighbors and the many friends in his township called him to serve 12 years as Justice of the Peace-well and satisfactorily did he serve the people in such relation. In 1869 the enlarged suffrages of Monroe county called him to the onerously responsible office of sheriff. The duties of this office were so well and faithfully performed, he was called to serve a second term. Bro. Caldwell was man of quiet, unassuming manners but a man among men-an honest man-a tried and trusted citizen-a friends of humanity-true in the relations of life-true to himself-true to his family-true to his God.
