Message Board Post:
Any information on DT Caldwell of Antoine, Clark County Arkansas is appreciated.
It is my understanding that mr caldwell married first Future Marie Walker (MARIE WALKER)
around 1920-1923 in either Arkansas or Louisiana. one child (D T Caldwell, Jr) was born
around 1923. By 1930 Mr Caldwell had married Ruby R ____ and DT Caldwell Jr was living in
Shreveport Louisiana with Marie Walker's sister Myrtle Vance Walker-Janney listed as
DT Janney. No record seems evident of Marie Walker-Caldwell at this time. It appears that
Mr Caldwell and Ruby married about 1923 based on the 1930 Census of Antoine, Clark
Arkansas. I surmise that Marie died either at the 1923 birth or between 1923 and 1929.
I have found no record of the birth of DT CALDWELL JR nor of DT JANNEY. I know that he was
around the family for some time, possibly through the mid thirties when Myrtle Janney did
(1935) after having lost her husband William Price Janney in 1932.
The two remaining Janney children (William P Jr and Doris Mae) were housed in an orphanage
throughout the Great Depression. No record or family history for DT during the same time
frame.
Any assistance or pointers to resources would be greatly appreciated
