I am a granddaughter of William and Emma (Giard) Caldwell. I am known to the family as
Emmy.
William and Ben were very close brothers. Two Giard sisters Emma and Mary married two
brothers William and Benjamin.
Ben's Story:
Some of this may be new to you, but its been verified by White Earth. Ben was Born 1899 to
Eliza and James Goodman, he was the youngest of five children. Not long after Ben was born
something happened to James, he is a complete mystery. White Earth had nothing else on
him besides his name, records from back then were not great. Eliza married Charles
Caldwell in June 1906. They had two additional children, Elizabeth and John Caldwell.
There's no record if Bill and Ben were adopted by Charles Caldwell or just assumed his
surname. I attached three photos, I have more. The one on the couch is Ben and Mary, your
Grandparents.
I have a PDF that I can email. My married name is Emily Glassman, my email is
emilyglassman22(a)gmail.com or phone is 612.616.6103.
