DEATHS AND FUNERALS.
Mrs. David I. CALDWELL, mother of the mayor of Independence, died
yesterday at her home on East Short street in that city. She was 83
years old and was one of the pioneer women of Independence. When
she first came to Kansas City it was only a little landing on the Missouri
river and had no commercial standing whatever. She leaves a large
family of grandsons and granddaughters, most of whom still live in
Independence. No funeral arrangements have been made.

The funeral of Mrs. David I. CALDWELL will take place this afternoon at
3:30 o'clock from the residence on East Short street, Independence, and
will be conducted by Rev. J. W. Wallace and W. L. Hickman, of the
Westminster Presbyterian church. Mrs. CALDWELL was 83 years of
age at the time of her death. She was educated at Cincinnati, Ohio, in
a school taught by Harriet Beecher Stowe. She married D. I. CALDWELL,
now deceased, in 1883 and came to Jackson county in 1837. She leaves
three children, Thomas C. CALDWELL, James S. CALDWELL, and
Fannie CALDWELL, and two grandchildren, Ruth and Bertha CALDWELL.
