John Caldwell obtained a homestead of 101 acres (0.41 km2) of government land in 1875 in Section 4 in Caldwell township of Missaukee County. He later purchased an adjacent 40 acres (160,000 m2) land and a nearby 80-acre (320,000 m2) parcel. These all contained old growth white pine timber that was of considerable value for the development of Michigan. Much of this timber was used in the construction of Lake City, Manton, Cadillac and other northern Michigan towns.
Caldwell and his older brother Thomas (1843–1882) were among some of the first settlers in Missaukee County, Michigan. The township of Caldwell within Missaukee County is named in honor of these Caldwells. Both were deeply involved in developing northern Michigan in the later part of the nineteenth century. Thomas was the second son in the family after James. His middle name was "Thompson", their mother's maiden name, following the Irish naming practice. Other Caldwell siblings were William, George, Charlie and Mary Jane.

Famous quotes containing the word adult:
“Love and work are viewed and experienced as totally separate activities motivated by separate needs. Yet, when we think about it, our common sense tells us that our most inspired, creative acts are deeply tied to our need to love and that, when we lack love, we find it difficult to work creatively; that work without love is dead, mechanical, sheer competence without vitality, that love without work grows boring, monotonous, lacks depth and passion.”
—Marta Zahaykevich, Ucranian born-U.S. psychitrist. “Critical Perspectives on Adult Women’s Development,” (1980)
“They are not callow like the young of most birds, but more perfectly developed and precocious even than chickens. The remarkably adult yet innocent expression of their open and serene eyes is very memorable. All intelligence seems reflected in them. They suggest not merely the purity of infancy, but a wisdom clarified by experience. Such an eye was not born when the bird was, but is coeval with the sky it reflects. The woods do not yield another such a gem.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The truth is, no matter how trying they become, babies two and under don’t have the ability to make moral choices, so they can’t be “bad.” That category only exists in the adult mind.”
—Anne Cassidy (20th century)
