Adult
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:
“It helps parents to feel better if we remind them of our failures with them! And how they turned out just fine despite our imperfections.... We never get over needing nurturing parents. The more we comfort our own adult children, the more they can comfort our grandchildren.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
“Because the young child feels with such intensity, he experiences sorrows that seem inconsolable and losses that feel unbearable. A precious toy gets broken or a good-bye cannot be endured. When this happens, words like “sad” or “disappointed” seem a travesty because they cannot possibly capture the enormity of the child’s loss. He needs a loving adult presence to support him in his pain but he does not want to be talked out of it.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“The writer, unlike his non-writing adult friend, has no predisposed outlook; he seldom observes deliberately. He sees what he did not intend to see; he remembers what does not seem wholly possible. Inattentive learner in the schoolroom of life, he keeps some faculty free to veer and wander. His is the roving eye.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
