Newspaper Article - Wednesday, August 11, 1897 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Resolutions - At a meeting of J. B. Butler Post, G. A. R., held Saturday evening resolutions were adopted respecting the death of Mr. James G, Caldwell. This action was not taken because Mr. Caldwell was a veteran but in view of the fact that he contributed four sons to the great army of our Nation's defenders. Veterans of the late war are always ready to ascribe all praise and honor to those who contributed in any way to their heroic success in suppressing the rebellion, and we, the comrades of J. B. Butler Post, G. A. R., feel it a privilege we should embrace to show our consideration of the life of this honored sire of so many men who wore the blue, therefore be it Resolved, That we extend to the sons and daughters of our honored friend out heartfelt sympathy in this their great sorrow, trusting that they will remember that our Great Commander never errs and what He does is for the best. Resolved, that as a further mark of our high regard for this honorable patriot these resolutions be spread upon the journal of our Post, a copy sent the family and that the same be published in the Pulaski Democrat. M. L. Hollis, G. W. Seamans, H. B. Whitney, Committee.
