Maureen Bryson Notes
Hiram B. CALDWELL and family moved between 1868 and 1869 to Minnehaha Co., Dakota Territory.
"After their departure [i.e., settlers that left Sioux City in August 1862 due to Indian uprisings]
the Indians entered the village, destroyed everything they found, and set fire to the buildings.
They ended the pioneer labors of the old Smith press by throwing it into the river,
where it laid until 1871, when it was rescued and placed on exhibition in the town.
A part of it was sold to True Dennis, at that time popularly known as the 'village blacksmith,'
and the bed lay for some time near where E. B. Smith's furniture store is now located,
but Hiram Caldwell, living north of Sioux Falls, took it home and used it for a door step.
R. F. Pettigrew discovering the use to which it was being put, and thinking it should be preserved
as a relic of the first newspaper enterprise in the county, gave Mrs. Caldwell five dollars for it,
and now has it in his possession."

Elliott Caldwell, Gladys Caldwell Gannon, Marvin Caldwell, and Mary Ann Gannon Riordan:
In the 1850 Baraboo Sauk Co WI census, we locate John Caldwell (1799 NH) and his wife Minerva (1801 VT)
and their four sons Hiram, John and David, all born in Vermont, and George, with Mason (Alonzo) Hill
and his two children, Alice and Susan. Abram Allen is a neighbor. On July 15, 1852, his oldest daughter
Permelia Allen married Hiram, age 21, in Brooklyn WI, recorded in Baraboo. Myron Hiram Caldwell
was born December 19, 1853. Warren was born in 1855 and Orrin followed in 1857. Seven years later,
Olive was born, followed by Elmer in 1867. These children were born in WI; Willard was born in 1874
in Dakota Territory. If Hiram Caldwell helped to build Fort Sod, he would have been in Sioux Falls in 1857 or 1858.
An excerpt from Dakota Panorama states, "the Indians threw the printing press into the Sioux River"
and became a doorstep at the home of Hiram Caldwell. Gladys Caldwell Gannon tells of their great grandfather
Hiram Caldwell in the building of the first fort and an Indian raid which destroyed the first settlement in Sioux Falls.
She treasured an inkwell from that first fort, a heavy-metal-trunk-shaped inkwell, complete with straps. Her brother
Marvin locates Hiram Caldwell, in Sioux Falls in the later 1850s, in the army's 1863 construction of Fort Dakota.
Hiram returned to Wisconsin in 1864 and, according to Myron's obituary, moved his family to Dakota Territory in 1869.
The 1870 Dakota Territory census lists the Caldwell and the Sylvanius Delaney families in Elk Point Twp, Minnehaha County.
Sylvanius Delaney (May 30, 1822 Wales) settled north of Sioux Falls, and in 1856 their oldest daughter Elizabeth
was born, the first white child born in Minnehaha County in the disputed MN/SD/IA land along the Missouri River.
Margaret Delaney was born in Wisconsin in 1858, and Sarah J. and Fidelia N. were born in 1860, James in Minnesota in 1861.
In June of 1865 the Delaneys were among three families in Fort Dakota who were the first permanent settlers in Sioux Falls
According to Elizabeth Delaney Caldwell's obit, the Delaney family lived in these barracks upon their arrival on June 4, 1865.
In 1870 both the Caldwells and the Delaneys were living as neighbors in Elk Point, Minnehaha County, Dakota Territory.
Myron Caldwell, who had a farm near Hartford SD, married Elizabeth Delaney on August 10 1876, and they had eight children.
Orin Sylvanius was born on August 2, 1877, Alice in 1879, Roy and Ray in 1881, James in 1885, and John Riley in 1888.
On July 18, 1900 in Hartford, Orin Caldwell married Millie Devers (2 Mar 1881) dau of Hattie Rathbun and George Devers.

Myron H. Caldwell, owner of the Spring Creek farm near Hartford, Minnehaha Co. SD, was born in Baraboo,
Sauk Co. WI on 19 Dec 1853, a son of Hiram B. and Pamelia (Allen) Caldwell. who were sterling pioneers
of the Badger state. The father is now dead, while the mother makes her home with Mr. Caldwell.
He secured his early education in the public schools and in Baraboo, continuing to abide beneath
the parental roof until he had attained the age of sixteen years, when he came to what is now the
state of South Dakota, arriving in June, 1870, and entering pre-emption and homestead claims near
the present city of Sioux Falls. There he devoted his attention to the improvement and cultivation of his farm
until 1879, when he disposed of the property and moved to Hartford township where he eventually became
the owner of this present attractive and valuable farmstead of three hundred and twenty acres. There he
was engaged in diversified farming and stock raising until February 15, 1903, when he rented his farm
and took up his residence in Hartford, establishing himself in business here, as previously noted.
On the 10th of October, 1870, Mr. Caldwell was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth A. Delaney,
daughter of Sylvanus and Margaret (Scott) Delaney, of Sioux Falls, where they located in 1866,
being numbered among the honored pioneers of that place, whither they came from Minnesota.
Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell are the parents of six children, namely: Orrin S., Alice M., Ray H., Roy M.,
James G. and John R.
