In 1876 Cauldwell became the sole proprietor of the Sunday Mercury, afad in 1883 he purchased the building No. 3 Park Row, New York, which is fitted with every appliance for a first-class printing and

publishing office. He was married October 27, 1845, to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of George Dyer. Their children are Leslie G., Nettie G. and Emily L., wife of Thomas Rogers.

His career has been alike creditable to himself, and to the county which he has so ably represented, and in his profession as a publisher, few can show a more successful record, and none a more honorable one.

Horace Greeley, the noted journalist, spent much of his leisure at his country home in Westchester County, and breathed his last at Chappaqua. Mr. Greeley was born at Amherst, N. H., February 3, 1811. He received a common-schoool education, which was supplemented by his own unwearied efforts in the acquisition of knowledge. At the age of fourteen, his parents having removed to Vermont, he obtained employment as apprentice-boy in the office of Northern Spectator, 'Pwltwey^y^i. In 1830 he returned home, owing to the discontinuance of the paper, but soon afterwards secured another position as apprentice at Erie, Pa., for fifty dollars a year.

In August, 1881, having saved enough money to pay his traveling expenses, besides giving twenty-five or thirty dollars to his father, he arrived in New York City " with a suit of l)lue cotton jean, two brown shirts and five dollars in cash." He obtained work as a journeyman printer, and, in 1834, commenced with Jonas Winchester (afterwards publisher of the New World) a weekly paper, of sixteen pages quarto, called the New Yorker. Although conducted with mu(^h ability it was not successful, and was finally abandoned. While editing this journal Mr. Greeley also conducted, in 1838, The Jeffersonian, published by the Whig Central Committee of the State, and the Log Ca6/n, a campaign paper, published in the Presidential contest of 1840.
