CLARENCE H. CALDWELL DIES OF INJURIES
WELL KNOWN MAN DIES OF INJURIES RECEIVED AS CAR SWERVED TO MISS DOG
Clarence H. Caldwell, chairman of the Shelby county jury commission, died at Baptist hospital, Monday morning shortly after 4 o'clock from injuries received in an auto accident Friday night. He was 54 years of age and had lived in this county all his life.
Mr. Caldwell never fully regained consciousness after the accident which occurred on North Parkway near Decatur. He was riding in a car with Dr. and Mrs. J.L. Manire, 1168 Faxon Avenue, when a large dog ran in front of the machine. In endeavoring to miss the dog a too sharp swerve overturned the auto.
The jury commissioner received severe cuts about the head and bruises about the side. It was said by friends Monday that had Mr. Caldwell survived he would have been paralyzed in this side. He first was taken to his home, 1174 Faxon, but Saturday morning was removed to the hospital.
Mr. Caldwell had not been in best physical condition for about eight years and this militated against his recovery. Four years ago he went West for a period, but returned after a brief stay.
Funeral arrangements had not been completed Monday. He very likely will be buried in Elmwood cemetery.
His widow, Mrs. Lucy Miller Caldwell, and one daughter, Miss Lucille, survive. Several years ago a son Clarence, Jr., was drowned in the Mississippi river. The body never was recovered. Thomas B. Caldwell, a brother, associated in the revenue agent's office here, is the only other immediate relative.
Mr. Caldwell was born near Bartlett and attended the public schools of this county. For a time he engaged in the mercantile business at Bartlett and also at Raleigh. While following this pursuit he was elected magistrate from the Sixth district and for several terms was a member of county court. He served for a number of years as deputy sheriff under McCarver and later under Monteverde. After that Mr. Caldwell entered the county court clerk's office under the late T.B. Crenshaw, where he served for nearly eight years.
About two years ago he was elected to the position of jury commissioner.
None of the other occupants of the auto received other than slight injuries. The dog was unhurt.
