- The Caldwells farmed for a couple of years but after the deaths of their first two children, decided to try anew in St. Thomas, Ontario. All of James Emery's brothers had found work as brakemen or firemen on the Michigan Central Railway (it later became the New York Central, then Conrail). Emery hired on as a fireman. Depression struck, and the Caldwell's moved to a farm to survive these hard years. Emery worked at roofing or tinsmithing when he could find work. In 1940, he was called back to the railroad and worked on the bullgang repairing tracks, then back to fireman until 1943 when he became an engineer. He continued to work for the railroad until his death. The family lived in St. Thomas, Niagara Falls, and Windsor, all in Ontario. Their two eldest children are buried in the same cemetery. (Outhouse Gen) They were married in the United Church.

- James Emery was the eldest son of George Henry. He was sent out to work at 8 years of age in lumber mills with his father. When he became a teenager, he decided to put his talents at cooking to work for him (he had to cook for his younger siblings) and worked as a cook/baker for the lumber camps in the Cochrane area of northern Ontario. When WWI erupted, he enlisted in the 71st Battalion at Galt, Ontario. He served in France with the 44th Battalion. Wounded 3 times in service, he received the Military Medal for bravery. He returned to Canada in 1919 and met and married Carrie Howe. [1]
