  • Notes  Married:
    • 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.
