WILLIAM E. CALDERWOOD,
[p. 721] who fills the office of paymaster of the Shenango mills of the
American Steel and Tin Plate Company, has been identified with this
enterprise, in his present capacity, since 1899. Mr. Calderwood is a
native of New Castle, Pa., born here December 12, 1868, and is a son of
John and Mary (Byers) Calderwood.
John Calderwood, the father, has resided in Mercer County since the
death of his wife. Formerly he engaged in farming in Union Township,
just west of New Castle.
William E. Calderwood attended the country schools during boyhood and
later the Mercer High School, from which he would have graduated in 1887
save for the fact that during the last year he dropped his Latin studies
in order to take a fuller course in philosophy and German, thereby
losing his chance of graduation, the rules requiring another year in
Latin. He then began his business career, engaging as a clerk in a
grocery store for two years. In 1889 he entered into the employ of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, accepting a position as clerk in the
railroad shops at Lawrence Junction, and continued there until 1893,
when he went into the grocery business with his father and brother,
Harry, at Mercer. In 1897 he returned to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company and remained until 1899, when he accepted his present
responsible position.
Mr. Calderwood married Miss Bertha Butler and they have one child, Paul.
Mr. Calderwood's particular talents have made him a very valuable
addition to the great clerical force necessary to keep orderly the
details of great concerns like those with which he has been associated.
