      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.
