About Ruth Caroline Caulfield
Oliver William Caulfield MD was born on May 22, 1814 in Virginia or Tennessee. He died on March 23, 1852 in E Baton Rouge Parish, LA and was buried in Amite County on land claimed by the US government to be used for training soldiers during World War II, known as Camp Van Dorn.. (The surname Caulfield is sometimes shown in records as Cawlfield and Cauldfield.)
Dr. Caulfield, the son of John Robert Caulfield and Fannie Johnson, was married to Ruth Caroline Johnson, daughter of William Perkins Johnson and Ruth Gray, on January 10, 1835 in Amite Co, MS. Ruth Caroline Johnson was born in 1816 in South Carolina and died between 1878/79 in Amite County. Dewey DeLee of Clinton, LA remembered the Caulfield Cemetery before World War II and contributed that in addition to Dr. Caulfield, his wife and her parents plus other family members were buried at this location. The markers were marble. Bobby Haygood remembers when his fatherin-law, Percy Pierce, was the owner of the property after Van Dorn days, there were more markers. During a timber sale, the cemetery was vandalized, leaving Dr. Caulfield's marker, which was probably too heavy to lift. Jack Jones of Norwood, LA owned the property in 2009. The Caulfields had four children: Sarah A., William Perkins Johnson, Frances Catherine "Fannie", and Annie Ruth.
