Robert Stapleton Pitt Caldecott(KAWL-dǝ-kot; 15 September 1836 - 17 April 1907) was a British/Canadian turn of the century Industrialist, Philanthropist, immigrant and board/committee member of multiple organizations and associations. He was born in Cheshire England [1][2][3][4]
to an upper-class merchant family, his first cousin was Randolph Caldecott of the Caldecott Medal[5]a recognized Royal Academy of Arts artist and illustrator; who influenced 19th Century children’s book illustrations. Stapleton’s success came from Dry Goods; after immigrating to Montreal, Quebec,Canada in 1858; where he began his career at James Claxton & Co.[1][2][4] and then became partner to the now Thompson, Claxton & Co. and becoming the Western Canada Purchaser. In 1879 he relocated to Toronto, Ontario Canada to become a co-founder to Caldecott, Burton & Co.[1][2][3][4] a Dry Goods Service that held offices in Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa. While in Montreal and Toronto, Stapleton used his many resources to contribute to multiple associations/committees or institutions; such as co-funding the Montreal Literary Association[1][2]; Vice-president of the YMCA in Montreal[1][2]; chairman of the Free Trade League of Canada; Director of Bishop Ridley College (Ontario)[2] in St. Catharines; Director/co-founder/co-financier of Havergal College; an all-girls school for kindergarten to grade 12; having also helped to select Ellen Mary Knox, the first principal of Havergal whose reputation is everlasting and still recognized by today's staff and students.[6] [7] Stapleton was a man of God being a member of the Church of England his contributions were also widely recognized and well received. His most treasured part of his life was his family, he was married to Emma Mary Arnold, a famous singer from Montreal. They had 3 children that survived to adulthood; Fredrick, Walter and Isabel. He was a veteran of the 1867 Fenian Raids; [1][2][4]a soldier of the Militia against the Fenian attacks at Victoria Bridge, receiving the Canada General Service Medal.[1]He was a Liberal and was going to run in 1904 in North Toronto,[1] he was the front runner and convention favourite. He became ill and had to resign from that particular goal. With his many editorials and articles in The Globe (today known as The Globe and Mail), show that every move he made would only ever benefit Canadians in his present but also the Canadians of his future.
