History of Webster County Iowa
p. 566 - Sketch of John Vandevender
"His father, Caleb Vandevender, was born and reared in New York and went from there to Ohio...In 1843 he removed to Indiana and engaged in farming in that state for ten years. During the spring of 1854 he came to Webster County, Iowa, which was then a vast tract of unsettled and uncultivated land. He camped in a grove near the farm occupied by his son, John. All around him was a vast stretch of raw timber and prairie land which, however, bore marks of fertility and only awaited the pioneer's care and cultivation to become valuable property. Not a single house was to be seen in all the distance from this farm to Batch Grove on Boone river, thirty-five miles away. The nearest point for trading was Fort Dodge (KS). No division had as yet been made between Hamilton and Webster counties, which had their common county seat at Homer. The now thriving villages of Dayton and Lehigh did not then even occupy a place in the imagination of the most sanguine settler or on the map of the most enthusiastic boomer. Webster City was known as Newcastle and contained only two houses. Deer and elk were to be seen on every hand and other game was plentiful, affording a gratefully received addition to the oftimes scanty larder of the pioneer. Land sold at the government price of one dollar and twenty-five cents per acre, and even at that low price was not eagerly sought after, but Caleb Vandevender was a man with a profound faith in the future and he bought land, devoted himself to its improvement and in time became a prosperous farmer. He remained in Webster county until his death in January, 1895. He had been a prominent local worker in the Republican party and had held all of the township offices. In religion he was connected with the Methodist Episcopal church.
