Caleb Stone Denny (May 13, 1850, in Monroe County, Indiana – March 24, 1926) was an American politician who served as the 15th and 17th mayor of the city of Indianapolis, Indiana.
[1] Denny first worked as a teacher and librarian before completing a law degree.
In 1885, Denny resigned his position of city attorney to try to obtain the Republican nomination for mayor of Indianapolis.
He ran successfully against incumbent mayor John L. McMaster and won the subsequent election by only 60 votes (out of approximately 18,000).
He chose not to run in 1889 and Democrat Thomas L. Sullivan was elected as mayor.
