On February 13, 1898, he was united in marriage to Nettie Shattuck, daughter of William Henry and Mary Shattuck. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin bought a farm in Valley township and here they established a home where they continued to live for 46 years. A little over a year ago Mr. 
Calvin decided to sell his farm and move to LaCygne where he had purchased a home. Here he lived at the time of his death. 

Although Mr. Calvin was well along in years he still retained a keen interest in the various activities to which he had been accustomed. He was a member of the Brooklyn Grange and still maintained a membership in the Farm Bureau.

Many years ago he united with the Methodist church at East Mount Zion, later transferring his membership to the LaCygne Methodist church. With Mrs. Calvin he attended this church Sunday morning, October 7, and that evening he was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage from which he did not recover.

Calvin, Osborne; Lee Calvin, LaCygne; Mrs. Delbert A. Leascher, Kansas City, Missouri; Clifton C. Calvin, Lawrence, and Mrs. Delmar W. Shannon, Kansas City, Missouri. Also five grandchildren, four brothers and two sisters.
