General Notes: Husband - James Calvert, Jr.


Date of birth August 4. [HVC 1879, 574] At that time the location was in Scrubgrass Township.
He first had a log house on his property, which comprised two hundred acres of the original Calvert tract, part of which he succeeded in clearing during his active years. He prospered in his agricultural operations and improved the farm considerably, building the barn there in 1885 and in other ways adding constantly to the value of his estate, where he lived and died. As a man of active mind and progressive disposition he understood the needs of the community and took his share in the administration of local affairs, holding a number of township offices. Politically he was a Democrat, in religion a member of the Associate Presbyterian Church, belonging to the congregation at East Unity, Butler County, some four miles distant from his home. [HVC 1919, 953]
