General Notes: Husband - John Linn McCalmont

---

He was reared on the home farm, and attended the common schools of the neighborhood, having the average advantages enjoyed by other boys of the period. Practically all his active life was spent on the paternal estate, for agreeable to the terms of his father's will he bought out the interests of the other heirs in the farm and continued general farming there until his retirement. He operated the place profitably for many years, being one of the most successful agriculturists of his locality, and eventually sold it, moving into the town of Cooperstown to enjoy his leisure years in comfort and the agreeable associations of many old friendships. Mr. McCalmont served his township in the capacity of road commissioner for three years, and both as an official and private citizen, could always be counted upon for public-spirited cooperation in the best movements of the day. Like the family generally, he has adhered to the Democratic Party on political issues. He long attended and supported the Presbyterian Church. [CAB, 588]

from Canal Twp, Venango Co, PA
Most of her children died of tubercular trouble, so the youngest child, Stuart, was sent West when just 12 years old.
