General Notes: Husband - James S. Calvert

---

He was reared on the family homestead [Moon township, Beaver County, Pennsylvania]. During the gold excitement he went to California by the Vanderbilt route, via Nicaragua and Costa Rica. He engaged in mining and prospecting there with varied success, and was for a time foreman of the Rodgers quartz mill, near Virginia City, Nevada. He had many thrilling adventures with the Indians. At one time his party of twelve was surrounded by 300 Indians, but escaped by making a bold rush. He remained unmarried and his sister Kate kept house for him when he returned to reside in Beaver County. He was a member of the United Presbyterian church at Raccoon; in politics a Republican. He was justice of the peace fifteen years, and jury commissioner, one term.
