"Jo Van Calvin, 86, died in his sleep early Friday morning at his home on
the Salem Road. Born in Annapolis, Ill., March 26, 1874, he was the son of
Allen W. and Julia Reese Calvin, and following the death of his mother came
to Canfield with his father and an older sister when he was seven months of
age. He attended the old Northeastern Ohio Normal college and was employed
at the Ohio Works in Youngstown. Later he moved to Birmingham, Ala., where
construction of a steel plant was under way. In 1907 he returned to Canfield
and took over the operation of a grist mill on Wadsworth street, which had
been owned by his father. Three years later he disposed of his interests in
Canfield and returned to Ensley, Ala., where he was personnel director for
the United States Steel Corp. until his retirement in 1946. Mr. Calvin was
a Mason, a Shriner and a member of the Kiwanis Club in Fort Walton Beach,
Fla. In 1900 (sic 1899) he was married to the former Miss Mary Armstrong
Arnold of Canfield, She died in 1952. An only child, Lee, died forty-seven
years ago. Mr. Calving leaves seven nieces and nephews, including William
K. Arnold, with whom he had made his home the past few years. Funeral
services, with the Rev. Chas. F. Fulcomer officiating, were held Sunday
afternoon at the Williams Funeral Home, and burial made in the Canfield
cemetery."

Note:Canfield Twp. Cemetery & Death Records, Mahoning Co. OH, p. 37, gives
death date of 1960, but this appears to be erroneous. His obituary appeared
in 1861 (verified).
