"Death of Dr. Calvin – Died at his residence in Canfield, after a brief
but painful illness of malignant diphtheria, on Sunday morning, Dec. 18th,
1881, Dr. A. W. Calvin, aged 36 years. The sudden and unexpected death
of Dr. Calvin, which occurred last Sabbath morning about 7 o'clock, has
cast a shadow of sorrow and gloom over the whole community, who consider
his decease an almost irreparable loss, having been linked together by the
ties of friendship and brotherly affection, as a faithful physician and a
highly esteemed citizen. The Doctor contracted the disease which carried
him off on the prime of his manhood, while attending to his professional
duties. Deceased leaves a wife and three children, besides a large number of
relatives, (brothers and sisters) friends and acquaintances, who deeply mourn
his departure. Memorial services are to be held next Sabbath afternoon in
the Presbyterian Church, after which an historical sketch of deceased's life
written by an intimate friend, will appear in next issue of the Dispatch."

therefore Resolved, That in profound sorrow we bow in humble submission
to this mysterious providence of Him who ordereth all things and although

of this Order, and affectionate, devoted husband, a loving and indulgent
father, a generous and warm hearted friend and obliging neighbor, a good and
enterprising citizen, useful in his profession and faithful in the discharge
of duty. He was conservative, liberal and tolerant in his views, winning
friends from all parties and the believers of every creed. Those who knew
him best, respected, honored and loved him most.  Resolved; That we tender
to the bereaved family and sorrowing friends, in their deep affliction,
the heartfelt sympathy of the members of Canfield Lodge, No. 155, IOOF.

"Home and County Affairs - The palatial and handsome residence of
Dr. A. W. Calvin, of this place, which has been in course of erection during
the past summer, was completed about ten days ago, and his family moved in
last week and are now occupying it. The building is an ornament to the town
and a credit to the ability and genius of the architect, Mr. A. S. Porter. All
the surroundings - a large stable and other fine out buildings-are in
happy contrast with the dwelling house, and everything connected with it
is finished in the most modern style, regardless of expenses, making it
one of the most commodious, convenient and cozy homes in the town."

CALVIN, Emma L. (Miss)
Daughter of Dr. Aaron Wilbur and Hannah J. Fowler Calvin
B. 1868 in Canfield, Mahoning Co. OH
D. 4 Nov 1889 in Canfield, Mahoning Co. OH at 19y
Burial - 7 Nov 1889 in Canfield Village Cemetery, Section C Row 2, Canfield, Mahoning Co. OH

Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 8 Nov 1889
"Miss Emma Calvin died on Monday 1 p.m. after an illness of eight months. Her
disease seemed to baffle the skill of the best physicians. A post mortem held
on Tuesday developed the fact that her ailment was of the heart. Deceased was
in her 19th year. Funeral services held Thursday afternoon, were conducted
by Dr. Dickson. The remains were laid to rest in the village cemetery."

Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 29 Nov 1889 – In Memory of Emma Calvin
"Mrs. Hannah Calvin has received from an old-time friend of her family,
a letter which contains so much that is both true and beautiful, touching
the life and death of her daughter, Emma, that we deem it worthy of
publication. The letter is as follows; To Mrs. Hannah Calvin; - I have
learned how deeply your widowed heart has been wounded by the sad and
untimely death of Emma. I can scarcely hope to console you in this the
hour of your affliction, yet I feel that, perhaps, a kindly word from one
who knew her well might shed a ray of light where gloom prevails. You knew
her better than any of us. No word of mine can add to your knowledge of
the wealth of affection she bore you, and all of yours and hers. Her long
and patient illness must have warned you of, but could not prepare you for,
the final end. The dread messenger, however loudly he trumpets his coming,
surprises, startles, shocks our very souls. There is naught else as desolate
as Death. But there is a sad sweetness in the contemplation of the lives
of loved ones dead. We may not question this incurable degree of Fate;
we may not know why one so young, so cheerful, so hopeful of happiness,
so capable of being and doing good, should be summoned to the other side;
but we may live over again, this love's sad, sweet fancy, the days she dwelt
among us. We may recall the golden days when as a child, she filled her home
with merry, rippling laughter. We may see her again clamber upon her father's
knee and learn from him to lisp the sounds of human speech. We may see her,
mistress of the mimic mansions childhood builds, dispensing hospitality to
toddling playmates. We may follow her to school, and trace her through ten
thousand childish anxieties, perplexities and triumphs. We may recall her
friendships formed, and open-hearted kindliness to all she knew. You may,
with pardonable pride, remember her, with perfect ease and loyal love she
triumphed over troubles that beset, and earned the affection of those whose
privilege it was to teach. Do not these hallowed memories compel the thought;
"It was a goodly gift God gave to me, even for so brief a time?" I would
have you remember, too, that her soul has tasted neither of the wickedness
nor bitterness of the world. Impulsive, lighthearted almost to recklessness,
good-natured to a fault, trustful in the goodness of humanity, affectionate
beyond most of the race, it was her blessed privilege to feel this strong
and tender passion of a pure and noble nature, and to know that a manly
man desired to link his life with her forever. She died happy in this
human love, and believing that what has been denied her here will be
vouchsafed in eternity. Lastly, she died a Christian, firm in the faith
and conscious of moral rectitude, with no stain upon her soul and no blot
upon her conscience. These are the reflections which will, I know, come
floating through the mists of memory, mellowing the sorrows of bereavement,
and softly illuminating the shadows of despair."
