Hi, Not my line but found while researching. The link is below. Search Terms: CALHOUN (1) Database: Pennsylvania Biographical Sketches, 1868 Combined Matches: 1 Encyclopaedia of Contemporary Biography of Pennsylvania, Volume II Calhoun was born in the little village of Tamworth, Carroll County, New Hampshire, August 30, 1813, and died at Ridgway, Elk County, Pennsylvania, June 30, 1888. His life presents a remarkable illustration of the possibilities of our country. The history of his early struggles, his laborious youth and final success is pregnant with meaning to every young man on this continent. His parents were Jacob and Comfort Hyde. He was one of a family of nine children: Asenath, Joseph, Adaline, Maria, Eliza, Catharine, Jacob, Portland and Henry. At the age of nineteen the subject of this sketch, owing to his father's business embarrassments, brought about by injudicious endorsement for friends, was constrained to quit the parental roof and seek a living for himself. He went to Bangor, Maine, where he secured work on a saw mill at a salary of thirteen dollars a month. He remained in that vicinity, working in mills and in the lumber woods, for a period of nearly five years, during a large portion of which time his wages were remitted to his father to aid his struggles at home. In the fall of 1836 he went to Baltimore, where he remained a year. In 1837 he came for the first time to Elk County. He remained a short time at Caledonia and then drifted to Ridgway, where he secured work digging on an embankment for Enos Gillis. He then secured a contract from Mr. Gillis to run his mill, but this not proving profitable he removed in 1840 to St. Croix, Wisconsin, where he worked as a common laborer in the lumber woods for about a year. He was here taken with a severe spell of illness, and thoroughly disheartened and discouraged, decided to return to Ridgway, where he again went to work in the lumber woods. His sister Adaline at this time came on from New Hampshire and kept house for him in the "Red House," an old landmark well remembered by the older citizens of Ridgway. Mr. Hyde's stories of his poverty at this time, and the makeshifts to which at times they were reduced in order to make both ends meet, were both laughable and pathetic. On the 25th day of July, 1842, he married Jane, daughter of Enos Gillis, and niece of Hon. James L. Gillis. They lived at Montmorency about two years and then moved to Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, where their oldest child, Eliza, widow of the late Hon. John G. Hall, was born. He there found some work about the foundries, but not enough to keep him busy, and in 1846 he returned to Elk County, determined to cast his final lot there. Enos Gillis, his father-in-law, had in the meantime moved by wagon to Marshall, Michigan, and when Mr. Hyde returned he took up his quarters at the Gillis & McKinley mill, now owned by B. F. Ely. The following year he bought the mill and about four hundred acres of land adjoining, on credit. This marked the turning point in his business career. Prior to this time it had been a hard struggle for existence, but from this date his untiring industry was rewarded, and his indomitable will commanded success. He lived there three years, at the end of which time he was worth three thousand dollars. He then opened a small store, from which he supplied the country people with goods in exchange for shingles and other products of the camps. He also began to buy timber lands as fast as his credit extended, and tract after tract, mill after mill, were added to his possessions, until he became the leading lumberman of the county. In 1862 he built the residence on the home farm at Hellen, where he has since resided. From this time forward his history has been to a large extent the history of the county. At his death he was undoubtedly the wealthiest man in Elk County. His wealth consisted in timber and coal lands, factories, stores, mills etc., in the county, and in large real estate interests in Louisville, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, Freeport and other cities. He was sagacious and enterprising in business affairs, as the numerous enterprises of which he was the projector will abundantly testify. He despised dishonesty and idleness, but loved the honest and faithful, however lowly. He was a man of the people, with a profound contempt for pride of wealth or position. He was extremely tender hearted and could not bear to look upon a human being in pain. He was a large employer of men, and his funeral services held at Ridgway, previous to his removal to Painesville, Ohio, where he was interred by the side of his wife, were characterized by the large attendance of laboring men, a tribute to one who, as an employer, would do without food and sleep rather than that any man in his employ should lack them. In his last sickness he was full of charity for all, excusing the shortcomings of others and thoroughly resigned to the death whose coming he knew was imminent. He was a man of magnificent physique and fine personal appearance, and up to the time of the illness which caused his death was wonderfully well preserved for his years. He was never a candidate for office, but was strong in his political convictions, and throughout his entire life was an earnest Democrat of the Jacksonian type. He was a man of strong prejudices and imperious temper, a necessary adjunct to that sturdy and courageous New England character which eventually made his name synonymous with the material prosperity of Elk County. His life was a well rounded one, and he died full of years and honors. He was the very type of the courageous, hardworking, tenacious, brainy New Englander, and his career is a monument to tireless industry and clean-handed business integrity. Mr. Hyde's health begun to fail in the spring of 1888. On an examination made by his physicians it was found that he had acute cystitis, and after some weeks of patient suffering his system gave way under it. He died at his residence in Ridgway, Pennsylvania, at ten o'clock on Saturday night, June 30, 1888. On the following Monday, July, 2, the impressive services of the Episcopal Church were conducted over the remains by the Rev. C. J. Shrimpton. At the conclusion of the services the funeral party took a special car for Painesville, Ohio, where, by the request of the deceased, he was interred by the side of his first wife. The pall-bearers, chosen by Mr. Hyde himself, were Messrs. Andrew Kaul, Hiram Carman, Hezekiah Horton, W. P. Murphy, Thomas Calhoun and Hon. George D. Messenger. Mr. Hyde was twice married. By his first wife, --who died August 31, 1864, --he had four children, all of whom survive him, viz; Mrs. John G. Hall, Mrs. Esther L. Campbell, Mr. W. H. Hyde and Mrs. J. K. P. Hall. In 1866 he married his second wife, Mrs. Nancy B. Campbell, a widow, who died in January, 1882, and by whom he had no children.

AMERICAN GENEALOGICAL-BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX-AGBI (Update adding vols. 196-206) SEARCH FREE FOR 10 DAYS One of the most important genealogical collections, the American Genealogical-Biographical Index, or AGBI, is the equivalent of more than 200 printed volumes. This database contains millions of records of people whose names have appeared in printed genealogical records and family histories. With data from sources largely from the last century, each entry contains the person's complete name, the year of the biography's publication, the person's state of birth (if known), abbreviated biographical data, and the book and page number of the original reference. In addition to family histories, other genealogical collections are indexed. These include the "Boston Transcript" (a genealogical column widely circulated), the complete 1790 U.S. Federal Census, and published Revolutionary War records. The most recent update to this database reflects the inclusion of volumes 196-206. For researchers of American ancestors, this can be one of the most valuable databases available at Ancestry.com. Most of the works referenced in the AGBI are housed at the Godfrey Memorial Library in Connecticut. A photocopy service is available. Please contact Godfrey Memorial Library at 134 Newfield St, Middletown, CT 06457 or via e-mail at mailto:referenceinfo@godfrey.org to make use of this service. To learn more about the AGBI, see the extended description on the database page, or read Kory Meyerink's article "Genealogy's Best-kept Secret: American Genealogical-Biographical Index."
