Calvert - Circleville Union Herald - 1923 In Memoriam - 1923 Editor Union-Herald: - Henry R., son of Jacob R. and Margaret Grant Calvert, was born in Frederick county state of Virginia, July 28, 1852, and died at his late home in Circleville, Ohio July 13, 1923, age 70 years 11 months and 13 days. Of his immediate family, four brothers and one sister are living; George W., John M., Frank E., Charles B., and Mrs. Calvin Prayther. On December 10, 1874, he married Miss Eliza Jane Wilkens and to his union were born five children; three of which preceded him to the other world. Mrs. Blanche Allen, of Circleville, and Barman R. Calvert of Duvall survive both parents, for the mother died some years ago. He was converted many years ago in the Baptist church in Hocking county and transferred his membership to the Morris U. B. church where he remained a faithful member until death. Owing to physical infirmities he retired from farming several years ago purchasing property on East Franklin street, where he made his home being cared for my Mrs. Bertha Calvert until his death. His retirement was due to physical disability and for the past three months he suffered from the result of a fall causing a fracture of the left hip creating a dropsical condition causing his death. As a member of the Morris church he had great interest in her welfare and many times helped beyond the ordinary. The Ladies' Aid will miss his gifts. May others rise to take his place. As a Christian he was unassuming, quiet but interested; as a father beloved, as a neighbor helpful. His name has been mentioned many times during his illness and the help rendered by many friends attest to the esteem in which he was held. Two children, four brothers, one sister, sixteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren survive him. Card of Thanks. We wish to thank the neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our dear father, Henry R. Calvert; for the singers for their beautiful songs and to Rev.
