UNIDENTIFIED/UNDATED NEWSPAPER CLIPPING (dates penciled on clipping 1944-1869)

MRS. ELMER CALHOUN

The family of Mrs. Mary Ann, widow of A. Elmer Calhoun, were inexpressibly 
shocked at her sudden death on Tuesday afternoon, September 12, which was 
entirely unexpected.

Mrs. Calhoun, who made her home for the past year with her daughter, Mrs. Ivan 
Anderson, 564 Broad street, had not been in good health for months but was 
most tenderly cared for by her daughter and seemed no worse than usual. After 
her rest period on Tuesday Mrs. Anderson went to her and was assisting her to 
rise when she suddenly expired.

Mary Ann Schugars, daughter of Franklin and Matilda Best Schugars was born at 
Hormtown, June 4, 1869. She was united in marriage with Elmer Calhoun, of 
Brockway R.D. 1, March 5, 1888, and they settled in the Sugar Hill section 
where they operated a prosperous farm, lived a happy and contented life, and 
reared a family of five sons and four daughters and were among the best 
neighbors and kindest of friends in that community which is famous for its 
neighborliness. Mrs. Calhoun was a fine type of Christian womanhood, a devoted 
wife and mother, a wonderful neighbor and a devoted Christian. Her home and 
her church were her main interests, but no person ever called upon her for 
help in time of need but she responded with all she had that was needed. The 
latchstring was always out on her door and all who came received a hearty 
welcome and left with the assurance that they were always welcome. She was a 
woman of convictions and once she was convinced that a thing was right, she 
could not be moved. She was always ready to defend against unjust criticism 
and would not permit it in her home. She set a high standard for her family 
and lived it before them. She was possessed of a sweet disposition, patient 
and kind, equal to any task before her, with a saving sense of humor which 
made her a charming companion. Mother will never be dead to her children. She 
will ever live in their memories and they will "rise up and call her blessed." 
Her passing was as she would have had it. She lived quietly and fully, she 
entered into her rest quietly and happily.

Mrs. Calhoun was the mother of 10 children, five boys and five girls, all of 
whom survive her except one little daughter, who died in infancy. Surviving 
are Walter, Charles, Harry, (Martha) Mrs. C. M. Carlson, (Olive) Mrs. Ivan 
Anderson, all of Brockway; Arden, of Brockway R.D. No. 1, (Edna) Mrs. Don 
Wingard, Lewis Run; Howard Calhoun, Canton, O.; (Mary) Mrs. Lowell Webster, of 
Bradford. One sister, Mrs. Delva Mateer, Ashland, O., and two brothers, Will 
Schugars, Reynoldsville, and Harry Schugars, Tarentum; 21 grandchildren and 
four great-grandchildren.

Deceased was a member of the Sugar Hill Presbyterian Church.

Funeral services will be held at the Ivan Anderson home on Friday, September 
15, at 2 o'clock p.m. Rev. Tait will officiate, assisted by Rev. T.H. Johnson, 
of the Methodist Church, and interment will be made in the family plot in 
Beechwoods beside her husband, who passed on only six months ago.

Her life is a beautiful memory,
Her death is a silent grief.
She sleeps in God's beautiful garden
In sunshine of perfect peace.
