Mendon, March 13. -- Jesse Calvert died at his home in Mendon at 8:15 this morning, of pneumonia, after an illness of thirteen days. Mr. Calvert's death followed closely on that of his wife, who succumbed to the same disease on February 28 last.
Mrs. Calvert was on a visit to Quincy relatives when taken sick, and her death occurred a few days after she returned to her home. She was buried on March 3, and the following Sunday, the husband was stricken.
Although a strong man physically, he was weakened by grief over the death of his beloved wife, and from the first the disease had a strong hold on him. A previous attack some six years ago had made him more susceptible, and although everything was done for him, nothing was of avail.
A trained nurse from Quincy was in constant attendance. From the first, Mr. Calvert told his children he was sure he would not survive, but would soon follow his wife to the other land, and when the end came, he went gladly to join her who had been his loving companion through so many years of his life.
The dead man was born October 21, 1852, near Sherburne Kentucky, and was 61 years old. He was married to Amanda Dawson Boyd October 14 1873, at her southern home near Sherburne.
Six years ago, they moved to Hale Missouri, and, after a short residence there, moved to Palmyra Missouri, where they lived until last September, when they came to Mendon to make their home.
Mr. Calvert was a retired farmer, a staunch Republican, and a member of the Methodist church. Although but a short time a resident of this town, he had gained universal respect and esteem of the community, and had made many friends who grieve for the double bereavement of the stricken family.
Five children survive, three sons and two daughters. They are: Roy of Galesburg, Russian of Hale Missouri, Cleveland of Indianapolis, and Elizabeth and Sadie, at home. Roy arrived from Galesburg last Tuesday to be with his father. Russian arrived this morning, just five minutes before the father died.
The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Methodist church.
