Mahoning Dispatch, Fri, 26 Feb 1915
"Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Calvin died last Friday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. Calvin Ewing, in Youngstown. The deceased never recovered to any great extent from the injuries which she sustained December 22 when she was struck by a street car as she was crossing Federal street just west of the public square. She was in the City hospital for about two weeks following the accident and was then removed to her home. She was unable to regain her strength but gradually weakened. About ten days ago erysipelas developed and since that time Mrs. Calvin's condition had been critical and the end when it came was not unexpected. Mrs. Calvin was the daughter of Francis A. and Elizabeth J. Frethy, and was born January 21, 1843, in Pittsburgh. In that city she spent her childhood and girlhood days and was one of the first students to receive her education in the Pittsburgh high school. She was married three times, her first husband being Charles Long, of Pittsburgh, the second Dr. John N. (sic Jonathan) Fowler of Canfield and the third Allen Calvin of Canfield. The first two died while quite young men and Mr. Calvin passed away nine years ago. Mrs. Calvin first came to Canfield to live half a century ago and since the death of Mr. Calvin had lived with her daughter in Youngstown and Canfield. She was for years a member of the Presbyterian church of Canfield and was widely known in this community. She had a large number of friends by whom she was loved and respected. Surviving her are two children, Mrs. J. Calvin Ewing of Youngstown and J. V. Calvin, of Ensley, Ala. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. A. L. Stroud of Coraopolis, Pa. Miss Elizabeth Frethy of Canfield is her last surviving first cousin. Brief funeral services were held Monday forenoon from the Ewing home in Youngstown after which the remains were brought to Canfield and services were held in the Presbyterian church at 1 p.m., being in charge of Rev. John Healip, pastor of Youngstown Tabernacle U. P. Church and Rev. T. L. Klernan of the Canfield Presbyterian church. The pallbearers were Roy Delfs, Frank Watson, C. V. Calvin, Allen, Frank and Harry Ewing. Interment was made in the village cemetery."
