The following day the remains were taken to Castle Rock, followed by the bereaved and many friends and laid at rest in the cemetery at that place. Mrs. Calvin came here in '88 when fifteen years of age and was known and loved by all. Whoever she met at once became her friend and mourn with the bereaved over the loss of so faithful a friend, sister, daughter, wife and mother.
