A PIONEER GONE
Lamira Calkins Departed this Life at the Ripe Old Age of Eighty
After a shore illness of only four days Grandma Calkins, as she was familarily known far and near, passed away at the old home in Calkinsville last Monday morning, surviving her husband only four years, each of them being eighty years old at the time of their death.
Mr. and Mrs. Calkins were among the early Settlers in Central Michigan, locating south of Mt. Pleasant in 1861.
THE LATE MRS. LAMIRA CALKINS
In 1872 (less than two years after the first settlement in Clare) they moved to what is now Calkinsville and were the first white people to settle there. As a village grew into existence it took the name of the first family locating there and that name seems to be the one by which it will always be familarly known.
In those pioneer days Mrs. Calkins proved herself one of those brave, sturdy characters that have made possible the conditions we now enjoy.
She was the mother of eleven children seven of whom still survive Levi Calkins of St. Johns, J. W. of this city, B. E. and Joseph of Calkinsville, George of Chicago, Fred of Temple and Mrs. Ada Bush of Alberta Canada.
The funeral services, conducted by Rev. J. W. Hathaway of the M. E church, were held at the old home at Calkinsville on Tuesday of this week and her six sons bore her to her last resting place in Cherry Grove cemetery where she rests in peace beside her husband.
